Newbie speedmaster question
Hey guys, so I am pretty green when it comes to Omega watches, but I find myself browsing LunarOyster checking out the vintage Omega Speedmasters these days. I'm not as keen on the modern ones as I find they are elevated immensely with patina on the hands and dial. I've noticed a large gap in time between vintage speedmasters. Perhaps I just haven't come across any, but I haven't seen any moonwatch style speedmasters from the 70s and 80s. Just late 60s and then early 90s onwards. My question is, were they not produced in any capacity during those times?Really enjoying exploring the Omega brand If anyone has any recommendations for Speedmaster models let me know!

Finally the 5167a is mine
Yesterday I became the proud owner of this wonderful watch. I have owned Rolexes over the years and currently have the SD4k and SS Daytona. Both great pieces, but I always found myself looking at the Patek forum and pictures/threads of the 5167a and 5711 in particular and I have always been drawn to the Aquanaut- preferring it due to its tropical strap and more understated, casual/sporty look. I tried one on a year ago at a Patek event and loved it, but didn't get one at that stage as I was concerned about the 'durability' in terms of scratches etc that I thought might be an issue for me as I like my watches as mint as possible (bit OCD). However I have never been able to get the 5167 out of my mind and more recently been feeling the SD and Daytona a bit on the flash side (I went into a shop the other day and the young salesman called out - is that a Rolex your wearing Sir?). Having been to London recently and seeing so many Rolexes, I found myself more attracted to the understated, un

for the Patek lovers, this is a very rare super high end piece ...
First I would like to thank Jacques Degreef otherwise I could not share those pics. It was the first time in my life I saw a Patek 10 days tourbillon. This was already a good feeling. I can't describe how it felt when I was allowed to 'play' with it between 10.00 and 11.30 this morning.Those pics are the best I could do but believe me, this watch gives you shivers.I could always sell my house and buy this watch but I have a strange feeling my girlfriend would not like the idea LOLSo I better stop dreaming. Such a piece will always be out of my league.BUT, if you really like the looks and want something similar (without the 10 days power reserve and ofcourse without the tourbillon) you can always try the 5124.At the fraction of the price you get a very good looking dress watch.

First Rolex Incoming
Hey Guys,You may have read my new member thread and my AD ended up calling me today! I had plans to leave town yesterday, but I'm glad I didn't. My rep called and said a sub no date had just come in this morning and he had set it aside. I came in a few hours later and walked out with it. My AD experience was really great, and I'd recommend anyone looking to buy their first Rolex to go that route. I'm really happy with it and I'm glad I'm finally a Rolex owner. They also had quite a few Daytonas come in as well as 2 Milgauss's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DJ Wimbledon Dial
Happy holidays TRF members,I have been searching for my first Rolex watch that I can wear daily. As a banker and a lawyer, I wanted a dressy yet a casual watch that I can wear without worrying too much about getting scratches. The DJ 41 TT (the Wimbledon ) was what I wanted and purchased it at a great price while I was on a family vacation in Taiwan last week.This watch is very comfortable and I am satisfied with the purchase. My previous daily watch was a Tag Heuer Indy 500 and I still love the watch. It is a tank!!!I am happy to finally joined the TRF club!
