Good morning, Passively watching this forum since months I think it's time to write some words about myself as an introduction. I am living in the french speaking part of Switzerland not too far from Omega in fact My passion for Omega - more precisely Speedstmasters - started with a silly idea : a year ago, I've decided to offer myself a watch for my 30th birthday, a watch that is as old as me - from 1985. Very quickly my research range was narrowed to Rolex and Omega for quite obvious reasons and this is how I started investigating on Speedmasters. I used to acquire Moonwatch Only (no need to elaborate, it's a real treasure) in order to learn more about the Speedmaster story and try to avoid newbee mistakes on buying my first Speedmaster as much as possible. The book has been of a huge help, indeed. I ended up by finding in Italy a 145.0022 in a perfect condition and it's been my first Speedmaster ever, with a certificate confirming it's birth year being same than mine, as I was dreaming to find. Since that, another Speedmaster joined the personal collection, a 345.0808 from 1991, also a full set including a certificate from Omega. Hope to find some relevant information for my new passion. See you later across the lines of the forum. Cheers !
Welcome! Love your Speedmasters, hopefully you'll find that there's so much more to Omega than just the moonwatch... Love your avatar picture...
Hello kov! Very nice speedies ! We have a lot in common : age - residence location - love for speedies ;-) That two tone is marvellous.
Welcome to the forum. I'm also in Switzerland. Lots of knowledge going around here. You'll enjoy it and I'm sure you've made a lot of friends with your Omegas.
