++Hello from Germany++Burn modem burn++

Hi guys,

now register since 2 month or so just some words about me.
My name is Sebastian form germany.
I "fell in love" with mechanical watches after a theft in my apartment some years ago, where all my watches (low price) have been stolen (Citizen, Pulsar Seiko.....). After this I only used my mobile phone to get the time and searched for my first mechanical watch ...

After 1 1/2 years of searching and comparing my first mechanical watch became the Omega Speedmaster Date (don't know the reference!)
I still love wearing it!







After this there came a Rolex 16610 (no pic - allready sold)

A 116710 LN (had it about 5 years: tooo perfect for me - sold it)





Then came the "watch of watches" for me:

16600 SD








followed by the classic LV











A long time I was searching for a watch from my year of birth in good condition with box and papers...
Found it:

1680 Maxi Dial from 1978













then came the 216570 BD. Don't wear it often but sometimes I really love it!







After this I fell in love with those old GMTs

1675 MK IV Maxi Dial with B&P from 1978













oh yes, those old GMTs :-)

1675 gilt from 1966:










So that's it!

Best regards

Sebastian
