Hi everyone, I’ve just signed up and wanted to stop by to introduce myself.
My Name is Rich... and I’m a Seikoholic 😂
In all seriousness, I’m a collector of all things Seiko (and quite a lot of other stuff too tbh) and also a budding wannabe Watchmaker. I attend regular classes at the Epping Forest Horology Centre and try my best not to break things, whilst also having a workshop at home.
I’m currently trying to undergo a late career change (I’m 43) to become a full time Watchmaker (I’m currently a Cardiac Physiologist working in the NHS).
Along with this, I very sporadically post to my own blog (the title is my username), and hope to do so more frequently in the not too distant future.
Anyway, I look forward to chatting more with you all soon.
Thanks for having me

Welcome! I've also been playing with the idea of moving more and more towards that field, unfortunately i dont know of any classes particularly close to me, so most of my experience is coming from hands on mistakes 😁
Best of luck with your new career!

Hello Rich! You’ve finally found this place then mate, good call. Careful though, a very big bunch of enablers every last one of them, you’ll soon be buying watches you never knew existed. But you’ll also pick up a huge amount of knowledge on servicing Seiko’s. Welcome aboard mate.

As you well know, I need no encouragement to spend my money on watches. This could be a disaster... 😂

Cool, that kind of reminded me of an old fashioned Josh welcome. As you are channeling him please start some posts that I can’t understand and tell me to keep off the smack. Hope he’s doing well wherever he is.
