Hi All

I am a new member on the Omega Forum. I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

I am a keen watch enthusiast and amateur watch collector. My first serious watch was an IWC Portofino as I could not afford my heart's desire at the time, the IWC Big Pilot. I eventually got the opportunity to buy the IWC BP in 2002.

I lived in the UK last year and was lucky to purchase a couple of Omega Speedmasters. Currently I own a 145.012-67, 145.0022 circa 1984, Silver Snoopy LE, Speedmaster '57, 40th Ann Apollo XI LE, 50th Ann LE and 25th Ann Apollo XIII LE.

I have also been very fortunate to reserve a Speedy Tuesday and can't wait to receive it.

Thanks

 

Welcome, friend. Enjoy your stay at the best watch forum.

 

Hello Sir : )

 

Welcome, PE is a really interesting place and I love South Africa. Did you live there before you were in the UK?
Hope you enjoy the forum.
Best regards,
S

 

Hello Phil. nice to see you on the forum. Be nice to see some pictures of your lovely watches mate?

 

If you don't post pic's they don't exist.

 

Welcome! I love SA, went to school for a year in Grahamstown.

 

Thanks for the welcome. I'm still getting used to posting a normal "post", but I will do my best with the photos.

 

Thank you VintageCaliber and for putting me on the Speedmaster path with the 145.012.

 

welcome to the forum, nice collection
where are you heading next collection wise ?

 

Nice collection! How do you like that 50th? Enamel dial?

 

Oddboy, there are 3 things that I love about the 50th besides it being a Speedmaster: (1) Column wheel chrono (2) finishes of Caliber 3201 (3) black enamel dial - photos do not do justice to the deep blackness of the enamel - IMHO.

 

Andreas, I bought the Apollo 13 25th Ann last week and waiting to arrive from Germany (have never imported a watch so new experience). Next on my wishlist is the Speedymoon and 40th Ann of Speedmaster. Also asked my AD, who is going to Baselworld to get me the 60th Ann should one be released.

 

Thanks OmegaBear.

 

Beautiful watches, all of them... Welcome!

 

Born and raised in PE. Spent most of my corporate career in Johannesburg and a year in Cambridge, UK. Got back to PE a month ago and enjoying a break from corporate life this year.

Been reading many posts on the forum and I enjoy the wealth of knowledge from the members.

 

Thanks. Only wish my wife would see the beauty in my watches

 

That shouldn't bother you.

 

What a show... and welcome to the house of fun....

 

Welcome sir, great collection you have there!
