Speedmaster Pro - 861 - My First Post
Hi All,wanted to finally contribute to TRF. I've been lurking and reading for months now, plus I wouldn't mind some input from other members on a query I have. Query is at the end for those who want to skip the saga. Because prior to pumping the forum for info I thought, given it is holiday season (for some) down here in Sydney Australia as well as elsewhere around the globe, I'd waffle on a bit and relay my story/experiences re: my own speedie pro and how I got here and what I see my next watch purchase being and why. I totally got the bug with the Speedie years ago. Maybe in 2008. I'm 38 now and at the time it simply seemed an unobtainable dream. It seemed like a lot of money in fact for a watch. I was very new to mechanical watches (no idea). One of my main entry points to mechanical watches was the idea of not having to get involved with batteries. I've always liked watches and had digital calculator watches and other slightly fancy things along the way. My Dad bought me

Thoughts on the 5164
Hello guys...I had a chance to play around with a 5164 recently and I really loved the GMT feature of the watch! Then all of a sudden I had this crazy idea... trade up from a 5167 to the 5164...Not sure if that's a good idea as the 5167 is such a beautiful and simple watch!Anyways, what are your thoughts? Any one else had a chance to see the 5164 in the flesh? (5164 photos from internet)

Merry Christmas to me! Panerai 233
After owning a 352 and selling it, I've been wanting a Panerai back in my collection. The 352 was a nice watch and I thought I would like the light weight of the titanium and the bracelet as I was so used to bracelets from my Rolex and other watches in my stable. Long story short the 352 never sung to me and after trying on a 233 it just sat nicer on the wrist and has been calling my name ever sense. So Merry Christmas to me, here is a quick pic when I received it Christmas Eve. Hope everyone had a nice holiday.
