·Hello everybody!
Please let me introduce myself. My name is Ruben and I'm a 23 years old Master student in logistics. I'm from Belgium. I've always been interested in watches and although I don't have expensive/luxury watches yet, I'm very interested in learning all about them. My main driver is a Dan Henry 1962, which is a mechaquartz watch heavily inspired by the Omega Speedmaster. The Speedy, by the way, is my long term grail watch!
I've mainly joined this board (other than learning about Speedmasters) because I'm interested in vintage Omega watches. I'll be doing a vacation job this summer which will allow me to save up a max. of 400 euros to put towards a dress watch. As far as watches go, my chronograph Dan Henry is very nice. However, I like to dress myself up about once a month, so I definily have a "need" for a dress watch. Since I'm interested in old-school things (I actively collect fountain pens), a vintage dress watch really speaks to me! And so I'm here - joining this board as a means of embarking towards my long quest for a vintage Omega dress watch.
I have done some research (reading, watching videos on youtube) and have encoutered some interesting vintage Omega dress watches already. Examples are the Omega DeVille, Omega genève, Omega seamaster 30 and so on. Apart from these names the similarities and differrences between such vintage Omega watches are not yet clear to me. Also, it seems that most of them are 34mm. This really seems too small for me - I'm currently trying to get info on 36mm vintage Omegas. I'll be posting another thread on this subject soonish as well.
I'm excited to learn many things on this board.
Cheers!
