Greetings from a new member, from Chicagoland via Southlake, Texas. Long time mechanical watch fan, about to become a first time Omega watch guy. After 7 mechanicals ranging from an Ebel 1911 BTR (Back to the Roots, with Ebel's first inhouse calibre in decades, the E137) to a mid-1990s vintage Rolex GMT II, looking to add a Speedy Date with 3304 mechanism. Looking forward to being part of the forum.
Thanks, Trev. Still working the purchase. If you have any recommendations as to where to go to buy, would appreciate the guidance.
Hi guys,
another newbie here. My first vintage watch was this 1962 9kt Longines. 19.4 calibre. Case number 25176. Movement number 11437403. It was Supplied to Baume of London on 13/07/1961. I bought this because it was the year I was born.... Sentimental, but you need some excuse right? Now mostly collect Connies and Seamasters.

馃ぉ Love this watch!!! Also year I was born...would it be inappropriate to call dibs on this from the intro tread? Really I'm not trolling...馃槜
I don't think we have a rule, written or unwritten, saying anything about poor manners when dibsing any watch that isn't an heirloom.
I thought our rule was that poor manners were compulsory here!
I know that I already have like 4 million posts but just stumbled upon this thread.
my name is rich and I'm a very immature 40 ^ year old semi-serious watch whore from new york, ny (born and raised and still not kicked out yet).
i look forward to making the aquaintance of many of my fellow watch enthusiasts.
