Title: Watch Fiend Alert!
Post by: Friedrice 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....

I like the Zenith alot!
Have some shoots of the movt?

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.
