Hello there,

I've been a lurker for a few years now, mostly a gemstone-drooler, but then I came across the world of vintage watches.

Well. That was it. Hook, line and sinker. 

I always wondered how people could want to collect something, to have alot of variants on the same thing. I didn't understand until now.

So to introduce myself. I am doing a Dip. Gem and hope to start my apprentince as a Jeweller soon. I am engaged to be married in November and am trying to balance study/work/wedding/jewellery addiction.

I am addicted to vintage watches.

Now I just need to figure out how to post pics to show my small (but growing) jewellery collection. And of coures my watch wistlist, with like-minded PS-ers.

Hello, I like vintage watches too. Women have it lucky because we can wear both men's and women's watches easily. I like both looks on a woman's wrist. Attached is a photo of a watch I have. It's about an inch in diameter I don't know the exact age but I've seen similar watches on characters in some of the Agatha Christie Poirot mysteries taking place in the 1930s. Looking forward to seeing other watches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
