New here

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for a few weeks but am just now getting around to making an introduction.   I'm Nate - a long-time watch enthusiast but not really a serious collector (yet).  My collection so far is a bit eclectic and haphazard.  I've inherited a few, owned others since I was a teenager, and still others I've picked up recently.  

I've lately been more interested in the online watch scene, so I'm looking forward to contributing where I can.  I've also got some interesting watch-related side projects that I'll share more on soon.

This place is great - everyone seems very supportive and the community feels smaller than some of the other watch forums.  I made a post on r/watches the other day and it almost instantly disappeared in the deluge, haha.

 Looking forward to sharing more!

-Nate

Welcome to WC, glad you’ve chosen to introduce yourself. 
 

I‘m going to need more pictures and the story behind the gold nugget covered Omega. I don’t think I’ve seen one before, and it looks pretty amazing. 

·

Well, it's encouraging to know that you've chosen to stay after lurking. ;)

Welcome!

Stay Crunchy & MTFBWY!

PS: I also need the deets on the nugget

Welcome home

Welcome to Watch Crunch, Nate. I hope we'll be hearing more from you and I thirded my two collegues above me and ask, just what is that delightful watch behind your Rolex there my good man? 

You simply have to tell us all about it, my dear. 

Stops with the British dandy impression

Welcome!  Thanks for joining.

Funny thing - I wouldn't wear this particular Omega or that Rolex. But daaaamn, I'd wear the Swatch Irony "Cold Hour" retrograde chrono. Wanted one as a 14 y.o. brat, and I'm twice as old now. Yet somehow I'd still want the Swatch Cold Hour

Thanks! I've been a Swatch fan since I was a kid... That was the second one I ever bought and it's definitely my favorite Swatch.

·

Appreciate the warm welcome! I don't actually know much about the Omega because it doesn't have many identifying markings on it. I'll get some good pics and post the backstory on it though.

·

Welcome new crunchy neighbor Nate 🍻! 

Dang - that collection is eclectic; Rolex and Swatch are not often cozy bedfellows.  Also dig the royal purple vibe in your watchbox.   

And yes, it's pretty much all among friends here. 

(  So will be super weird when we all meet up in person someday and realize we've been catfished all this time by those like @HotWatchChick69 )

Welcome to the Crunch! That's a nice looking collection. These guys all want to know about that Omega nugget and I'm sitting here wanting to know the story of the Rollie? That's what I like to see. That watch has been worn with a lot of love. I bet it can tell some great stories. That Wenger also. One of my most favorite and comfortable watches to wear. I can't wait to hear about these. Again welcome 😁

·

Welcome to the Crunch. Looks like an awesome collection you have there :)

·

Welcome fellow Cruncher. 

Well it seems you're going to have to enlighten us all with some details and loads of pic's of the Omega, trust me someone here will know the exact model, year it was produced ect once they see the extra photo's, their a weird bunch, but I love em all the same 😉

We only have a couple of rules "No watch snobbery allowed" everyones watch is welcome and "Your input into the chats is mandatory" when contributing "Sarcasm and a sense of humour are a must" Welcome aboard 👍

Welcome! I have to say that Datejust is 100% on my wishlist- what a watch 😍

·

Welcome to the WC family! I'm sure you'll enjoy being here more if you do interact with more members and participate in the posts and discussions on the forum. Just be aware of crazy ones! 😜

Thanks and for sure I'll make a post on that one.  Both the Omega and the Rolex were inherited from my grandfathers, so they both have cool stories.

I called the Victoronix a Wenger. Oops. LOL 😂 Still like it. It's a part of the Swiss Army family. Very comfortable watches to wear for me

Nice to meet you Nate!  Great collection!

·

Welcome and Enjoy! Looks like you know a thing or two about the apex of a curve 

·

Welcome! look forward to hearing more about your collection.

Indeed sir... my other hobby is club racing.  I'm guessing there are more than a few other car people on here.

Welcome

WELCOME to the club!

Welcome to the best watch community on the internet :)

Welcome to the watchfam!😊

Is this the eminem Rolex?🤔🔥

OP knows how to position watches in a case symmetrically so it looks right, thus hopefully avoiding that awful desire to fill the whole thing!

After some Googling, I'm guessing you're talking about this one: https://superwatchman.com/eminem-rolex-watch-price/

Mine is an Omega but wow, those bracelets do look similar.  Guess I know what my Halloween costume can be this year, lol

Thanks but no, desire not avoided 😂 Plus once it's full, there's maybe one or two in there I'd want to upgrade...
