What's the best way to say hello?

Hello everyone. I've been browsing the forum for quite a while now and really started to like it. So which watch is the best to introduce myself? The one I like most? That can change  day to day. The one I got last? Not much history behind it. The one I bought first? Not in my collection anymore (was a nice watch, but the proportions didn't fit me. 35mm does not work for someone, who is 6 foot 6). So I decided today, to go with the watch, that's been in my collection the longest. It's the second watch I bought, but due to the 9 month waiting time the third watch I got. It also marked my entry into independents. I loved the fact, that I could go to Kalbe, talk with Mr. Dornblüth himself about my watch and to get a tour by him around the workshop. These things made the diffference between buying "a" watch and "my" watch for me. Since that time, I've been attracted not only to the main brands, but also to independent watchmakers. Still love "my" watch today.
