Thread: Hello from WatchNut22 in Boston (pic heavy)

  1. #1

    Hello from WatchNut22 in Boston (pic heavy)

    I recently discovered IWL and am I very glad I did. I have spent a lot of time on some of the other forums, but recently have spent some time here and it just feels like home. Thank you all for creating a warm, welcoming community for watch enthusiasts and by watch enthusiasts.

    I began my horological journey as a young boy. I have always loved watches, but it never occurred to me to become a collector until a few years ago. Who knew that was a "thing"?

    My tastes run the gamut, but I have settled mostly into the varied and fascinating world of vintage watches. But divers, chronos, dress, digital, modern, chronos, cushion cases, pin levers, winders, autos, chronos, big, small, bracelets and straps all round out my collection. Did I mention chronos?

    I have never really had a hobby before and this has become an important part of my life that brings me great joy.

    Here are a few pics of my babies, my pride and joy:








    The Divers



    The Rado Sisters



    And a few that really define my collection, my passion for vintage chronos!

    Welcome. Always a pleasure to meet a fellow Rado collector. The Diastar XL diver is one heavy watch isn't it?
