Rookie to this forum

Hey folks,

I would like to introduce myself to the members of the form. Collecting for going on 13 years now, with the current mix being a white face Daytona, Sea-dweller, 16610LV (on the way), Omega Broad Arrow, Sinn 866 (its big…. Black… and bad), and I venture heresy here, but I just love my Fortis Cosmonauts in yellow gold with the Lemania 5100. Just really like the way the chronograph minute pivots from the center allowing you to see elapsed time at a glance. Those subdials are getting harder to see.

I limit my collection to five automatics as my winder holds four, and I have the self-discipline to only wear one watch at a time. So in the endeavor I look forward to posting on the for sale side of Rolex Forums. I understand to sell you need to have 16 proper posts. This is number two as I had to thank DavidSW for a smooth transaction on the Daytona.

So does this constitute a proper post? Two down fourteen to go, eh?

PS: GMT IIc is gorgeous!

PSS: The 16610LV on the way has an black OEM bezel along with the standard green. Any guesses on what is being moved out of the collection.

PSS: Pardon the pic, quick shot.

George

Chris,

Yes, I'm moving the Seadweller out of the collection. Have a tracking number on my 16610LV. Either tomorrow or Thursday.
