I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress. Learning how to watermark is a fundamental skill for collectors. Sometimes it's the only way to tell stamps apart.
Some advanced collectors even make distinctions between the direction of the watermark, horizontal or vertical, and if the watermark is right side up or inverted. Sometimes the length of the watermark is used as well.

Have fun with your adventure. You'll be an expert in no time!
I've spent the last few years concentrating on Soviet Occupied Germany MiNr. 1 - 241 (paper, gum and watermark variations). I have DDR MiNr. 242 - Dienstmarken E in "postfrisch" condition.
I also collect Germany from Imperial Germany (1872) to unification in 1990 so I have a lot more fun ahead of me!
