    Hi guys, this is actually my 3rd post but j haven't formally introduced myself. My names Mike from Memphis Tn. I always wanted a nice watch and in 2008 I spent the money from my last military deployment on a Tag Heuer. Well that led to my fiancée needing a watch and I purchased her a Tissot. Next came a work watch and I picked up a Citizen Dive watch. Around this time, a friend of mine introduced me to his Omega Speedmaster 20th anniversary watch. I knew one day I had to have one. Well skip forward to a few weeks ago and I inherited a few watches. One being an antique Omega, which lead me to this site, in hopes to learn more about it. Turns out it's a 14311, and a really cool watch. It's also my first mechanical/auto watch and I love the feel of it. Hooked on it, got me thinking about that moon watch again. I made a phone call and 6 hours later I became the proud owner of the 20th anniversary watch that I saw so many years ago. Now I'm just waiting on my wife to return next weekend with it. So that's me, thanks for all the help you guys have given. I really appreciate it.

    I spent five years in Memphis. At least once a week I crave ribs from the Rendezvous. I crave the talent on the Peabody rooftop on a daily basis. Memphis in August is tough though...

    Welcome to the forum! And you'll learn pretty quickly, talk is cheap. Let's see some pictures!

    Welcome to the Forum @Thumpinhard25 !

    One thing that we REALLY like here is photos of awesome watches. How about a shot or two of your Ref.14311 for example. And of course, when your 20th Anniversary comes in, more photos!
