Hello from a Noob in London

Hi All

Thanks for the warm welcome on registering.

Well for years I have been collecting Gens, but what with other past times, money has not always been available to get the watch that I wanted. So you save and then find that something else is in the queue in front of a new watch when you have finally saved enough.

Lucky to have a Omega Speedmaster Professional (NASA Cert), Omega Speedmaster (Yellow face), Garrard one one two (Solid gold), Longines Charlston, Baume & Mercier Acer Inox, Panerai Luminor Marina, Maurice Lacroix Rectangulaire, Ebel Ryder Cup 1993, plus a few Diesels, Police, Guess etc.

However due to this forum, I have already ordered two Bell & Ross (should that be Bell & Rossi?) The monster 46mm BR01 and a BR02.

Not much of a fan of Rolex, but thinking about a Railmaster from Jos, I quite fancy it on a Nato strap or maybe the Seamaster GMT from WBK.

What do you think, or should I save my pennies and go for the Graham Chronofighter??

Thanks Guys and Girls for such a friendly and informative forum...... Think I'm hooked............. This could get expensive.

Sorry pics done in a bit of a hurry, ....No who am I trying to fool. Great watches, Good camera, C**p user. Can you believe that I even had the Speedmaster serviced at the Omega shop on Bond Street in London last summer. Guess what is my beater (think that is what you call it).

Once again sorry for the quality.

Welcome. You will find yourself spending lots of time here. I can't stop reading and looking at beautiful watches. Get in on the raffle for the great straps that are being given away. You need 100 geekbux, so 10 geekbux to you...again great to have new people here.

Thanks all

What a friendly bunch you are.

Thinking about the Steve McQueen from UK Watches, good price and next day delivery. What a service.

Any opinions?

Also the Black Omega GMT from Andrew, maybe I'll put that one on a NATO and not the Railmaster. Really fancy a NATO strap, but what watch would look the best?

Thanks again, great comunity
