·If someone had asked me yesterday I'd have guessed Patek or JLC had made the first, had no idea it was Omega.
Yep, for a wristwatch. Breguet made the first tourbillon in the early 1800's.

·Had a feeling you'd be all over that one. Few people know that Omega were the first to build a tourbillon movement intentioned for a wristwatch. Furthermore, this ain't your run of the mill 60/90sec variety, this tourbillon takes 7 and half minutes to make a full rotation. From the back...

I'm into complications new and old . As you can see below this is what happens when friends and family don't intervene .

·Hi guys! Nice to become a part of this great new forum / site. I am a long time Omega owner and fanatic and have cycled through a number of them...am now down to 3 but of course if anyone is selling a Speedy at 2008 prices I would gladly buy it off you and get back up to owning four! 😀 (please remind me why the heck I sold mine in the first place?) Have my eye on a new AT but have to admit the current prices are a bit tough to handle. Looking forward to joining in the conversation and fun. Below are a few of my current and past Omegas...my Dad is currently wearing my 2254.50 and I have a feeling it will be a long time before I get it back😉 Have a great night!

It went like this.
I had acquired an old boat as a retirement project and was doing an online search for Holman-Moody marine engines.
This is when I discovered my very first forum. I was so excited. I had to make up a 'name' on the spot.
As you can surmise, the boat is a Nova. The twin 351s are where the noise comes from.
It's still a work in progress.
So I'm Noisy in every forum. Funny how a name will stick. 'Course it means that I can never sell the boat.

No, you can never sell the boat because they never sell lol. In the yard we've got a '07 custom 14 foot bullet that's finished, a 23 foot solid wood speedboat that's meant to take a Harley V-Twin and unfinished, and the 14 foot wooden buck that the fibreglass bullet was made from. They're part of the furniture now lol

·Hi all! My name is John. I already introduced myself yesterday in this thread but I'll do a quick version here as well. I live in northern Maryland and I've been collecting for about 3 years now. Currently obsessed with tuning fork watches but I appreciate just about all watches... I've only been on here for about a day now and already I get a feeling that this forum has a great group of people. I'll be in and out regularly so I'll see you guys...and gals?... around 😀
