I'm Joe from Clear Brook, VA, which is north of Winchester, which is about 70 miles west of Washington, D.C.
I got into this hobby in the spring and have been busy--probably too busy--collecting since then.
My collection thus far:
Zinex Nitros Abyss
Dievas Aqualuna
Benarus Moray
Boschett Cave Dweller
Debaufre Magnum Classic Edition Series
Debaufre Aircraft 8
Vollmer U5
Vostok-Europe Red Square Black & Silver
Moscow Classic Aeronavigator Chronograph
Orient Power Reserve
Invicta 9937OB
Incoming: Helson Shark Hunter
I also have a number of inexpensive Chinese automatics.
My mistake initially was to think that quartz watches were worth collecting. I am sure that is true for some, but I found the mechanical watches I acquired, even those that cost $50 or so, such as the Duboule Winchester, to be more interesting. The turning point was when I acquired my second 50mm-plus quartz watch and realized that they resembled bangles as much as watches.
So I have been selling off the quartz watches on e-bay and have been buying automatics, particularly dive watches.
Live and learn--and I have been learning a lot on this site and others.
Thanks.
