    Hello to all Omega lovers.
    I was a visitor of this forum for a long time. Finally, I decided to join this group of Omega lovers and to share my thoughts and photos about Omega watches (and not only).
    In my childhood I did a lot of swimming lessons. Back in 80's Romania was behind communist Iron Curtain and you could find only Russian or Chinese watches. I dreamed of a water proof watch to be able to measure my lap times in swimming pool. I really tried to seal with superglue buttons of electronic watches (Chinese, 4 pushers, alarm, chronograph, 8 melodies). Finally all drowned.
    When I was old enough, smart enough (I hope) and with some money, I went back to my childhood dreams.
    Why Omega ??? because a lot of reasons:
    - James Bond (I first saw Pierce Brosnan movies) is tough man, is well dressed, drivers wonderful cars, all chicks love him ... and he has OMEGA on his wrist :)
    - Watches are well made, have passed rigorous testing and some of them traveled all the way to the moon and back.
    - I found in a box untouched for at least 50 years, a watch that belonged to my grand-grandfather. It is part of part of my family heritage. According to the series engraved on the movement, was produced in the period 1906-1911. After a careful cleaning and a complete overhaul, it works perfectly.
    It seems that Omega is part of my family for at least 100 years.
    Enough with talking. Lets share some pictures:
    - Omega Seamaster Professional 2221.80.00
    - Omega DeVille SS&18k 7210.11.00
    - Omega Silver Pocket Watch
