New member, thought I'd say hi.
Hello TRF Omega forum,I posted a intro over in the New Members forum but thought I'd drop in here and say hi as I am primarily a fan of vintage (and modern) Omega.Here is my humble collection with a few bits of Omega merch (old and new) I've acquired over the years:Here is my most recent addition a 1971 Seamaster 200m pilot line which has just returned from Omega Bienne.It came complete with box and papers, a lovely find. My flightmaster (also from 1971) is the jewel in my collection and gets plently of wear.Anyway it seems a great forum you have here and I look forward to droping in from time to time.Regards,Zac

Blue Dial Milguass
