·Hello all;
I grew up with a portrait of the Apollo 11 crew on my bedroom wall and with my father wearing a gold Omega Seanaster Deville he purchased in 1964. He gave me his watch two years ago, which I cherish and wore on special occasions. After he passed away in September I've been wearing it daily. But I wanted to have another Omega to connect to dad on more casual or rugged days. As of this week I'm a happy wearer of an Apollo XI 30th anniversary Speedmaster Professional. I'm enjoying two Omegas with history and decided to join this omega forum that I've read and enjoyed.

·Hey Everyone!
I'm Ian, 37 from Pennsylvania. I joined up to the forum this last week because I've been in search of a 145.022 Speedmaster and I wanted to get some information on the reference. In additional to timekeepers I am also into CrossFit, Outdoorsy Stuff, Skiing, Music, and Cars.
I almost purchased a Speedmaster through Donkii, but I just found one local and I will be purchasing it today! Can't wait to share some wrist shots.
I've been into watches for the last few years and I've been through some great watches (Tudor Black Bay Heritage - my daily wear) and some so-so purchases (David Yurman Thoroughbred and a Raymond Weil Freelancer). Looking forward to following along with you guys and the Speedmaster community.
BLNR - not mine yet, but will be someday.

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.Greetings all!
First post and a quick introduction. I am now up to 2 Omegas, and a variety of other watches in my collection. The first watch I fell in love with was the Rolex Orange hand Explorer 2 aka the Steve McQueen. When Rolex re-released an updated version a few years ago I ran out to try it out, as originals are way out of my price range. At the same time I tried on my First PO Chrono and fell in love the 222.30.38.50.01.002 and it would soon be mine. The brand new at the time 2 subdial newer version with the "better" movement and sapphire case back was not as attractive too me and sat too high on my wrist.
Last week I picked up my second Omega a Speedmaster Date 323.32.40.40.04.001 Panda. I have mixed feelings about it, but I think I will do a review about it pretty soon and I will most likely keep it.
Otherwise I tend to wear a SKX 009 to knock around, and an Orient Bambino Grey Dial v2 when I have the need to dress it up a bit.

·Hello all!
I'm Lee, and I have a watch addiction. It started a year ago when I sold my startup and needed a hobby. Since then I've acquired a few very interesting pieces (Enicar Sherpa Graph - All black) and discovered this forum today when researching my latest purchase, a Longine nautilus skin diver. I'll post pictures of both shortly.
My daily wearer is a Seamaster Pro 300M, Brosnan Bond. Arguably the best Bond watch and the 3rd best Bond actor.
I live in rural Canada, where the winter tries to kill me and I yearn for the day that I can spend my days on a beach in Cuba, Rum Diary style, with a Seamaster on my wrist and sand under my feet.
I also created a watch value tracking tool that keeps me entertained.
I'm pretty stoked to be here, seems I've found my people!

·Hi everybody, I'm new here so I'd better introduce myself first, I'm Kevin, 29, Belgian and a longtime watch enthusiast but only got into it more seriously as from last year. My daily watch is a '05 speedy but for the rest my main interest are 60s chronographs and vintage pieces from Omega, Heuer and Rolex. I have only gathered a small collection up to now but I try to wear my vintage watches on a regular basis. For living, I'm an airforce helicopter pilot and enjoy travelling around whenever I have the time 😀 Some pics of my humble collection :
Rolex Explorer 5504
First watch on the moon - first watch on Everest (well, not really 😜)
Most recent arrival, Heuer Carrera issued to the Belgian Airforce in 1970
Daily speedy @ work
On my wishlist are many thing but mostly looking at a Rolex GMT 1675 with gilt dial and an 60s Heuer Autavia with screw back case.

·I guess that was sorta rude, I was trying not to plug my own app in my first post like some casual, watchbox.io is the tool.
Haha, USD so close enough.

·Interesting. How does the programme track values?
For example an all original Speedmaster Pro with box and papers is worth far more than a scratched Speedmaster Pro on an aftermarket nato and having the system assign that value would not be accurate. But if you see a Speedmaster that matches yours sell on eBay, you can log that value observation and url.
One day I'll make it so it suggests a few and you can pick and choose, however if you have an idea on how I could make it better I'm all ears!
