Been lurking for a long time, finally signed up. I'm a 30mm guy, not like that! I been up and down the watch road before. From the first time I saw a nice one, like 40 years ago. But theft and other circumstances kept me away from this way of life(addiction).
So let's see what I can bring to the OF, I from the analog era. Got some books coming, I really love the books about subjects like this.

 

Welcome peep

What was that nice watch you saw 40 years ago?

 

Welcome to the forum. What books have you ordered? I'm always looking to add* to my watch book collection.

 

@vintage hab

I’m always looking to ass my watch book collection, but I’d probably be arrested

 

PSA: Never let @vintage hab borrow any of your books.

 

For me it was awesome, 12 years old a Rado something, aww struck. I don't like then as much now, but maybe one would be nice.

 

See that's the kind of advice a newbie needs. Also how is the grammar police around here, asking for a fiend.

 

Welcome @30t1 What sort of 30mm watches are you into? Pics?

 

Right now I have a couple of 30T2, this one here I got a week ago with the ugly nato strap but San Diego is a military town. Deciding on what strap to put on it.

 

Rado make some pretty decent watches - the Golden Horse and Captain Cook in particular. They also produce sensibly styled dress watches too

 

haha, well got coming the omega collector guide, I'm too poor for the omega maniac. Also the nerdy official catalogue of swiss watch repairs 1&2

 

I’ve just realized that emoji is an ass being spanked... I always thought it was a head being whacked with a machine gun

 

check out bulang and sons; they have every strap option you can think of

 

@30t1
@vintage hab

I have these two
I’m guessing most Omega enthusiasts will know these books. Not the most definitive of tomes, but worth a read

 

Need to read different stuff, a for another viewpoint also just to read. To be honest some of out of print “cult” books are insanely priced. I always have a $$$ line that I won’t cross.
