New Member & My Story...(20 pictures)Hello everyone,
I just joined this forum and wanted to introduce myself as well as tell my watch story (what got me interested in watches). I'm also including pictures of my Omega's. So, here goes...
When I was 19 years old, I got a stainless steel Rolex DateJust from my Uncle as a Christmas present. It had a white dial with very fine roman numerals (I almost never see this dial, as most have fat/thick roman numerals). He had a Presidential, and explained to me what a Rolex was and why he got me one for Christmas - - - his father, when my uncle was 18, got him a stainless steel watch with a white dial (a Hamilton I believe), and so he did the same to me. He didn't have kids, so I was his nephew and "sorta son"...
He also gave me another present...a fake Rolex he got in Mexico, so I could tell the difference (gold tone). Anyway, I didn't at the time know anything about watches, but I grew to cherish that Rolex watch for sentimental reasons. I literally never, ever took that watch off.
Fast forward several years, then in my late twenties, I had to sell that watch to survive. It was the hardest thing I ever did, and to this day, I miss that watch for numerous reasons.
So, for years, I never wore a watch, because nothing else was the same. I think on two occasions, I bought a Fossil or a Seiko, but wound up returning it within days, as it just didn't feel or look right.
Fast forward to last November (almost 20 years from the beginning of the story)...I walk into a Sam's Club and something catches my eye. A stainless steel Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra with a white face with blue markers and hands. I said "That's my watch"...meaning, a watch similar to my old Rolex in appearance and quality. Don't worry, I didn't buy it, but it set the wheels in motion.
I started doing research on Omega and Rolex, and I couldn't believe how much Rolex's prices had increased, and I really wasn't sure I wanted to carry around all the "baggage" associated with wearing a Rolex again. So, I decided to get that Omega...research, research, and more research brought me to getting two Omegas as you'll see in this post:
Seamaster Planet Ocean & Speedmaster Broad Arrow
I'd like to thank this forum for assisting greatly in that research!
Now, after all of those years without a watch, at times feeling naked, I am now very very happy with my two high quality watches. To me, it's nice wearing a high quality watch sort of in a stealth way. People don't say "Oh a Rolex", etc...(which is fine by the way for some people, but not me).
Anyway, I'm very happy with my watches, and again, wish to thank this forum for the wealth of knowledge it contains. Hopefully, I can contribute in some small way (I am not an expert by any means).
I hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
I just learned something else new...wipe your watches down before taking closeups...hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
