    **** watchgasm which was your first ****



    Well it has surprised me I thought I was a collector of watches and the people who only wanted one or a couple just plainly confused me but of late I am starting to get it I had my first Watchgasm it came via a cwc .

    I have had lots of watches and some I have unwrapped and worn for like an hour and thought hmmmm and then it has sat for months un-used some have worn for like a day a week etc etc and then they go in the draw but with the cwc I have worn it. coming on two weeks solely not had another watch on (well tried my lovely comp win on but that got resource fast well I did not have much choice with that one).

    It even got me to the point where I am moving watches on just can't see me wearing them which I never thought I would do but feels wrong to sell them (yeah I am weird I know ) so have gifted some and trade a few that felt ok so looks like I could be a one man watch but with a very occasional day off with some thing else.

    so my first was this




    What was yours ? ....

    Not quite sure, actually...

    Other than G-Shocks, this was the first picture I uploaded, so this might have been my first enthusiast watch -

    yes been thinking about getting an old diver seen some nice ones in america on the bay but the cost to ship over just makes it not worth while
