The Eagle has landed.....
Sorry for the incorrect NASA reference but just could not help it. The other day my AD was having a tent sale and I could not make it over there as I had previous obligations and he is 3 hours away. So I asked that he send some pictures of the good deals that he had to let me peruse. I had no intention of buying anything as I was convinced I was wanting a blue Pelagos next but had to see if anything was too good to pass up. How does it go???? Curiosity killed the cat. Well then I am the kitty. I spot this beauty buried in the middle of the picture amongst several Tudor and Rolex pieces along with a couple Nomos and Others. I have never had an Omega so I quickly educated myself and decided that this was too cool of a story and deal to pass up. I guess every collection needs a Speedy, right?? At least that is what I told my wife. So here she is. The new(er) re-release of the pre-moon speedy with an 1861 manual wind. I love the 39.5mm case size and the no crown guards. Got my AD to thro

Omegas holding value
Hi all. Newbie here. Getting abit addicted. I landed here to learn about and buy a rolex but I absolutely love the 42 mm planet ocean.My question is do they hold their value well? Is a 2-8 yr old model a good choice from an investment standpoint?Thanks

Fed up
I (still, but for how long?) have a good job, a good family, a good life and good health. I can indulge in some of the finer things in life. I'm a TRF bastid . What could one ask for more?Well..... To be the proprietor of a small caf�� in Ericeira, Portugal. Or to live in Malang, Indonesia. As our daughter is about to 'leave the nest', Anne and myself are contemplating such a move ever more and ever more seriously. Our country is changing rapidly and I must say, not to the good. To put it bluntly, we are fed up with it.We feel stangled by all the rules, suffocated by the ever rising taxes and lack of compasion. Tax free day starts here on the 27th of July. Insane! Although it probably will remain a pipe dream, I can't get it out of my head. So, are there any other esteemed TRF members that sometimes have the same thoughts?

Should I trade my 213?
Bought it recently but for some reason it's just not pulling me in.I've been looking for something similar to a 372/390372 is a bit big at 47mm whereas the 390 at 44mm is just perfect since that's the same size as the 213.I've been thinking about the BLNR as well. That's the only Rolex that i'm interested in.
