Title: Better late than never...
Post by: Plankton-IkanBilis on May 12, 2012, 02:17:41 AM
Taking the opportunity at this wee hour of the day to say hello to all via my very first entry.
I have been in this hobby since year 2001...followed by a hiatus of about 6 years (due to other priorities in life)...and I hope to be back for good from 2012 onwards.

As part of the introduction, I shall upload some of the pieces I have...well, they are not all mine - common ownership with my dear wife.

Note: I am very fortunate that my wife prefers wearing mens watch instead of those dainty pieces for ladies. So there is no problem of getting approval from the Home Minister as far as collecting watches is concerned.

Frankly speaking, I do not want to bring up my "members intro" post...since it is quite stale...but since some of you have asked....

Hans Wilsdwarf...a homage to Hans Wilsdorf (the man responsible for Rolex...as most of you already know)

Why `dwarf'...if you look at the watches I have (under Watch Gallery)...I am focussing on Rollies at this point of time...and compared to the big time Rolex collectors, what I have is easily `dwarfed' by what they have.

Hence, at the same time, I will always refrain from the word `collection'...prefer just `what I have'.

Cheers! :thumbsup:
