Ciao Alberto! welcome to TRF where the watch collectors are men and the sheep are scared!!! (J/K as we also have female members but, the above sounded funny)

It's great to have you aboard Alberto, if you could can you post some pictures of your watches?

Thanks for your warm welcome

Hi again and thanks for your warm welcome. I hope my english will be good enough in order to chat with you.
I've just attached a Rolex ref.1680 serial 57xxxxx, it has a 9315 bracelet on board, it is in my collection and at the moment it's fitting the wrist of my wife.
I have few Rolex pieces. I like Omega as well, I have a couple of interesting vintage speedmaster, Seamaster 300 etc.
Other pieces as Movado M90, Universal Tri-compax, etc. Will be a pleasure to post some picture next.
Anyway I'm always interested to add new pieces on my collection, trading is welcome too.
Thanks
Alberto

Yeah! My favorite diver!! That's a beauty.
Vintage Speedmaster? I love those too!! What a rock solid tough watch.
Mine is circa 1980 and is among the most accurate pieces I own.
Do post a photo of that beauty when you get time!!
