    New member hoop jump intro - with collection pics

    Another long-time lurker turned member. Here's some rough 'n' ready first macro attempts of my collection to give you an idea of the cut of my jib.

    Hi all. Just joined today as this place was recommended by gingerpaul.

    I'm a little thin on my collection (two pieces), however I'm after a third which is why I'm here.

    I currently own a Tag Heuer 2000 series gifted to me by my parents on my 18th and a G-Shock given to me by my sis and bro-in-law on my 30th.

    I'm currently in the market for a 2nd hand Omega Speedmaster Co-axial (311.30.44.50.01.002), in tip-top condition so I think this is a pretty good place to start my hunt.

    Looking forward to browsing the classifieds in time and looking forward to taking part in the forum.

    Hi badstar - Welcome to the other side. I nice collection and just about all you would ever need. I predict a slide into WISy behaviour and wish you all the best as a contributing party here.

    A sideline welcome too to beanbag too - who is also doomed...... 2+1 is just the begining.

    I was looking at buying that rug in JL last weekend... I would have been even more tempted if your watches had been present on top of it!!

    Lovely collection... and rug!

    Welcome to the fun.

    Cheers

    It's a worrying sign when you're not the first to warn me of the same! Saying that, it's pretty bad being an expat in Gibraltar as the deals on watches here are staggering. No VAT, only 6% duty and with a solid discount, you can get some real bargains.

    It's knowing what to go for which is the real dilema!

    New member hoop jump intro - with collection pics

    Many thanks for the kind and welcoming comments. I definitely feel like I'm at the top of the WIS chute about to slide into a ball pit of horological fun. Promise to keep the rug posts to a minimum, though.

    That is a Seagull 1963 reissue and it's a very nice watch for the money. I think a member here called it refined and that description fits surprisingly well. I find it aesthetically pleasing and believe it has a Swiss Venus-derived movement so it has some WIS credentials too. My better half likes this one the best.

    Believe me, it's a slippery slope from here on in.

    Neely, you have 666 posts and a vampire cat. I'm a little afraid.
