First post - my collection

Hello all, am new to this posting thing, and am reasonably dyslexic so apologies for the crap grammar. Just thought I would share my collection with you as I have enjoyed reading about yours. 

Hamilton khaki field bronze 38mm. Been wearing everyday recently, purchased before Xmas when I found out my wife was pregnant, can't wait to see it chance over time.

Depth charge. This is a 41mm dive watch from the UK retailer watch shop, incredible specs for the money, could be a smidge too big for my wrist.

Raymond Weil Dress watch 34mm. My mother gave me this watch when I was 16 it was my father's and he past away when I was young, I think this watch sparked my fascination for watches.

Casio g shock dw5600. This is the square with a negative display and solar. 

Great community here, and excited to join in with the watch topics.

Welcome and congratulations on the upcoming birth of your child.

I hope that the Raymond Weil can help keep your fathers memory alive. I still have the Timex Indiglo that my dad was wearing when he passed away several years ago, and even though the monetary value is insignificant, it's the most important watch in my collection because of that connection. Perhaps one day your son or daughter may be able to treasure the Hamilton Khaki.

Welcome and thanks for sharing your collection!

The Hamilton and the Raymond Weil are priceless since they’ll always be connected to treasured memories.  I’m sure they’ll be equally treasured when you pass them on to the next generation.

Welcome and congrats on the little one. Kids are incredible, grandkids are 10x better. You will one day understand.
