Hello Everyone!

[Billiards]

I'm new to the forum but not new to watches. I've been encouraged to say "HI!" to everyone and post a photo of my everyday wearer (actually, I have 2). 

 

The first is an 1968 Omega Constellation that I built completely custom out of NOS parts.

The second is a 1974 Rolex 1601 with a custom dial and end-links.

 

Hope you guys/gals like them!

Welcome to the forums Billiard,  the two watches you've posted would be somewhere near the top of my must have list.   :thumbsu:

Nice watches, just as Roger said, top on the wish list! Welcome to the forum....but I already said that in another post! :)

[Billiards]

Thanks for the warm welcome and the compliments!

 

The Omega took me almost a year to put together (I wanted it as close to perfection as I could get).

You are welcome Billiards,

 

By the way are you hailing from Lousiana?

[Billiards]

Sure am! How'd you guess?

[bobm12]

Baton Rouge map...I'm from Fla.

[Billiards]

I didn't think anyone could make out that the photos were taken on a BR map! Good eye!

 

What part of FL?

[bobm12]

Miami, you know, big alligators...just like in your area probably. I had a friend in BR but he passed away some years ago...never got to visit though!

[Billiards]

I used to live in BR. I'm about 60 miles north of New Orleans now. Can't seem to get away from this area. It's like a virus that you just can't shake!

I believe it, everyone is in love with your beautiful part of the country! For a minute, after the hurricanes, I was really worried but I guess it is all past now. Some say there are lots of work opportunities there too. Nice!

Welcome to the forum Biliards, I can see that you are very much on the ball with this game! Lovely pair of watches you have there.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of interesting posts from members at all levels of horology.

Real quality watches, I am jealous.

Welcome Bill, there is no shortage of helpful information here, especially with such a talented pro among us. Nice watches.
