New member introduction - Hello!
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!

Will do!
Thanks for the warm welcome, Art. We can certainly use something *warm* in Boston -- unseasonably cold here. Thanks for the tip on Wrist Scan forum, still getting used to the UI here, but I'll be sure to check it out! Best, ~Daniel
Bostonians are welcome here!
Certainly by me, born in Malden in 1974. I look forward to your increased posting and reading your words. Best, MichaelC.
Traffic
Thanks MichaelC, much appreciated! A few of my guys at work are from Malden - great town. After about 8 years of working in the city, I took a new role in Burlington ~2 years ago - not sure if you're still in the area but being from here, you may know wel...
Boston Traffic drives me bonkers
I was offered a job in Cambridge - flew out with the wife - wined and dined by prospective employer, hotel on the Charles River, etc it was all going nicely until the hotel had a fire alarm (minor smoke, it turned out) and we were outside in our pajamas i...
Seasons?
Hey Cazalea, Sounds like you got to experience all our New England extremes Any chance that was 2015 when we got buried in 115+ inches of snow!? Nice pics too, looks like your crew made the best of it!
I’m thinking it was 2003
I don’t know how much snow fell but it was so hard and fast that Logan lost all their ground equipment - carts, trailers, tugs, etc under 6 ft of snow.
Yup
...that checks out, definitely Boston But, we were all drinking Dunks ice coffee the next day
Welcome, glad to have you onboard. I think you’ll find this site to be extremely helpful and collegiate. I have learned a lot from the members here and I found them all to be a gentleman and willing to help.
Boston is one of my favorite cities. I travel there often. However I’m a Buffalo Bills fan.
Patriots Nation
Glad you enjoy the city! Pat's Nation is a crazy bunch. I might get crucified for publicly stating this, but I'm not much of a sports person. Sure, I'll cheer for the home teams but don't really follow (saving that time to read the watch blogs 😀 ). When t...
I gave up on sports when I discovered watches
A much better use of ⏱ & 💰. Especially in San Diego...
A very warm WELCOME here!
Great to read your introduction. Im sure you will find lots of inspiring and fun converstions here. Kind regards ChristianDK
