I say Hello from Spain....
Actually, from some Spanish Islands in the Atlantic Sea

Just found this forum, although already a member of several other wath forums. I am in a "in love period", saving every penny to buy my first Rolex, a GMT- Master "pre-ceramic", probably a brand new 16710 or a well priced 16759/16700 or even 1675, but my brain says a modern one will be more "practical" for everyday use. Wish I was in the States, I have seen already very good prices at the Sales Corner, but the risk of customs here is too high...

I also own a Flieger Crono IWC, Hublot Classic, a Tengler Lemania, Omega vintage, and some others like Samurais, Hamilton, a couple of quartz, etc....

Well, that's me, I think you will see me around!

Regards

Carlos

Welcome to TRF, Carlos!

Sounds like you have a very nice and versatile watch collection! Paul ("Mailman") bought a nice Hamilton about two months ago. Very neat looking watch.

You almost got it all right! But to be honest, there will be a ceramic GMT in the parcel, but that will be for a friend, myself I chose the classic Pepsi, it HAD to be that one
