Hi all. Been posting on here for a few weeks now but just realised I haven't posted here! <hangs head in shame>
I'm Nick from Ashford, Kent, but originally from the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands. Career railwayman. Not a watch guru (wouldn't dare take one apart) but have a few specimens to pick from in my 'collection', small though it is. Probably posted most of what I own in the various WRUW posts of late. I'm absolutely in awe of you guys who undertake servicing - Simon (a.k.a siralan) did my inherited 6139 Pulsations a few weeks back and I was amazed at the level of workmanship. Hats off to you guys. "For those about to clock - we salute you".
I'm mid 40s, into rock music in a big way after watching Lynyrd Skynyrd at Knebworth '76 on the telly, and an avid concert-goer. 'Leffemonster' handle as its my favourite beer (note to all you Aussies - get yourselves down to Dan Murphy's and pass by the VB, Coopers and Carlton Draught and get some decent Belgian beer down your necks!)
Watch-wise - Orient, Seiko, Citizen. Would love a '68 Seiko auto or mechanical as my birth-year watch (late as possible in '68 given my actual birthday is in December) but haven't found one yet within budget - need the dosh more important stuff! Currently contemplating having my grandfather's Smiths Deluxe worked on as per my post in the Non Japanese section. Means a lot to me that watch.
So, sorry for being late in introducing myself, and accept my apologies in advance if some of my posts ask some dumb questions. As I said, I'm not a watch guru but I'm happy that you've accepted me into your world.
