My User Name is PJerome. I've been around for some years on the other Forums...Recommended I join by Neckyzips. I especially enjoy looking and buying Vintage type watches.
Living in the Philadelphia PA area, I am a retired Doctor of Podiatry and an Oncology Physician Assistant also retired...I am a full time Band singer now. I have a vocal group called The Tridels and also work for an Orchestra and other musical groups.In the 60's I started a group with Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates, called the Temptones. You can Google that and The Tridels.

My watch collection was about 50, off and on , now down to 34. I'm trying to sell the ones I do not wear but have a dilemma, I like the ones I have and it's very difficult to get myself to sell them now. I've just really discovered Glycine Airman watches too, and I think I have a habit..... I like Panerai and Rolex models but chose not to purchase any more of them now. They will just sit there.I'm trying to wear what I have not expand at this time of my life. I own Steinhart, Dievas, Seiko, Maranez Bangla, Armida, Prometheus Sailfish, Bulova Moonwatch, Luminox Navy Seals and even a couple of Invictas too.I have several Homage watches . Radiomir vintage ,Rolex / Pam Kampfschwimmer, a Custom Neckyzips Panerai Cali Dial type, and Dievas Titanium Vintage Cali Dial .
Just love looking at watches and learning . I recently purchased a digital Timegrapher too...Just to play around and hopefully be able to regulate any of mine that need it. Nice to find a forum to learn more about Vintage watches and Homages.See you around...

It’s really cool that you have both the gens and homages! There is something special about a one off or a watch that was built for you, built by you or modified by you cause you know that no one else has a watch exactly like yours. ‘Tis hobby is ever evolving for me and I suspect probably you.

Is your music on YouTube?

Cool story... Hall and Jerome sounds like it could have worked but it sounds like you moved in different musical dirrections. Probably for the better since it would have messed up the hockey duo of Brett Hull and Adam Oates a few years later.

+1 on hoping to see your collection or at least certain pieces.

Welcome.

Welcome, NZ is a stand up guy.

Sounds like your collection is the same as mine. Fairly large and up and down. I'm trying to sell a few as well, but acquire just as many.

Dievas Titanium Cali Radiomir $800.(2).JPG
I can't figure out how to reply to one person at a time. I'll eventually figure it out...along with how to post pictures or videos...
In re to Hall and Oates, I'm a good singer but when you compare my skill to Daryl Hall, it's not in the same galaxy...He writes, Plays 4 instruments, arranges , sings, I sing...That's why I chose Med School and he's rich.. :lolno:

As far as watches and pix, here are some....If you see prices here it doesn't mean they are for sale. That is for my wife so that if I croak she will know approximately what they are worth. If I don't do that, she'll give them away thinking they are all "a Dolla". OUCH! I have about 14 , (am I allowed to use the word "Replicas"?)
I know I can't show them here or sell them I suppose. I think the most outstanding is the 6542 Rolex GMT Pepsi with an ETA movement . Homage to the historical first ever Rolex GMT Pepsi from 1957 Pan Am, but it says Rolex so I will not post it for fear of being sanctioned.....

As far as my music, I do just about every type from Motown to Sinatra,but it always seems that when i'm doing Sinatra , some fool is making a Video.
My vocal group, The Tridels , can be found on Facebook too. I try to stay off there if I can...

Here are some videos of the band I've been with for 37 years.... The Alan Paller Jazz Hott Orchestra. East Coast.
Nice to hear from all of you...I think i'll know some of you already from other forums like WUS ...
