Two years of watch crunching 🎂🎂 and counting

I signed in for the first time here on WC two years ago yesterday. I must admit this place quickly became my favorite "social" network above all. Talking and watching watches all day long is my thing.This community is really something I didn't see anywhere else before. Everyone seems lovely, kind, without judgment, and a certain sense of humor. The cocktail is perfect.

During these two years I bought few watches, not that much, and sold few. I narrowed my top 3 for the next one, thanks to the posts, the WRUW pics, the reviews and the chat with people here and there.

I started wearing (solar) quartz watches and loved it (except the stress of them falling out of power). I stoped being a watch snob of the mechanical world.

I started to track my watch wearings in an Excel file, to renew and "challenge" the hobby a little.

I decided to stay focus on my next purchase, and not itching on little candies.

I started drawing a watch project, then abandoned it, then came back to it, maybe I will, probably not, will see.

And again, talking to people here from all around the world, all different, but with the same passion (for some we can say crazyness) for watches and horology, from the cheapest piece of plastic to the most beautiful and complicated models of holy trinity, you have all been really kind and cool.

Thanks a lot to the WatchCrunch community, and @Max for giving us this fantastic place
