(Moderator edit -- ran slight off topic from https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2313 so now on it's own topic)

Haha!! On another forum I've seem people who are right into watches call themselves "WIS" - Watch Idiot Savant, perhaps we're all "Weather Idiot Savants"!

yup sadly I am 'in' to watches too :/

[hills]

me too...

[ho66es]

me too...

currently I am restricting myself to a breitling B1 and an Omega Speedmaster pro plus a few budget watches and family pieces. The only other watch I would truly like is a nice diver preferably mechanical and auto

Wow very nice!! I have a fleet of 14, the pride of which is a 1953 Rolex (pre) Explorer, the exact model number that Hillary and Norgay wore to the summit of Everest that year. The rest are mostly Japanese.

before we get totally off topic, I wonder if its the type of person we are that likes to run realtime weather stations that also makes us the type to indulge other hobbies. I think I will move hobbies to general

[hills]

Yes, I think we've just given the perfect demonstration of the type of people who sit and watch realtime updates.

ooh ooh - I've just dropped another .1 degree - have to go!

I do not even own a watch let alone understand how someone could be into them enough to visit a forum

So is it you or me that is weird!

The answer to that will probably come from your significant other - the looks from my wife would suggest I'm weird... but lovely with it

oops not very good with these quote things

Haha, well I can't speak for you, but I'm definitely weird (Damn I should have added that as another hobby ) You'd be surprised that of all the forums I have frequented, which include Jeeps, 4wd, Brock Commodores, Land Yachting, the watch forum seems to be the one where there is the most agro.

My dad was a train spotter... I mean model railroad enthusiest I still have all of his brass HO scale steam engines and rolling stock in boxes in my attic. I must admit I also still have my N scale trainset in my garage leaning up against the wall. I haven't used it in years though. I spent half a day getting it out and cleaning it up a few years back and it kept my sons attention for about 10 minutes.

There are forums all about handbags too. I don;t frequent them but when I was bought a significant one for a significant buirthday, I was told that a friend knew all about them and was that day meeting up with someone she had met on handbag forum. How the other half live! Sadly I only have one significant handbag, but have always fancied a Cartier watch.

Clocks fascinate me - particularly big ones I guess watches are similar - on a totally different scale. I'm referring to mechanical ones, not electronic.

You wouldn't want to make a typo in that sentence!

Although I've only got one, I particularly like cuckoo clocks. My wife insists I leave it on silent though...
