    Hi everyone, Calicollector here.

    I just joined the forum and know that most have rules and moderator/admins. Is there anything I should know before I start posting and make myself look like an idiot?

    Thanks all!

    First post and you have an avatar already.

    You’re off to a winning start.

    Read the stickies - do some searches. Post about watches.

    Post farming and chasing 200 posts is an early gotcha.

    You’re doing just fine so far.

    And as @oddboy said, we don’t judge or shame here....just watches we shame and judge.

    @oddboy and @JwRosenthal Thanks for the positive feedback guys, already feel welcome! Where would I post this to learn more about it, its value and some other questions like what the dial is made of. I know a decent amount but this place seems to be the spot for expert advice!

    Best bet is probably the Vintage Omega Watches forum.

    And if you want haven't already, grab a scotch and hit http://speedmaster101.com/category/blog/, especially the assessments guides and price chart.

    I feel like there is so much info out there on the 69-st but not the 68-st. Your post was one of the most informative Ive read so far. Ill go post on the vintage forum and see what happens! ::book::

    Better watch out, Stuart! @Alpha, not sure where he's grabbin'!

    #1 rule: pictures or it didn't happen!
    #2 rule: be honest and true to yourself and you will be loved. Mistakes are forgiven, polite requests are granted with pleasure, hard work and world class expertise..
    #3 rule: bs us or cop an attitude and you'll be outed straightaway.
