Hello Omega Forum, my name is Ben and I have a watch problem and from lurking I deduce I'm in good company. I'm UK based and 40 years young next year so on the hunt for a 1979 Moonwatch (a grail for me) and this forum has already been invaluable. My copy of Moonwatch Only arrived today and I feel like I've got some serious homework to do. Current rotation is a Sinn 556, Ollech & Wajs Chronograph, Seiko Hi-Beat, Citizen Bullhead and some other weird cheap autos. I look forward to contributing and a steep learning curve. Cheers
Welcome to the forum Ben. You sound like you have a good grip on what you will be looking for and definitely going about it in the right way by arming yourself with information. We are all here to learn and share and like you I have found this forum invaluable. Cheers
Hello Ben, welcome! Awesome book, I'm slowly chewing my way through mine, also appreciate the excitement of the milestone purchase , secured mine this year for the 40th too.
I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long year. Stole many a man's soul and faith. Pleased to meet you!
Welcome to the forum.. I am new here also. I find that the people here are great and very helpful with information needed.
Welcome friend. I just wish to warn you that forum like ours are very slippery tracks where you may not predict with how many watches you would land up in your possession in a year or till your funds are exhausted. And on top of all that, all your such purchases would seem to be essential for many undisputed reasons..... Good luck
40th b day present of a Speedy is fairly common. My 145.022-76 says hello. As a newmember let’s see your collection!! Also your looking for a 145.022-78 and use IlovemySpeedmaster.com to date it.
Thank you chaps for the warm welcome, afraid I'm no good at jokes @kingsrider, Brexit is about as funny as it gets here. I just took a couple of snaps of the watches I have stashed in drawers, there's some really eclectic stuff! The Bullhead is a redial which although less than £100 was a quick lesson to research before pressing that buy-it-now button. The Sinn has pretty much become my daily, the titanium Seiko (my 21st birthday present now I come to think of it) is my beater when renovating the house/motorbikes/garden. I tend to wear the O&W and the Lord Marvel to my job which is in a high end London casino - I am fortunate to see the worlds best timepieces on a pretty daily basis, where better for the wealthy to show off?! I added a picture of one customers £40k JLC from the other week... Anyway I'm rambling, nice to meet you all.
