"long timers"/ "regulars" - Introduce yourself !


Hi guys,

I'm sure we have plenty of newcomers/lurkers here who would like to know a bit about us.

Here's you chance.

This is me...



"Cheer's y'all"

I'm 45 ( hence the 62 in my "name" ), married with an 8 y.o. son . I'm British & have lived in Germany for 16 years now. My wife & son are German.

I started looking for Info on the Internet on my MK II speedy about 5 years ago. Found this forum & Chucks website & it was all downhill from there.

I now have "some" ( an indeterminate number between 30 & 50 ) Omegas. probably a 45/45/10 split between Chronographs / divers & f300's


Here's a poor & blurred example of some of the speedies

& some of the divers


I really do need to take some newer & better pics !

I became co-moderator of the forum a couple of years ago, along with Keith Downing, who -understandably - due to a house move & job change, has reduced his internet activity to practically zero.

I have a small website ( yes, it could be bigger ! ) that hosts various Omega brochures, manuals, adverts & Catalogues etc => www.Old-Omegas.com

Future "wants" ... actually watchwise there are very few. I have most of the Omegas that I want. Although a black dial GMT seamaster would be nice ..... & a black dialed f300 diver..... & a 1000M .... & a Grey dialed 70's diver..... "ENOUGH !"..... OK. I want more !

I have also promised ( myself & my wife ) that I will never start with "Heuers", although I do sneak a look over at our sister Heuer forum most weeks ( Hi Jeff, Hi Chuck )

So, Regulars, introduce yourselves...
