Watch Fiend Alert!
« on: March 11, 2011, 09:11:06 AM »
Hi. I'm new to the Forums but have been collecting watches since I was 22 when I got bitten by the Rolex bug. I bought my first rolex after seeing it on a wrist of one of my professors in the States. Now, 9 years later, I'm a certified watch nut and Watch Idiot Savant (WIS). :)

My first watch - Rolex Datejust 16200 (Y-series)


More shots of that first love.




My 2nd and 3rd watch purchases were just 3 years ago. I took a long hiatus after my first watch purchase as I was travelling a lot (which took out a chunk of my disposable income) And at that time, I was bitten by the vintage bug. So, I went out and got myself a Omega Seamaster Bumper movement Cal. 355 with the rare date window at 6.





And the Zenith cal. 2532 (manual winding)



Story to be continued....
Rolex datejust 16200
Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN
Omega Aqua Terra Co-Axial 8500
Omega seamaster co-axial GMT 2535.80
Omega speedmaster sapphire sandwich 3573.50
Breitling Avenger II GMT
Longines Legend Diver Date
Zenith 2532
Omega seamaster bumper 355
Tissot T-Touch expert
Ball engineer master ii diver
Ball trainmaster pulsemeter
Tag heuer aqua racer automatic

Looks like the Omega needs some cleaning on the movt.

Welcome to Malaysia Watch Forum,
I really like your datejust. IMHO the 16200 is one of the best looking datejust model.
