Hello everyone
My name is John, and I live in Adelaide, South Australia.
I have been interested in watches and other mechanical devices all my life and been collecting watches for 30 years.
Always wanting to learn new things.
John.

Greetings from Melbourne.
Nice to have another Aussie on the forum.
Looking forward to seeing some of your collection.
Any particular style of watch you've been collecting?

My first ever watch was a Seiko, when I was a kid, which I still have. It's a Seiko 5 - 7009-8390, see below. My collection is mostly Rolex tool watches and a few others. All mechanical movements. I'm starting to get back into 1970's Seiko. I really like the tool watches, and have purchased a few lately. Still looking at getting a few more. I have also been tinkering with watches lately, a nd really getting into it.

You are a lucky man to live in Adelaide because our very own AdrianVTA who owns and operates Vintage Time Australia is right there too.
Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing those photos.

Thank you again.
Yes, I have spoken with Adrian.
I just bought a heap of stuff off him this week. I am sure I will be using his services very soon.
John.
