    Hey everyone,

    Always been here and there, posting on WRUW thread and replying at times, due to a recent request, I'd like to take this opportunity to share regarding my collection.

    Got the vintage bug a year ago and this forum have surely enabled me further. l gotta say this forum might be called Omega Forums, but the variety of watches available especially vintage piece is just unbelievable. Just wanted to say thanks for the space and help, hoping to learn more and more each day started knowing nothing and have to say I learnt so much within the last year. Friendly and helpful forum members are key to this forum! Made friends along the way, and definitely the bonus of vintage collecting.

    Started my collection with the Omega Seamaster and Constellation, and have focused on more of the textured dials and here is what is left in my collection. I do wear them less often than the vintage chronographs, but will always have a soft spot for them.

    l then venture out to more of the sporty vintage chronographs, due to their larger size which fits more to my age. My first was a 3592.50 Speedmaster, and never looked back. Here's the collection that has stayed with me. A theme of vintage chronographs is born, and I do love my fair share of panda/reverse panda dials. There's a few coming but won't include them for now.

    Thanks, I think it's from the 70's, haven't received it in person but will confirm again.
    Thanks, got lucky with the Graph but glad to have two of them. Really well built!

    Great collection for only one years work, you certainly have a good eye for a nicely aged watch.:)

    Crikey, I could do a '15 years later' thread, but it wouldn't have better watches in it...

    Those textured dials...!!! And the Enicars...!!! And the Heuers!
    You can keep the Speedy but the rest - feel free to send them to:
    Stygg Pyggesson
    Klockarvägen 10, 3tr
    141 99, Stockholm
    Sweden


















    OK, If that is impossible or feels like too much - I will settle for the ones with textured dials.
