Hello everyone,
I just recently found this site and registered yesterday and have been lurking on and off since. I might as well tell you all a little about myself. I've been actively collecting watches for a good 6 years now but for the longest time was a one or two watch wearer. I collect affordable watches in the likes of Seiko, Citizen, Timex, Casio, Vostoks, and a couple of Swiss autos. I like all watches, from AT digital to a few dress watches. Mostly I have dive watches as I find them to be the most versatile. I have a few dress watches too so I just really like them all. Homages, yes I'm cool with that as well but definitely no straight up fake or replicas. That's just doesn't sit right with me.
I like the outdoors so most of my watches get plenty of exposure to such activities. Hiking, hunting, fishing, skiing, mountain biking, camping, etc. Hoping to get a welcome from you guys but if not, I'll just lurk around and admire everyone's collection and learn from the wealth of knowledge from you guys. I figured I'd be hanging around The Frugal Connoisseur's Corner mostly.
I believe that every introduction should contain pictures because as the saying goes..."picture is worth a thousand words". A preview...
Best regards to everyone ~v~

Welcome to WWF, you are welcome whichever forum you choose to hang around in the most. Looks like you really are quite an outdoor guy. Thanks for providing those excellent photos. You must have quite a knowledge of photography as well judging by those great photos.
Cheers, Carl

Welcome to the forum. As already state, great diversity in your collection and beautiful photos. FYI - I’m an avid skier (alpine) and mtn biker too. Got lots of snow in my neck of the woods but I'm temporarily sidelined as I recently hyperextended my right knee and have a grade 2 calf strain/pull after a minor downhill crash that has me hobbling around momentarily. Give me another week or two and I should be back. Ski on my brother. Thanks for the welcome and kind words.
