    Hi all hello from sunny Ireland.

    brand new on this forum, a quick intro, I have been collecting and changing my watch collection over the years but it has always had one or two vintage Omega and Rolex within it. Along the way I have been lucky enough to own some very nice watches but I think the value of these watch have hit the normal working man today. If I were to start my hobby again today I would need very deep pockets to own the same watches today , even thou most have gone. I think prices have just went mental in today's markets. Especially vintage Rolex which I am sorry to say is starting to really hit the vintage Omega scene with two specific vintage models (Seamasters 300's and early Speedmasters)
    I have recently noticed a funny thing has happened to my taste, I started with military watches which lead me to a vintage Omega 300 and then a Tudor M.N... on to vintage Rolex pieces. Then modern Rolex and now it seems to have gone full circle back to vintage Omega.
    I just bought my first Speedy today on this very forum (which I hope is a good one?). A transitional 1969-70 straight writing stepped dial etc.

    Some of the old collection
