Hey_Joe
路Hello fellow watch nuts/enthusiasts/collectors! My name is Chris and I live near Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. I'm relatively new to the hobby and currently only own one Omega, a 45.5mm LMPO Ti. I know you need more than just one in a collection so today I'm traveling to the local AD and I expect to add another. Since I was such a good boy this past year I'm thinking a new Speedmaster 9300 of some sort or a new sapphire 1863 Moonwatch will do the trick. I'll let you guys know what I come home with!
Happy New Year and all the best in 2015.
Chris.

Hey_Joe
路The visit went really well! I think I'm going to make this an annual event, a new watch every Dec 31! Next one, a Rolex Explorer II!

I hope you had somebody to help you carry it home 馃槈
Welcome to the forum, next NYE won't come quick enough for you I bet.
PS: is there a bigger watch box than this one?

Hey_Joe
路Yes, the box is surprisingly heavy! I'm really impressed by the quality, presentation, and contents of the box. A really nice upgrade compared to the standard white and red boxes.

路Hello everyone!
The name is Magnus, from Edinburgh, Scotland. Been in the game for a couple of years now but mainly collecting Christopher Wards - which were my first watch brand love. I am also a cufflink enthusiast which often depletes my watch funds 馃檨
I've got a couple of vintage pieces - my late great great Grandfather's Certina (that had to be completely overhauled with a new dial when it came my way and a vintage Omega. I got the Omega as one of my first purchases on eBay but I am fairly certain it is a redial. In any event, it is too small for my wrists so it will make its way to SWMBO once I get it serviced. I think it was over-wound (oops).
I recently came into a Corum Admirals Cup which I am very pleased with. Much bigger that I am used to but it is a lovely piece though I appreciate it will not be for everyone.
Anyway, I joined up here to get a bit of watch variety and to get a bit more information about what will hopefully be my next purchase.
I am getting married this year and was hoping to get my hands on a birth year (1982) Speedmaster for the event. It will likely cost 1/3 of what her dress will cost but i'll get a bit more use out of it 馃榾.
So, that's me - hope to get better acquainted with you all.
Cheers

路路Steve @ 惟FSounds like you're off to a good start Magnus. Goodness knows we can always use another Scotsman around here. 馃檮
I think you'll be an Omega/Zenith man in no time.
Once you and the new missus get settled in you'll need to get yourself a proper beagle.

Geo!
路Good evening folks, I'm from Scotland and have been seriously interested in watches and watch repairing for about three years.
I have a fair size collection of both mechanical and quartz watches, my particular favourites being vintage mechanical Omegas.
I came across this site while researching information for a Constellation 561 that I am in the process of servicing for a friend.
Having had a good look around this forum, I like what I see and I'm sure to get involved.
