Hi from Thailand and NZ

[Gixer]

Hi, I've Been watching Mark's videos for a while and intend taking his course.  I play around with my collection and have done the odd repair, but looking forward to learning more.  I've been a watch fan all my life, but in the last 10 years have become a serious collector.  I live in Thailand and have my collection with me, other than some I bought online in the past year that  are in NZ - I'll be collecting them when i go for a vacation in March.  Current collection consists of:

Omega Seamaster PO 600 Co-Axialo

 Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial

 Sinn U1

 Sinn 867 TESTAF UTC

Visconti Abysys 1000M

 Seiko Monster SDKX779

Seiko 6309-729A (bought new in 1982 and will never part with it, been through 3 marriages, 3 kids, 3 careers, 2 companies, 3 car crashes, multiple motorbike track "offs", has only had the hands replaced twice, 3 crystals, 2 winders, 4 bezels inserts, 1 face, untold bracelets/straps, one mainspring, and one new case, and once spent a week at the bottom of a shallow lake)

Seiko 6159-7001 300M First professional diver (awaiting servicing and a spruce up)

Seiko 6217-8001 (62Mas) 150M (awaiting an overhaul, but in good condition)

Seiko SKX007 as a daily beater - virtually unbreakable

Croton Nivada Grenchen Chronograph (unfortunately only a Landeron 248 mov't)

Glycine Airman SST-12 GMT - great for travelling with 3 timezones

A pretty eclectic collection, but I've always focused towards the divers, and Seiko in particular. I've owned a few Rolex's but call me crazy, I always flip them as I just can't fall in love with them like I can with Omega, Seiko, and even Sinn.

Looking forward to becoming more proficient in doing my own servicing after taking Mark's course.

Cheers

Welcome, and great collection!

I'd happily wear any of them, and I agree with you about Rolex. Never pushed my buttons enough to make one worthwhile.
