court 12 Posted December 17, 2012 Hello people, Just a brief introduction so when I ask dumbass questions you can at least know a little about me when you tell me not to ask dumbass questions and go and read and learn Im from Manchester in the UK (therefore I am clearly a Man City fan ) and I have family in NJ in the US so know the relevance of that will be lost on most of you . My paternal grandfather was a watch and clock repairman and by all accounts a pretty good one. I have come to realise that whilst I have other expensive hobbies owning multiple actual gen high spec watches is a little beyond me financially. I do though admire the look of many classic brands and can appreciate the work that goes into reps. I collect 60's records and here I'm a bit of a purist and only the real thing will do. The reps in the record field all have their tells too and although they'll often sound the same owning a bootleg record just isn't satisfying at all. I have been known to trade rep watches for quality 45's in the past. I'd like to say that I'd inherited some of my grandfathers talent and would like to have the time and financial security to learn some of the craft he loved; but I'm affraid thats never going to happen. So I'm limited to playing around with the movements from numerous reps (often unsucessfully) :( but enjoy that all the same. You'll hopefully soon get to learn that my photography skills need as much work as my watch repair ones as I will post pics of acquisitions when they happen. Hopefully this will help me avoid a sh1tstorm when I ask something that's been answered 100 times before. I look forward to learning more and contributing when I can.
