Nice collection. The C9 AM GT LE is a stand out for me. Would like to add one to my collection at some point.

The birth year Omega is the star of the collection for me, but I’m biased because of the year.

That’s a wonderful collection, Ferg!

Excellent as always, Ferg. I think your collection is enhanced by the Omegas and the vintage Rolex. :thumbup:

A simply stunning collection to be proud of, Ferg! My favorite CWs in your are the C9 Chronograph Big Blue & the C65 Super Compressor Deep Blue. All of the watches are nice & provide unique contributions to your collection. Like Steve, I think your growing number of Omegas & the wonderfully vintage Rolex are quite impressive & fill it out. Well done!

There are a handful of threads that I think ought to be bundled for new members as an introduction to the forum because they really are a “must read.” The story of Ferg’s (@MiniMpi) Rolex is one of them. The gas filled Kingfisher conversion is another! Hmm, what else? Perhaps this should be a separate post.
