The practical joke that started my journey...

...Or how I have spent a value of 10 Tesco Meal Deals to give someone a brain aneurysm.

Yes, I am painfully aware that this sounds like a clickbait news article but let me assure you, dear reader, that was exactly how my watch collection started. Granted, there were about six alternatives I could have gotten instead but it was all in the name of annoying someone who was rather deep into the whole horology business.

Well, the task failed successfully, I reckon. Instead of stopping there, next thing I know its suddenly watching Teddy B, Ben's Watch Club and similar channels and browsing for actual start to my collection. Somehow owning various tick-and-tock implements seemed to tickle my goblinoid hoarder brainium just right.

Cut to the current times after adding MDV-106, Edifice, G-SHOCK and this one Lorus automatic to my collection and respectfully eyeing Orient V4 and PRX for the near future. Thanks to hyperfixation and the aforementioned someone, of course. Might not be the bestest collecting start in the world but the sense of pride and accomplishment is still there.

As for now I am here to be a lovable nuisance in the discussions with mostly sane additions to what is being discussed. For most part, that is. Thus, hello to whomst see this.

P.S: Shoutout to my sensei for all things watches. Be proud of the fact that I fell asleep to many a rants of yours @Lord_Dappingtonshire

P.P.S: Pictured is that Amazon wonder that unintentionally started me on this hobby.

Extremely good addition to my future collecting after I blindside everyone by buying safe and recommended pieces for a while and then, bam! Descent into madness and "Men's watch formal fancy gift all occasions leather strap Miyota movement". Muhahahaha. And this of course

Thank you kindly for a welcome. And truth to be told, I haven't even considered how "nail on the head" that brand name turned out to be. Couple more things like that and its halfway out of watch purgatory.

Or on the flipside, I can just become a equivalent of a human billboard. Suit - Armani, cuffs - Montegrappa, 'Victa on one wrist, Citizen on the other, etc etc. Can't be accused of chasing clout and trends if you yourself have no slightest idea of the chase goal.

At that point the clout will chase you

Appreciativeness. I am yet to wrestle the control of a provider of thoughts and musings to act positively towards me and mine but every day the void between me and the goal is becoming more balanced. As all things should be.

Not to worry, friend. For when apocalypse comes (or I get banned from here) you shall be revered as a visionary for having a strength and conviction to peer into the world that does not really follow norms of geometry or physics for there is only madness and watches up in there ^^
