Hello,

I'm new here but have been on TZ-UK and OTD for some time. I have a few Heuers and other brands but Omega is probably my favourite, I'm a sucker for the quartz and electronic watches, and the big chunky divers from the early 1970s. I'm based in Hampshire in England, here's what I currently have:

Welcome Foxy. We have quite a few UK members here, so let us know if you are ever planning on going to any of the big watch fairs.

That's a lovely dial on that Electroquartz 馃榾

I bet the calculations are going something like this...

$x for Healey. $3x for NYC parking space.

...and another $x for a running supply of mufflers - a big Healey is slung way too low for NYC and its collapsing infrastructure馃檨

Aha, you need a side exhaust! It does make me jump though whenever I set off a car alarm, which happens fairly frequently. And a later model with the jacked up suspension.

The footwarmer? It's an idea. I like the image of being followed down Park Avenue on a Sunday morning by a trail of car alarms.....

Welcome foxy and wow what a nice collection! It's nice to have another Healey fan aboard.馃憤 And all of the above about the Healey and city issues is why I keep mine at our Hilton Head place in SC, Chicago would kill it! The roads here are much worse than NYC!馃檨

Mostly my phone but also a Fuji X10 and a Canon SLR. The photos were taken over the last five or so years.
