Letโ€™s pause for very brief moment and raise a cup of tea, or alternative beverage of your choice, to our good friend Art. Looking forward to the next 1,000 posts ! ...  

All hail...

 
 By: MikiJ : January 28th, 2021-14:35
Dr. No and another 29,000 more

29K more? Who do you think I am? . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-15:31
. . . Nicolas?

LOL!

Sort of. He's full Sicilian, I'm just . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 20th, 2021-11:10
. . . a quarter.

Well, it's . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 20th, 2021-11:15
. . . my stomach that's Sicilian.

ROFLMAO!

 
 By: amanico : March 20th, 2021-11:17

. . . and my liver . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 20th, 2021-11:25
. . . is Irish. ๐Ÿฅƒ

True that. Haven't been the same . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 20th, 2021-11:31
. . . since I had to quit. A pint every three weeks is all I'm good for these days - a virtual death sentence for an Irishman. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Very tough, indeed.

 
 By: amanico : March 20th, 2021-11:32

That would be . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-15:42
. . . Nurse Yes.

ROFL!

 
 By: amanico : January 29th, 2021-00:25

Grazie, Fab! . . .

Congratulations on the milestone. M4

As long as the Stones are touring, pool halls are operating, and . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-21:50
. . . there are still Omega chronometers to be found, I'll be here, day and night! Count on it ;-) . . .

Very true, Bill - I miss . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-16:17
. . . the good ol' days. Everything . . . . . . seemed more wholesome then. Anachronistically, Art ...  

Omega

 
 By: Weems@8 : January 28th, 2021-15:12
Art, mister Omega. Master of vintage Omega. No Omega movement that do not inspected and seen by his eyes. Before the speedmaster was on the moon, he knew it was a matter of time the watch shall be the first moonwatch. He knows 007 will later on wear Omega... 

'Mr Omega'? Too formal. My pals call me . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-15:27
. . . 'Railmaster'. ๐ŸŽฑ

I am never playing pool with you for money!

 
 By: mdg : January 28th, 2021-15:57
...once you post shots like that online your hustler days are numbered : )

More of a competitive player than a hustler . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-21:47
. . . but my childhood dream was to be a pool-hall junkie. I actually know a few . . . it's a tough gig, to say the least. ...  

Well done Art. Keep it going !

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : January 28th, 2021-15:37

See you soon . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-16:03
. . . on our Omega forum, Bruce! ฮฉ

Yes to that.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : January 28th, 2021-17:36

Art!

 
 By: Mostel : January 28th, 2021-15:54
As I recently noted, your contribution here is so personal, and what it is all about. When I see your comments, I know I am always reading sincerity and candor.

Thanks, Mostel. We really do try to keep our community engaged . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-16:14
. . . and appreciate participation from collegial members like yourself. Horological knowledge can be found in many communities, but the affability of ours is practically unique. Art

You knew . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-16:32
. . . this was coming.

My first post was in November '04, Captain . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-16:26
. . . and I was a lurker for a few years before then. Being part of this community is deeply meaningful . . . all on account of the truly wonderful folks that congregate here. Art

Phenomenal...

 
 By: S F : January 28th, 2021-16:33
From the Omega maestro...with no less intense zeal for pool and music. Thanks dear Dr. No ๐Ÿป

There was a long stretch when beer was on that list of passions . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 28th, 2021-16:36
. . . but Dr No's doctor put an end to that. ๐Ÿ˜• Now that the Stones are nearing the end of their run, at least there's still pool and Omegas to keep me busy!

When Nicolas started as a moderator, he was already in front of me by four thousand posts. Fourteen years later . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 29th, 2021-10:56
. . . he's up 222K. Let me know when you figure out how he does it ;-) . . .

Big Congrats dear Art on your 29k milestone!!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 28th, 2021-16:48
Thank you so much for your generous sharing of your deep knowledge about Omega and watches, your fine sense of humor and I specially thank you for your friendship. Keep more K posts coming my dear friend! A big Hug for you! Abel

A highlight as a member of this community . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 29th, 2021-11:01
. . . was our shared Flightmaster project. Makes us blood brothers, yes? ๐Ÿ™‚ ...  

Ahh yes! Blood Brothers forever!!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 29th, 2021-15:20
It wishes to say Congrats!! to you! Cheers my frien! Appreciate your friendship so much!! Abel ...  

Fenomenal!

Thank you Art!๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›

Wow, congratulations, and may many more come!

Chances are 13 out of 14 that . . .

Looking forward to that happening too, Art

 
 By: rnaden : January 29th, 2021-17:58
As soon as all borders reopen and we donโ€™t have to have to do those ridiculous 14 day quarantines..... Hopefully with the vaccines this year, things can go close to normal again soon.

Wow

 
 By: kevster : January 29th, 2021-06:55
Congratulations Art! Keep them coming. How many years now on this site? Kev

Almost twenty, Kev - first three as a lurker, then three as a member, and . . .

 By: Chromatic Fugue : January 30th, 2021-18:17
I can't think of a better reason to break my non-posting streak. Well done, Art; you're the best!

Too kind, CF, way too kind . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 30th, 2021-18:34
. . . but appreciated nonetheless. See you this summer? Warmest, Art

Well, that depends on Fauci and the drug companies

. . . the Dulux. Christmas gift from Dad, 1968. We were in Hong Kong, and I remember our visit to a small shop that sold all sorts of items including watches. Still have it, but in need of servicing . . . ...  

Well, that was the only watch I owned at the time . . .

 
 By: Dr No : February 3rd, 2021-12:02
