Hello from Sydney Australia
Hi all,
Have been reading the forums for a while now and finally thought I would join. Have been collecting watches for only a couple of years now but have now got an obsession!! Started vintage but that is now changing to a variety contemporary and vintage. So far I have 8 watches, my favourites being, an 18ct Omega (1945-47), Omega seamaster professional 300m, and my 1974 Rolex Datejust 1603. Have a few others such as a Tudor two tone prince oysterdate, Longines 5 star Admiral, Cartier Tank, early 80's Heuer diver, and a vintage Girard Perregaux. Always very cautious about where i buy from and refuse to risk eBay. Would love to hear suggestions of where to buy as my next watch on my wish list is gonna be a pricier investment. Looking at either the Rolex GMT Master-II Pepsi or a Rolex Submariner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Welcome to TRF - hard choice on GMT Pepsi vs. Sub...but I'd suggest GMT Pepsi first.
The other thing is easier - check the trusted sellers here on TRF.
