Hi everybody

I hail from Turkey, hi everybody. I was read only member for some time, and i decided that it is time for me introduce myself.

I am 36 years old, having a geniune intrest in watchs for at least 5 to 6 years. I owned several watchs, eventough i would not classify myself as a serial flipper, it is a rare instancr that i hold the same watch for more than 6 months. There is an one exemption, which is omega seamaster 300m quartz, which was my wedding gift, and no way i would or could let it go.

As mentioned i used un maxi marine diver, 2 different jaeger le coultre master control watchs, 2 different bvlgari diagono divers, a frederic constant, panerai pam 25, audenar piguet royal oak offshore diver, and rolex gmt ii master coke bezel. Right now, on addition to omega, i own rolex submariner no date and rolex daytona 116520 with white gold dial.

Here are some pics for rolexes.




I have to make a confession. Few years ago, i am very vocal about my opinion that i would newer own a rolex. Later, this opinion is completely reversed as most probably i would own only rolex watchs. :)

In addition to watchs, i love scuba diving, and diving for more that 12 years around the globe, and mostly my sub or seamaster is accompanying me. I have some nicr underwater pics, which i can share in case anybody is interested.

In addition to diving i have a modest collection of single malt scoth whiskies. These things come and go, but my favorites are lagavulin 16 years old, glenmorangie quanta ruban and macallan whiskey makers edition. Glenlivet 18 years old is a close 4 th choice.
