First, a BIG thank you to Mark and the team for making these wonderful resources possible for the rest of us!

I'm originally from El Salvador which is a small country in Central America. Due to the war there, I ended up migrating to the US when I was a child, so grew up with my father's brother's family. I eventually married an American - 'my angel sent from Heaven' as I like to call her, since she is the reason I am who I am. I moved to the US in '79. Married in '92. Had our daughter in '94, and she married 2 years ago to an Afghanistan war US veteran who has a wonderful heart and whom I love as my own son.

I have always enjoyed watches, but didn't and don't have the means to have an expensive collection. I started following related YouTube channels and realized that you don't need thousands or even hundreds of US dollars to spend on watches to enjoy them :thumbsu:. 

I am not sure if I would really enjoy fixing and/or building my own watches, but I am interested in trying it out. Due to my job, I am not able to spend too much time towards it, so I'm here to see if little by little, I eventually dive into it. In the meantime, I truly enjoy the videos Mark and others develop and share!

Looking forward to being part of this community!

Hi JJ,

Like you, I don't spend a fortune on watches, but have accrued over seventy in a short space of time, ranging from £20 to £400. I think I've got the bug!

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I have 4 watches and 1 pocket watch (handed down from my grandfather), so I don't have much to share but would love to see others' collections! If you have a list of watches, DO share :Bravo:
