New Member- ready to buy!

New member here! I have been obsessed with watches for quite some time and just sold my business today. So it's time to retire (for now) and celebrate with a watch. As this is my first luxury watch purchase I don't know where to start. I have been lurking the classifieds and see some great deals. Here is how I lean so far:

Panerai 111, 177
Omega Speedmaster Pro
Heuer Monaco
Submariner and DSSD
Eberhard Tazio Novalari
Hanhart WWII models

I've built several watches and own several less expensive watches. My favorite I own right now is a Laco B Uhr with type B dial.

Well, glad to be here. I have 4 hours to buy on this great day!

Nothing actually. I never could decide on one watch.
