Hi folks, first time caller long time listener.firstly I'd like to say how much I enjoy coming to this site and reading and learning all it has to offer.My short watch journey started a few years ago when I happened to find a high end

watch magazine whilst doing some renovations at an airport,and it wasn't long before I stumbled upon this site.My first watch was the Habring dead second which I purchased through the only ADin Australia which just happened to be a short drive away. after reading many fantastic reviews and the fact I could customise it to my liking. I was fortunate enough to get a small discount and an extra strap and deployment clasp thrown in,the other strap being the opposite (blue with white stitching).

Next I purchased the PAM 510. When I first laid eyes on a Luminor I thought it was some giant clown watch, but after doing some research and looking at them often enough they started to grow on me.I got the opportunity to try some on at an AD in Melbourne, I wasn't sure I could pull it off with my girlie-man wrists,but was pleasantly surprised how well it fit. I waited a good six months till the 510 arrived but also received a good discount and an extra strap thrown in.

My most recent purchase was the AP Dual time, wow what can I say, its beautiful. I was actually waiting for the Panerai 572, but there was no answer on a release date in Australia. I chanced upon the AP on a Google search ,it's rare a good second hand AP comes up for sale in Aus ,I purchased it from a small store in Sydney which also happens to be the AP service centre in Aus so I know it was in great condition.

Well that's my short but so far memorable journey into the watch game, my bank account tells me to stop at three but the Bug won't let me .(I'm thinking an AP chrono next )

Here's a few pics, sorry photography isn't my strong point.
