My two Rollies often fight amongst themselves over Lady YM, turning themselves BLACK and BLUE all over. Does that count?

How can you live with those watches JJ???
It's hard to tell from that angle, but it looks like "Yammy" is about 1/10th of a second slow

You're right, John...it is the angle. They are BOTH spot-on!!

Great photos! I love the classic Omega watches. I'm especially fond of anything with a "pie plate" dial.

You've got an amazing collection, Mamas. I prefer the ivory one, myself.

Nice pics and nice watches mamas! Ivory is just stunning IMO.
And just outta curiosity, how do you find wearing a watch with a somewhat smaller diameter?

thanks for comments guys.. some nice photos of peoples watches! the diametr is not really an issue with me for my vinateg omegas as my wrist is 6 3/4 inches so 34-38mm which is the size of most of the vintage dress watches looks fine on me.. although someone with a massive wrist may look silly

Mamas,

A couple of absolute beauties for sure! I would have to go with Ebony for sure, however owning both is a nice combination. Keep those vintage Omega pics coming my friend..

Ebony

Those are some great looking watches, Launch Mini. By the way, thanks for inviting me to the site, but I don't feel worthy. My knowledge of watches pales in comparison to that of the folks on this site. I need to thank my friend RR who hooked me onto Panerai. I have the ebony (Luminor Marina Pam104), but no ivory just yet!

Hi Tarek,

Welcome aboard. Nice to have a celebrity amongst us considering the rest of the riff-raff we have here!!

Post as often as you like (or when you're not too busy with your schedule) and show us some pics of your Panerai. Is it too late to convert you to a Rolex nut?

Cheers - JJ

Welcome to TRF, Tarek.

Don't worry, we were all new at this at some point or another, so hang in and you will learn a lot.

Hey Tarek, we were all in your shoes (about watches ) at some point. Some of us, like JJ and Ed are still there, too.

Just hang in there, hope you feel welcome here, and it'll come. Lots of Paneria love to be felt at TRF, along with admiration of just about any other brand (including some funky Mickey Mouse watches).

and BTW, you got shafted by the 'D'. So I at him.

Tarek,
I mentioned before, this is more of just a gathering place for a good group of guys. Most often , the chatter isn't even about watches.
Thanks for dropping by, hope to see you around some more.
BTW, I have the Panerai 104 in my line up also.
