Hi everyone, I'm glad to have found my way here!
Like everyone here, I'm obsessed with watches, and have been for two decades. About five years ago, I started collecting somewhat seriously - mostly divers and some Flieger, ranging from Seiko to Sinn, Breitling to microbrands. I've come across this board by chance after a member mentioned it in another forum. I honestly had no idea you guys existed. I also had no idea what absolutely insane dedication I would find, and the more I read through the posts and see the different builds, the clearer it is to me that THIS is the kind of collecting I want to do. Hands on, DIY, wearing something because I put months of work and research into it, and not because I dropped $20k at a boutique. So, thanks for infecting me I guess you devils.
I hope I won't annoy you with my noob questions for too long, and I'll be lurking and learning the terminology and the techniques so I can hopefully one day a) contribute more than just a drooling emoji to all the builds here, and b) build a transitional 3646 MMOP homage for myself. Cheers.

Re: New guy here
Thank you, kind sir! I was thinking about a Yoda joke, but I didn't want to get banned before my third post.

Don't, I can make you disappear. LOL!
Go ahead, look around and ask whatever you need to know.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Re: New guy here
Thank you! Ive been reading up on the old forum as well, what an insane amount of information. What happened that made the forum move? I hoped i could find it in a sticky somewhere, but to no avail.

We had to create a new forum as a back up of the old one since we lost control over the login and sign up system.
That happened because the administrator of the previous forum is missing.
