New here, moved by old watches found at home!

[MicheleDB]

Hello there, my name is Michele, I’m Italian but I live in London. 

During the day (and sometimes during the night!) I’m an airline pilots but it has been years that I have a deep passion for watches. 

I own a few, although nothing super expensive, but watches that I love and cherish.

It is now time to move to something deeper, such as looking under the hood and develop this lovely hobby for the long dark winter nights.

The trigger was the will to restore a couple of old watches that I got from my father, an AVIA that was my grandfather's (I never met him) And a CYMA Tavannes.

I am looking forward to debating any subjects with you!

Thanks a lot and read you soon!
