I suspect I may have made myself persona non grata but I will pose the question anyway.
Moderators...I wondered out of interest if you found that members tended to contribute to multiple forums...vintage / modern / rolex etc, or do they tend to keep to one forum?
I tend just to look at the vintage forum.

I'm no moderator (but I could play one on TV ).

I think you will find this forum has a nice 'brotherhood' feel to it, so there's lots of crossover between forums. It really matters not, however, since it's 'to each is own', but it seems many members here are by no means 'married' to any one Forum. However, I've grown quite fond of vintage watches, so I probably spend most of my time there, brand less important to me... FWIW, don't care for Rolex, love Omega, Longines, and Zenith...

 

I have recently began hanging out on the vintage forum (also spend time on TRF and VRF) and lenjoy it here.

 

Just to be sure, were you referring to crossover just within Ω Forums?

 

I'm afraid i'm bit of a one trick pony...yes, just Omega forums...although I am branching out into Russian space watches.

 

That's quite fascinating... love to know more. That would make a very interesting thread, and a nice compliment to the Space and Moon Watches that we discuss here... might even get into some controversies!!!

 

And I didn't ban a single one of them!

 

Have a 105.003 ( albeit without a DON bezel!!! ), just bought its Russian Omega 2998 equivalent ( considerably cheaper! ), have a 105.003 equivalent ( Poljot 3017, although I have to admit its more like a modern Omega Speedmaster equivalent ) and looking out for a Gagarin watch!

 

Maybe I'll change my tumbleweed aviator back to normal!....I hope it demonstrated some degree of contrition! ( I'm afraid I do hold some controversial views regarding DON bezels but will keep them to myself! )

 

Fair cop, nice clock tower though!...tallest freestanding in the world.....but then apparently we have more canals than Venice!

 

You don't have ANY of those without pictures; Pictures, PICTURES!!

At least a tease; maybe you're waiting for a full 'reveal' thread...

 

First thing I do is press "latest" and see what is going on throughout, then I participate on whatever conversation appeals to me no matter what the forum is.

 

Todays purchase....Surmanskie 15J....good provenance, sure I overpaid but its a keeper.
Probably the 2998 equivalent...15J probably issued to Gagarin on graduation.
17J first in space.
I'm sure many people on this forum know this, hopefully none will tell me its a fake!!...did my homework before so will be disappointed!

 

Bingo! What's the latest......and what's for sale!

 

I down t go on the other brands because I only want to collect omega watches and might start coveting other watches apart from that I click on them all and read whatever is interesting.
By the way Would like to see some more of your Russian watches please.

 

But no decent football teams.
