Hello TZ-UK!

I've "lurked" here for quite a while! Back when I lived in the UK, I would waste hours fawning and pining over the amazing watches everyone here posts. Well, now I can join in ;)

I live in Tokyo now, as a scientist, and finally treated myself to a decent timepiece with some hard-earned money.

As with many other TZ-UK lurkers, I'd been reading through the forum, trying to find the ideal 'first' [mechanical, luxury] watch for me.

I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it; a 1999 Omega Speedmaster Professional 3572.50 (hesalite front, sapphire display back). The box is a little worn, but all the paperwork and guarantee are there. The watch itself is pristine. I've attached a few photos, now I've managed to prise it from my wrist.
