Recovering Rolex Flipper

Hi there,

I have gone 18 months without a flip.

My thanks goes to Paul McKenna, the renowned british hypnotherapist. The bugger charged me £10,000 for a consultation and the lack of funds caused my watch collection to cease immediately.

Joking aside, I thought I'd sign in as after all this time I am itching for a change to my current modest collection of just two watches. I have previosly owned the t/t blue sub, t/t turnograph white face, ss/plat y/master as well as some Zenith, Vintage Speedy, 50s Vach. Const & IWC dress watches.

I will be posting some pics of most wanteds and will be grateful of you fellas' comments.

Here's a couple of unprofessional pics of my current pair. The Omega is the s/s bracelet type but I use an alligator strap for its use as my daily watch.

Welcome from the shadows. I've seen your username below, but never a post. Nice to have you 'come out'.

Enjoy the madhoose! But mind the sheep, fellow Welshman Padi gets territorial over his Welsh mutton.

Let me add my welcome to TRF, Welshy. Glad you finally came out of the closet to join the fun at our merry madhouse. Your fellow welshman is not the only one possessive about his sheep. Our resident BKL (Bald Kiwi Loon) is positively bonkers about his.

Keep posting and enjoy.

BTW, nice collection you've got there.
