Hi all. I'm a Seiko addict and have collected watches on and off for about 20 years. I recently got into servicing and restoration and I enjoy taking non-runners and bringing them back to life. I do some watch flipping but I only do it with watches I like so it makes it hard to let them go! I have too many project watches now and I need to stop buying watches (I couldn't resist and just bought a Lord Marvel on Japan Mercari tonight) and get to work fixing the project watches and putting them in my collection or selling them. It is very fun and rewarding to do this but my backlog is too large.
I have always loved watches, mechanical, electronic, or quartz. I bought my first Seiko when I was in high school. I didn't appreciate mechanical watches until I got into my 30s and owned no automatic watches until that point. I have about 30 Seikos and 2 Orients, mostly automatics. I have a couple of Citizen EcoDrives. I have 5 Omegas, 2 of which were bought brand new more than 20 years ago. One of those is a quartz, another is a hummer, and the others are autos. I really love Omegas but Seikos were my first love and I just always fall back to them whenever I stray. I want to buy an nice Orient diver with a red dial and sapphire crystal but I need to sell some watches first! I would be more comfortable with about 20 watches in my collection and that way I wouldn't feel like a hoarder. Maybe the wife will not roll her eyes so much either.
Ok that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for accepting me into the group.
