Hi folks , thought it was a good time to "jump ship" and found you guys and quite a few names i recognise .
I had a wee change of name but i'm sure some of you will know me by my watches and poor photography
Hey Dhruv, how's it going?
Hey Dhruv and bryce, welcome to 惟F. Glad to have you all aboard 馃憤
Thanks for the email regarding the site, Dennis... and because I know you like the pics, I'll leave this rare bird here for you...
I just found this forum yesterday, so I figured it was time to make an introduction since I have made a few posts already. My name is Chris and I'm from North Carolina. I am new to collecting but a lifelong watch lover. I started my WIS adventure back in the 90's with my longing for a Seiko watch, which I obtained on a high school budget. That has progressed to a few more Seiko's, Rolex's and Orients along the way. My favorite brands at the moment are Rolex, Omega, Seiko and a few others. I'm on several other watch forums under the same screen name GoDuke1...of course I love Duke Basketball... being from NC, that is a dirty word around here as most people are UNC fans in these parts LOL.. looking forward to the conversations and knowledge to gain and what little info I can pass along the way.
I'll let Dennis take a crack at that one before I jump in 馃槈
That's a hell of an entrance! The watch was made with a few of the calibers from 1947 designed for chronometer competitions. Apparently about a dozen of these caliber 30l's were made back then, and 7 were found and cased in 1987. A couple sold at Omegamania for big bucks - see pic.
