I just wanted to say hello before posting a question to a different thread, as it feels rude to just show up seeking information without an introduction. I hope there are some members from the U.K. and Wales, but in any case, greetings. My main hobby is fountain pens, but I do love a well-running watch.

Afternoon, and welcome.

I am in Wiltshire (and drive on the side of the road that all ‘right’ thinking people should😗).

I’ve just driven through Wiltshire, on my way to Wimborne

There’s a decent thread on here regarding pen collections. Can’t seem to find it at the moment, so hopefully somebody else might be able to provide a link

I’ve tried to upload a photo of an inherited Conway Stewart, but can never get a decent shot with a phone camera

Have a good one

Cheers - I'll have to hunt it out! Hand shake trying to take closeups with a mobile is a nightmare. Conway Stewarts can have lovely nibs.

Welcome to the forum, a good start with watches and pens! I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time here, plenty of UK members. In spite of my avatar and user name I’m in Eastleigh near Winchester.

Now let's not start an argument but we drive on the wrong side of the road? Err no, we drive on the correct side of the road. 😁

So that’s at least three members on this thread within a stone’s throw... small world

3 just across the bridge! London might be a bit of a stretch just yet, Tyrantlizardrex, but it's certainly doable.

Welcome, this forum is bloody addictive, prepare to give up a few hours a day but you learn so much so it’s worth it.
