Stefan, until i found this...

Stefan, until i found this forum 2 years ago i
was never a big forum participator or blog reader. i learnt everything i know
and built up a very large collection by reading books and meeting people via
ebay mainly. i was also in close contact with Ziggy Wesolowski, author of
'military timepieces' and bought several from him.
it was the puristspro who bought me back to life
and rekindled my addiction. as you can see by the number of posts and hopefully
the number of good quality posts and good watches i am a fully paid up
watchaholic.
i still rarely go on other forums as there are
some bitter and twisted people out there, lots of petty jealousy and rudeness. i
use them to buy from and thats about it.
on one forum that i buy from quite a lot you can
put your watch collection underneath your post, most have 5-10 fairly low priced
watches. i put mine on there, 43 pieces ranging from a freak to a zodiac
astrographic and the next day a moderator asked me to remove it as 'people had
complained it took up too much space'. read what you like from that, but space
was not the issue i think :)
i got my own back by re formatting it so its in
smaller font and scrolls which means it only takes up 4 lines. i've now put it
back on :)
i spend all day with the purists page up on my
laptop and refresh every hour or so, adding to posts if they interest me or i
have something interesting or constructive to add. thats the reason i'll have as
many as Nico in a week or so :)
best
Graham
