Hello & WELCOME to WatchinTyme, the friendliest, most easygoing watch site on the interwebz, or, as I'm very fond of referring to it as, "a safe, well-lighted place" in which to enjoy this wonderful hobby, er, pastime, um, er passion, uh, obsession we all find ourselves sharing. But more than just being friendly and/or safe, this is a place where mutual respect for each other and our various watch choices is both a concept and a practice that each of us adheres to without exception. This is because many of us, including myself, have belonged to quite a few other watch forums on the 'net, many of which are, at best, run by nuts for nuts, to put it plainly. They talk a good game about being 'open-minded,' 'uncensored,' or other such lofty concepts, but in the end they're places where you need to toe the line, OR ELSE.
It was at just such a site that I was lucky enough to find myself a couple of years back, and it was there that I was also 'lucky' enough to acquire my very own stalker, who, when I made the mistake of questioning his word as the absolute truth in all areas of Horological endeavor, went on a two-year crusade to smear my name and "prove" to all concerned that my 26-year USN aviation career was all one big lie, to include the awards & medals I received along the way. Now I bring this up not to try and drum up tears & sympathy for myself, but rather show you just how wise a choice you made when you joined us here at WIT. Our founder wanted this place to be friendly, laid-back and free of personal attacks, 'bullying' & obscenity. Our moderators are pretty much the same in both temperament and performance, and they are never officious or heavy-handed. And, finally, our membership is also uniformly enthusiastic about "The Watch Thing," and very respectful of each others' opinions and hardware choices.
So please, take the plunge, come on in and feel free to show off your watches, share your knowledge or seek answers from your fellow WIT members. We all love watches here, and abhor the silly playground tactics that so many people on the internet should have left behind so many years ago. Again, welcome to WIT, and thanks for joining our terrific site. We hope you'll enjoy your time with us, and are very glad you're here...!
