 Hello all. First post here. I have always been fascinated with timepieces, both clocks and wristwatches. While I have always had a watch or two, I have never kept a third one in play. I don't know what has happened to me, but recently I have developed a brain tumor or something, but I have gone wild in the watch accumulation department.

I appreciate the comments about watches I am able to read here, and am currently seeking advice on a winder ( for two watches preferred ) and a display / storage case for watches. I have been reading about winders and cases on Ebay and Amazon and have yet to make my move. Am leading towards Swiss Tech winder and 20 watch case. Any feedback about either of those would be appreciated.

Watch wise, my most recent purchase is a Tag Formula F1 from Costco. Is black faced and hard to find at Costco as the black face has sold out at ALL but one of the local Costcos...  That was until last night when they sold out the last one to me! I think I may return the watch, however because even though it was a good price, I am not crazy about the watch and the purchase seemed to be more about the fact that I was getting the last one, rather than getting one I wanted. The Tag I truely want is a Link Calibre S, of course the cost difference is substantial, but getting a Tag I didn't want will probably keep me from ever gettting the Tag I actually want. Also, the Tag F1 that is sold at Costco is an old model, not the one you will see at Amazon that has the date window at 3:00, but between 3 and 6... AND a much less attractive face than the other more current watches...

So, in any case, hello. My name is Paul, and I live in Southern California, Orange County more specifically. Any comments about my Tag rant or case or winder suggestions will be appreciated.
