 Hello everyone!  I thought I would introduce myself. I have been a member at 3T since April 2011 and have been lurking about admiring the amazing watches here since then. I have been waiting to post until I had a reasonable collection and some decent pictures. I realized that with my photography skills I will be waiting for years and my collection will always be modest, so here I am. Ever since I could remember, I have been interested in Divers, got my first Timex Diver back before High School in the mid 1970’s just before the digital watch craze.  I wore it for several years but did not know it would need service. After it broke down, digital watches were everywhere - so I owned a succession of cheap digital/quartz watches. A couple of years ago, for no particular reason, I started noticing watches, and bought a Citizen eco drive Chrono. Now I own a Hamilton Khaki Navy 3T, a Hamilton Khaki Pilot, and a Benarus Moray III Red Dial with Arabic numbers. I also thought I might try to build a vintage watch from parts so I have acquired a NOS Gallet Multichron 12 case and NOS Dial and will be attempting to build it up from there. I live in Southern California with my lovely wife and 4 kids and look forward to seeing you all here.
