Welcome, Thurmond!
I did my reveal via my new 5711 recently. We all would love to see your pictures! And as an engineer myself, I found myself most in awe (and still so) at the engineering feats and beauty of mechanical timepieces. Thanks for your wonderful intro note!

Another lurker reveals himself
Hello Everbody, I've been lurking for over a year now and I'd like to participate more frequently in this forum's discussions. Therefore, it's time to introduce myself. I've been collecting mechanical watches for 15+ years now. My watch collecting history...
Welcome to the crazy gang, Thurmond.
It was a pleasure to read your introduction, and i am really looking forward to reading more from you! As for the safe, yes, this is a well known phenomenon, here. ;) Best! Nicolas

I recognize myself in what your wrote
Hi Thurmond and welcome on the "bright" side of the forum. Yes, I went through the same events: The first watch ... not to be bought too soon; buying trend ... toward more complications (functions or material, design ...). I thought it would never end and...
