Goodevening everybody, I just joined this forum, so the least thing I can do is properly introduce myself. My name is Eric, 48 years, live in the Netherlands, married, 4 kids (7,9,12 and 14 years), 2 dogs, manager in telecom industry..............and addicted to watches! As long as I can remember I have always been intrigued by the mechanical side of a watch (quartz, automatic or handwinding). So at a certain point I build a collection of over 40 pieces and then..........I got married and became a parent. Funny how things then start to shift towards more grown up stuff. So I sold almost everything I had with the exception of a '62 Omega Seamaster my father gave me for my 18th birthday. But after some years the terrible itch was there again, so I started buying watches again: Seamaster GMT 50th Years Anniversary, Omega 2254.50, Omega 2264.50, Zinex Nitrox LE, Longines Hydroconquest Chrono, Meistersinger AM507, Citizen Ecozilla, several modded Monsters, Glycine Lagunare 1000ft, Glycine Big 9 Chrono, Oris TT1 Diver, Oris Meistertaucher Regulator etc. Not all at the same time........but I'm quite a flipper when it comes to watchesmad.gif Some years ago I came to the conclusion that it's not about the brand or price, but all about looks. So I kept some, flipped many and bought what I liked no matter what brand or price. Accidentally I came across the "boutique brands" and for now they seem to do it for me: Steinhart, Boschett, Halios, Artego etc. So now I have a small collection of watches I actually wear in rotation as frequently as possible, I switch during the day, depending on occassion. And I'm a happy man..........my wife however......she probably just gave up one day. Now she even sents me a message whenever UPS shows up again with a package from some exotic place. I am active on local watchsites like Horlogeforum.nl (which literally means Watchforum.nl) and internationally mainly on WUS where I have bought/traded/sold a lot of watches and other watch related items. I hope I will be able to shift some of my energy to this forum however....... So looking forward getting to know all (well, most) of you, enjoy your Sunday! Regards, Eric |

Have a very warm welcome to 3T Mr. Eric! I'm so glad to see we have some things in common! I myself work in a Telecom company, this job allowed me to work in Luxembourg last year were several of my dreams came true! I've always loved everything about The Netherlands and on this trip I went to Amsterdam twice, once to see Ajax play (Ajax being my favorite team in the world) and another with my wife a tourists... All I can say is this: Your country is marvelous!!!!! Please post often and most important, include plenty of images in every post!!!!! |
