Thought I would Share Some Pics

Well as some of you know, I just picked up a beauty from Tony, A GMT IIc TT

Man...it is pretty! And I mentioned on another thread...this thing is keeping time to the second, I mean it...after 2 days...to the freaking second! Is that normal??

Anyway...here are some pics I shot of it, my Omega Broad Arrow GMT 3581.50.00 and a couple others that have family meaning to me (one of Dads first and Grandpa's stable PW)

Hope you enjoy! Happy T-Day!!

Hope you enjoy (qualitycould be better, but I took these from my EVO 4G)

That is my favorite Rolex ever made, and that is one of my favorite Omegas.

You have excellent taste!

This my Grandfathers "Anderson-Standard Time" PW. The watch is a Hamilton, 17j cira 1903. Still runs (slow) great! The Elgin was my Fathers, given to him by my Mom on their wedding...I also have the matching women's elgin that he bought her (all three sentimental value to me)



BTW...Thanks Guys, your all awesome! This place has the nicest group of forum people i have ever seen...pure passion for our watches!

That's a very nice collection. I'm particularly fond of the Elgin. My family is from Elgin, Illinois originally where they used to make those watches. I have my Grandfather's Elgin watch. He worked at a factory and having that watch was a big deal to him. It is a nice keepsake. Anyway, nice to see an Elgin get some face time.
