Hello, my name is Bob and I am from Derbyshire in England. I have been collecting mainly vintage wristwatches for well over a decade now, and am and have been a member at many sites. My collection is eclectic, from WW1 trench watches, Art Deco Bulova, forties, fifties, sixties and seventies run of the mill and a few odd ones.
Here is a photo of one of my favourite watches, taken under a UV light.
Cheers, Bob.

Many thanks for the welcome, and I'm honoured that you should think my adverts and my vintage knowledge worthy of a mention.
Will potter around and get used to the site, it and the members are renowned in watch circles for the depth of expertise, So see you around.

Regards, Bob.

I like Bulova too, these are both from 1953 and are called the 'Berkshire' (white) and the 'Air King'. Sadly no longer with me, but I have a few more.
