Hello WWF, thanks for putting together this great resource for us watch nuts. I just joined today, started a thread or two and thought I'd give a quick into. I've been a small collector for 7-8 years and truly love mechanical watches. I've had the pleasure of meeting some great independent watchmakers and playing with timepieces that I'll never be able to afford. My first mechanical timepiece was a Tag Heuer Carrera chrono and I still have it today, chances are that I'll never get rid of it. Here are a few of the pieces that I own. My Roger Dubuis Sympathie Sport Ulysse Nardin Blue Wave Breitling SOH 44
My Hamilton something I can't remember, base Valjoux 7753 but with a longer power reserve. It's a fun everyday beater. Tag Carrera Chrono Couple of old Hamiltons, the pocket was my fathers. He broke it when he was a kid, I replaced the mainspring last year and it once again runs great. A UN I used to own along with my father's 16613

Nice collection Zach and welcome to WWF. Thanks also for creating the wristshot app. It'll be a great way to share more with other watch enthusiasts and possibly bring in some new OCD horologist types here as well.

Hi Zach, great to have you around, you have a beautiful collection and have created a great app for us enthusiasts to visit each day for a wrist shot. Unlike the others above I gave a lot of thought about my username on your app and after much deliberation I came up with the exotic and unusual user name of Dave.
