    Hi there,

    I am fairly new to the forum. Have been following quite a while and now descided to become more active.

    Have quite a selection of watches and now become more found of the Missions watches.

    Been following chrono24, ebay and certain auction sites but not that many pass by,

    Any hints on where to lool or maybe you guys know some for sale?

    - i'm from the Netherlands.
    - prefer to have full sets.

    Best regards

    The Private Sales forum or set up a search on Watchrecon.com. Welcome, by the way. If you have "quite a selection of watches", you had better be able to prove it. Photos or we don't believe you.

    I got my first Omega as a present from my parents many years ago, which was a brand new snoopy because as a kid i was a snoopy fan. The "collecting" started later when i got my dad's speedmaster from 1969 which he got from his partens when he turned 18. Than it sort of took off.
    Also have some vintage Rolex watchea which i scores fairly good uite some years ago.

    Anyway, just tried to post in the marketplace but i need a minimum of 200 posts.... bummer. As i do not want to start littering with posts to get the 200 maybe a nice moderator could help me out?

    Anyway, here is another pic of one my dad's old dayly beater.

    Hi Lucas,

    Thanks but indeed saw them already bit in the following order:
    - i have it already
    - i think it is 3x the price i want to pay. It is a nice mission but it is in my opinion too pricy.
    - i have it already

    I asked Robert Jan to do a speedy Tuesday article on the Sky Lad watches. He said he would have to find someone that had them. Just so happens that you live in the Nederlands close by ;) .

    He might contact you to do a story on them. I hope he does.

    Sky lab was big when I was at school as it was due to crash land in Australia as I was finishing school.

    I am ok with that! When you talk to him, you can ask him to send me a message and i'll arrange that he can use them.

    I just get what i like. I dont need all of them but when i happen to run accros one that i dont have and the price is ok i'll go for it.
    There are still some on my wishlist. When i have the 200 posts in some weeks i'll put them in the WTB forum. Maybe there someone on here that he a certain watch and is ok with a trade or sale.
