Congrats, very nice one. I guess one must frequently drop by the boutique and ask.

 By: christianch : March 16th, 2022-17:54
A few days ago I visited the Omega boutique just to try something but I ended up finding a watch that I have seen already at Basel World 2017 (the year just before Omega announced that it will no longer be part of it, and the rest is history) the OMEGA Sp...  

Congratulations Christian ! 🍾🥂…

wear it in great health!

Huge congrats!!! I remembered this 72 to 272 did piss off a lot of people but always someone happy, someone not...glad you are the happy side.

Quite surprised this is still available...are they hiding this in their safe?

thank you! well spotted..this was in fact in their boutique safe

and not displayed or made available to all clients (or so I was told!). It was an order for a client that didn't take delivery. Even with 272 is still pretty rare I think, the gorgeous moonshine gold you have was 1014 right ? I regret not getting that one... 

A super interesting watch.

Yes, perhaps not for our “Omega purists” but for sure a gorgeous, surprising piece. I like the color combination as well as its presence. Not too much but still a watch not to be overseen. It fits you very well and looks definitely very nice on your wrist... 

thank you Thomas, in fact I was keen on the 50th Anniversary full moonshine but was too much in terms of

flash/wearability so I decided to go with the much less limited but also gorgeous steel one. I think this is not as flashy because of the strap but indeed still has a strong presence.

I don't think that....

there's a Speedmaster I don't like . It's tastefully executed and, unsurprisingly, fits you exceedingly well. Sincere congratulations, and thank you for the high quality pictures! Cheers, Filip

thank you Filip, I passed on the other Apollo 17 several times (with the silver dial)

but perhaps it was destiny to get one in the end. I have to agree that I also like pretty much all speedmasters, glad to be blassed with a good selection of them. May be the Omega Speedmasters will always have a special place on my collection and wrist

The Speedmaster was the first....

high horology wristwatch I had ever purchased, and when you add to that its objective significance in the world of watchmaking, it will always hold a very special place in my heart as well . My favorite version is still the 35th Anniversary Apollo-Soyuz w...

thank you! it has been a few years but didn't forget it :) sometimes fate reserves some surprised

I didn't expect the boutique to have one hidden ...

Wear it in good health

I saw the steel version, but this is really cool and elegant.

There are so many points of departure from typical Professionals . . .

thank you, I agree and I do have the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary too

 
 By: christianch : March 18th, 2022-23:49
A stuning watch now much more sought after. At release it was considered expensive by many collectors but the sedna gold and special titanium case makes it really very special.

Hello dear Christian! Big Congrats on your new Apollo 17 Speedmaster gold. This is a most beautiful timepiece and I feel one of the most underrated models among Apollo Conmmemoratives ...

thank you Abel also for sharing yours! glad I am not alone đź‘Ź

I agree that 272 is still very limited. Even the full gold Moonshine was 1014 and also sold out pretty quickly! Like you I appreciate the combination of blue ceramic, gold and the caseback is truly special. The gold apollo and the moon on the dial are als... 

My big pleasure dear Christian!! I´m also glad we enjoy same watch and I absolutely agree with your comments here about this Speedmaster version.

Regarding photography I´m amazed to know you get these awesome shots with your I Phone!! It confirms once again that in photography is more important the photographer than his equipment! Keep enjoying so much! Best cordial regards, Abel
