Guy, please tell me that if you win, you'll make an exception to your one in, one out rule... Surely that must apply only to purchases? :)
I'll certainly be making the exception, just need to persuade my darling wife to see the merit.

Congratulations on the milestone, 5000 posts in 2 years is going some. Your vintage sub is a thing of beauty and I look forward to seeing what you add in the future.

I am also putting down #80 for James (james80), I believe he will be away from the forum a while, but he likes Vostoks too.

Serlo wrote:Om, we both joined this forum about two years ago, so both of us were newbies here. Whilst I haven't even hit the 1500 mark (I probably won't make it until next year), you have reached your milestone. Not only that, your generous gesture makes it special, indeed.

I really have enjoyed your watch journey so far and right now, it seems as if you have found what you're looking for. Well, there might have been one or two watches that had to be sold, but I truly believe that all the German, Swiss, Japanese etc. watches were necessary to get the ones you have got now. Of course, I am looking forward to seeing future evolutions (I guess the fittest watch that is likely to survive is the Rolex) of your collection. The watches we go for are very, very different kind of watches (Oh God, the Tuna...), but I value your thoughts.

You are, indeed, a very important member of the forum. Without you there wouldn't be that many watches to dream about. I am looking forward to reading the next 5000 posts.
Thanks very much Serlo. I agree with what you wrote. I do miss having a German watch now. The Germans I had were not good from a resale/flipper point of view, but they were the ones I enjoyed the most. And maybe subconsciously they made me look for vintage inspired styling (Sinn 103, Stowa) leading to the Tudor, Smiths and ultimately the Rolex. I am rooting to get a Sinn chronograph again in the future probably an EZM13 or my old 103 acrylic model, lets see. I am waiting to see what Sinn and Tudor present at Basel.

Also I think I will move more gradually towards the watches you like with the coming years and my change in lifestyle as well as maturity in taste. Its just that until now, I haven't really needed any remotely dressy watches and that is a style which is very popular in higher end watches where the focus is on the movement and the dial (not so much on specs and case design), also they are typically more reserved, and the type you like.

#74 for me please Om!

And congratulations on 5000.......
Om and I joined at around the same time, and I now have less than half Om's post tally..... however, if you consider that I own only 3 watches and have never flipped, while Om is some kind of flip-meister, it becomes clear that all i do on the forum is witter nonsense on non-watch-related topics!! :lol:

onwards Om!

5000 posts in 2 years is an achievement and the giveaway is a great gesture. I'll take #5 please although the watch will almost certainly go to a deserving family member if I'm lucky enough to win :)

Here's to the next 5000 .......
I am not a collector of watches. I used to be able to say that and know I was telling the truth.
