    ....so about a week ago, I bumped into a guy that is a bit of a legend in these parts. We talked life and of course watches and I told him that I had first seen him on this forum. It wasnt until later on when I frequented another watch forum, that I realised he was a collector of that brand also.

    A quick summary, I got a 5001-07 for my 30th from my lovely wife, 2 months later it was stolen when our house was broken into but prior to that I had lurked on this forum. I had to fight for a year with the insurers but eventually the hard work paid off and I managed to get a replacement 5001-07. but since then, I just havent been here, but after meeting the gentleman mentioned at the start, he encouraged me to post. So here I'am.

    Figured the best way to introduce myself would be through some pics, so here goes.........
