    Hi, I'm IvanOmega60.
    And... I don't know what is this site about, but I really like the site name.
    I'm Spanish but I don't want you to talk spanish with me, but I apologize if I have bad grammar or some mistakes.
    I like this place, I hope I can learn more although I'm busy with studies.

    Hi Ivan. Welcome to the forum. I won't speak Spanish to you as I can't speak Spanish.

    Ivan, I think the blog of the forum tells you everything you need to know about what the site is about. http://blog.omegaforums.net/. Welcome.

    Nice Entry!

    I see a revisit to Omega (Speedy perhaps?) in your future! ::stirthepot::


    There is a Cubeistan over in another forum I frequent... Does " Sun Comes Up - John Legend " ring a bell?::confused2::

    Hello, name is Doug, maybe you've seen me on the WUS forum.

    I own some Balls, a marital Chopard, some WUS forum pieces (my Tourby in the avatar, for instance), and quite a few micro-brand divers... I don't own an Omega...... yet!

    I happened onto this site by chasing a Dblitzer ad for a beautiful vintage Constellation Arrowhead I saw on WatchRecon... I tend to like simple dials with few numerals, no-date. I do love the latest Aqua Terras, Planet Oceans, SeaMasters. I guess some good news is that my wrist is about 6.5 inches, so I tend to be OK with 37mm+ wide or larger cases, so maybe a vintage is in my future!

    Yes, I'm sure you are!

    I didn't think posting on the OmegaForums would be without that risk :eek: !

    Thanks for the 'welcome' at any rate...:D

    Peering into the hesalite ball I can see that a vintage watch looms large in your life, just cross my palm with silver and we'll see what OF can arrange . . . . welcome Doug, hold on to your sanity, it's worth its weight in very heavy and expensive things here

    Hi guys, my name is George and I'm slowly discovering the vintage charm of watches. I'm been into watches for a couple of years now and I'm slowly but surely getting tired of the same ETA under a different dial.
    Cheers!

    Thank you! I am prepared, the only thing is that I don't know if my account is prepared for the same thing (not to mention the wife :)).
