    Hi from a newbie

    Morning all,

    I joined a few days ago so thought I would say hi and kick off my first post with a couple of pics of my watches.

    Have only recently started collecting, I've always had a bit of a thing for watches but only recently have I been able to afford to start acquiring the ones I want.

    I am a photographer based in Coventry and have recently started doing some work for a local jewellers, which luckily for me (not so much my wallet) allows me to get up close to some very nice time pieces.


    This old Sekonda that my grandad left me is what got my interest peaked in the first place

    Sekonda 25 Jewels Automatic


    This is the first vintage watch I bought for myself, I really like Tissot's especialy the Seastar Seven

    Tissot Seastar Seven, Stainless steel, Automatic


    Once I had the the stainless steel I had to treat myself to the 9ct as well

    Tissot Seastar Seven, 9ct yellow gold, Hand winding


    I always wanted to start a Omega collection and this was my first purchase, I have drooled over this watch for about 5 years and finaly got round to buying myself one last month

    Omega Seamaster Automatic Blue Face


    As soon as I got the Seamaster I was offered a Constellation which I just couldnt turn down

    Omega Constellation, Quartz, Stainless Steel


    This is my latest purchase, not my usual style but thought it was pretty cool so picked it up, dont know an awful lot about it if anyone can fill me ? Its a 14ct yellow gold Cuivre, key winding wrist watch

    Cheers seanST150 & Marios

    I love the Visodate my first proper purchase so has a soft spot in my collection. Do you prefer the Stainless steel or the 9ct gold?

    I recently sold 2 Omega, but still have 3, great watches.
    The PO is a great watch, I have the larger 2500 model
    Although my Pam00118 is getting most wrist time just now.

    Welcome from a fellow newbie, unfortunately I don't have a comparable collection. The Tissot Seastar Seven is my favourite.

    Thanks everyone, I'm going to have a look at a planet ocean today, however I may be swayed by a dunhill dunhillion that I have eye on. Will update with pics if I get anything

    Hello and welcome to a great forum where you will learn a lot.

    I have a Tissot Seastar Seven of the same vintage but it is 9ct. gold. Never serviced (I'm ashamed to say) and still very accurate

    I've also got an Omega Constellation and I wouldn't part with either of them.

    You have a very nice collection there.

    Enjoy your watch collection. Wear all your pieces as often as you can and with pride.

    Trevor

    The stainless steel seastar severn is broken im afraid to say, it was my everyday wear up untill it stopped working. It was going to go in to be serviced and repaired however it stopped almost to the minuet of when me and my other half met so the plan it to frame it along side some nice photos instead
