Hello there, My name is David, and would just like to say hello to everyone. I am from Norwich, in the UK. I am an avid watch collector, and have some nice watches in my collection.I have just purchased a lovely Omega SMP 2551.80.00, which promted me to join this forum, as I feel I am now part of the club...haha. Pictures etc to follow soon.
Welcome! The SMP is a great looking watch, not that we'd know from your post. Easy to post photos here ...
Welcome to a great forum, I note you are from the lovely City of Norwich, which is home to the respected Watch and Clockmaker Michlmayr and Co Ltd.
here it is, on my wrist today.... The only thing that has annoyed me a little bit about it is the Bezel Insert is obviously not the correct one.... and will be looking at some point to get it back. I went back to the watch dealer and asked if it could be opened (he is authorised omega so it was ok) to verify it for me. The movement was the 1120...the serial was stamped and the movement was the real deal...which matched the card and watch case....he then pressure tested it. I felt a little silly doing it, as it was a very respected establishment ..but I had to be sure. I also checked the serial with Omega and they verified it. So I've done all I can to verify its Authenticity. I traded it from a Rolex Precision 6694...I prefer the Omega...it seems to have a little more class to it
haha...I also have a lovely vintage seamster from the 60s...with the 565 movement....perfectly working. I am at work at the mo...so cannot put pics up...but will later EDIT: found actual movement number
Hi David! Welcome to this awesome forum as I've been a long time lurker.. I've learned so much from everyone here and I'm confident you will too =)
