Hi everyone

My name is Nick, from Sydney. Some of you may know me as @sydney_watch_guy on Instagram. Others may know me from Aussie Facebook groups like Australian Watch Forum and Calibre61. I havent been an active member of a forum for a long time, so hopefully will change that. Ive done a reverse migration from Instagram to here.

I love Omegas. I cant remember how many ive had since I got into watches about 4 years ago. I always have something coming in or out, but these are my main 4 at the moment. Excuse the 1 am quality of the photo:

Welcome to the forums!

You mentioned regularly having watches coming and going. Do you have a "the one" watch which you plan to always keep? Or, one you immediately regretted flipping?

A new standard for the 'ghost' bezel, perhaps...馃槣

Yeah I have 2. The Constellation pictured that I got for my 21st, and the Planet Ocean that I bought for my 30th and is the perfect watch. Everything else im happy to come and go. My biggest regret was selling the PO Skyfall edition.

Wow, very cool!

Welcome mate, this is actually an Australian based forum run from Brisbane / Gold Coast. You're not one of the Sydney tarts crew are you?

Definitely interested in that. Ive hosted gtg's for my other groups and own a venue that can do it with absolute privacy.

That sounds highly suspicious..... Does it relate back to the tarts comment.......
