Hello from Vienna VA

Hey all -- this is my first post. New member here. Don't have a lot of posts on any watch forums but I am a long time lurker on TZ, WN and now RF.

I like this forum the most -- very knowledgeable.

My watch history:

1. Got my first timepiece in in 2000 with my first bonus check from Latham & Watkins. Omega Seamaster Titanium with Blue Dial 2231.80. Still own it and will probably pass it on to my kids. Love it. It's my daily wearer.

2. In 2006 I had a captured my first grail -- Omega PO with Orange Bezel on Rubber. 2909.50.91 Love it -- but I save it as my Friday or impress somebody watch. Got it on TZ sales corner, and I love it.

3. In 2010, captured my new, then grail -- a Bell & Ross BR03-92 Phantom. Except as very special Phantom. I was working for Infiniti Global Sales Operations -- and got one of the Infiniti special run of Phantoms. Only 100 were ever made -- making them ultra rare. Looks just like this one Linky

4. Last month I picked up a Prometheus Jellyfish -- and I really like it. Inexpensive, but keeps great time, and feels and looks very high quality. Love it as second daily.

Now I am ready for something new. I have a kid on the way, and am I wanting to pick up the new Rolex Exp II (White) 216570. I am also lusting for a Milgaus Green and a 16610LV (Green Sub).

Anyway -- Hello -- looking forward to some great posts.

We don't have one planned currently but I'm sure something could be put together within a few weeks if anyone is interested
