In case you are wondering about my nickname "Watch", here's a little story behind the name. About 1974 I started sending in labels, boxtops, etc. to get free collector watches. As my collection grew, friends and family started giving me interesting watches for gifts. I also collect reasonably priced watches from flea markets, garage sales, etc. My collection has now grown to over 101 watches. My oldest is my grandfather's pocket watch and my grandmother's watch. My most "inexpensive" watch is one I paid about 25 cents for at a garage sale. I also have watches from other countries that were given to me as gifts from people who visited there. Countries so far include: Russia, Spain, Italy, Indonesia, New Zealand, Ireland, Mexico and England. Most of my collection consists of watches from the US and three from Canada. The majority of my watches are in working condition and I take turns wearing them all!
