Hello all,

I just joined the forum and wanted to say hi. I own two Omegas. a 1970's Geneva Stingray 166.122 and a 1990's Seamaster 300M 2532.80. Always been a fan of Omega's and glad I found this forum.

Thank you,
Sam

Thanks, that's top photo is very interesting! I´m no Omega expert (I just like most of them) and to be quite honest I´d never heard of the Geneva Stingray...but I like it! A rather unusual watch! Cheers and welcome!

Thanks, yes it's an odd duck but interesting. I don't have the original bracelet or strap so that's an aftermarket. I just had a full service done to it and it works perfectly, just shows it's age.

Hello Sam.

Thanks and good question, but tough one to answer 😀

For Omega a 1950's speedmaster would be perfect
For Rolex a Milgauss
And in general, I'm an engineer and fascinated by mechanical devices so a vintage tourbillon, any make is fine 😀

Great start - you will find a wealth of information and knowledge here - getting at it isn't always easy though 😉

Welcome to the forum. Agree with all who've said you'll learn a lot and start down the rabbit hole. 👍
