Greetings OF, I'm a recent addition here but I have been active on WUS forums for quite some time. I love vintage Omegas and Longines, as well as everything Seiko from the 50s to the 70s, and some modern GS's.
My vintage collection started with two family watches that have a permanent place in my drawer. I have a Seamaster Cosmic 166.026 that was passed down to me from my dad's father who received it from one of his patients as a thank you gift. I also have a well-used Rolex Oysterdate Precision 6694 given to me from my mom's father who purchased it new in Okinawa when he was in the US Navy during the Vietnam era. Both watches date to 1969. I recently acquired a nicely refinished Longines 30L in 18kt rose gold. I'm hoping to add a 30mm Omega and another Longines 30L/12.68Z to my collection. I really love the sub-seconds dials of many of those mid-century watches.
Currently I serve in the Navy as well overseas in the East Asia area of operations. Long stints at sea are great for saving up money for a nice shiny object whenever I get some time ashore
