And no Americans reading this, you can't pronounce either of the two suburbs above correctly, just like you don't know how to say Melbourne, Brisbane or Mackay.

This is true, but you Aussies are pikers compared to the Welsh in terms of the unpronounceable.

Can you say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch three times fast? 😜

Don't think you Aussies have the monopoly on hard-to-pronounce town names. Even my fellow citizens couldn't get it right. Glad we're not Welsh, though.

We have our share also in the US.

Try Kissimmee (Kis-SIM-me), Miami (Mai-ah-muh) or Cairo (KAY-ro), GA.

No one pronounces Miami correctly anymore.

Just joined this interesting & informative forum. Don't have a "watch collection" (yet?) but I like the less rare 50's/60's Omegas (especially Seamaster 30's with sub-second dial, particularly black faced versions). I already have one of these (given to me) but I'm very suspicious it's a redial/frank after doing as much research as I could (all internet based) before stumbling onto this forum. I've noticed many of the same names/avatars (here) popping up on many of the sites/links I've been perusing/studying.

I see that a significant number of for sale watches (private) here only ship within the CONUS - bummer for me.
Looks like this will be a more reliable place to find a genuine (non redial, non Franken) Seamaster.

Not sure if there are any Oris people here but my avatar is a macro shot of a recently obtained piece from the Oris "Jazz Collection" ie John Coltrane - perfect for a jazz fan who likes 50's style dress watches (of course I'm a big jazz fan).
Cheers

For those times when the seller refuses to go outside of the Conus consider using a USA shipping warehouse like Shipito.com.
