New member introduction - Hello!
Jun 16, 2019,16:51 PM
Hi all,
A WIS buddy turned me onto this site, and after browsing for a few days, figured I'd introduce myself. There is a wealth of knowledge here, and some great photos too! Apologies if this isn't the right forum.
I'm Daniel from Boston, have been a collector (and sometimes seller) for about 20 years, mostly mechanical tool watches. Love anything that is purpose-built, but do enjoy a wide range of timepieces from staples Omega, Panerai, and Rolex to microbrands. My present obsessions are alternative case materials such as zirconium, carbon fiber, and in particular brass and bronze, which I've been experimenting with various forced patina methods - natural patina example below.
Along with the watch gene, I also into cars, love technology (I lead engineering teams for a software development company) and am a reformed professional photographer, now enjoying it as a hobby.
Looking forward to sharing with the good folks here, and learning along the way.
Cheers!
