you found the right place, zac........

this is a very friendly place with vast knowledge. in melbourne you have access to good omega parts via marcus from watchco and a very good military watchmaker in phil gore. and a few other good watchmakers for vintage as well. i´m in coffs harbour; half way between sydney and brisbane. feel free to contact me any time for help, if needed. i hope to organize an vintage watch meeting later in the year for exchanging news, show and swap watches and make friends in australia. there will be a few rolex collectors as well and maybe 1-2 vintage watchmakers. there are many watchcollectors in australia, but no coordination. in fact we should have a watchfair here as well. maybe sydney because it´s central, but any other ideas very welcome ! in europe they have a watchfair somewhere every weekend.......; we can have one or two per year ? kind regards . achim

I always enjoy your posts. It would appear we are in similar territory with our taste. I love the applied numerals on that Seamaster 600. That is very nice. My flightmaster doesn't get much time on the mesh since the SM200 arrived but seeing your there re...
