Another new guy

[Goodwatch]

Thought I’d introduce myself. Obviously new to this forum but not to the ‘Texas Timex’ world (grin). Was one of the first members of TURF but dropped out after it came into new ownership. But this itch never really goes away. I won’t bore you with all the things that happened since then but just want to contribute again to this forum.

I work as an IT Coordinator for a branch of a Dutch multinational oil and chemical storage company. My main interest, besides Rolex and other mechanical watches, is vintage US flight jackets and related articles. But I collect replica’s, not originals. I’m 45 now, and have a wife and daughter.

My 16610 (one of the first with SEL) was stolen about 2 months ago, along with a number of other watches. I’m now in the marked for a new watch but I’m still spinning over the prices. But we all know this, and there’s nothing to do about it.

Now the blasphemy: I really do like the new Omega Super Ocean a lot. Chronometer too and a nice depth rating. Reminds one of the earlier Subs. But I think it will become either a SS Sub or a SD.

That’s it for now, hope I didn’t bore you already,

Frans.
