hey very good eye kolosstt indeed that is the prime tower ....

 

just out of the office and I enjoy taking photos on that spot! well I had the watch for almost two weeks now and in my opinion is really a fantastic watch. This said I am not a über speedmaster collector (I only have another speedmaster professional and the rose gold first man in space) so I might not be a big expert but for an everyday watch it is really great.
The watch is very light and not pretentious. It is special but only the owner and few people will know the background of the watch. I love the white dial/black combination that makes it very legible. I am in love with the strap that is very cool and keeps the watch with a very informal attitude. It goes very well with a suit too so I don't think that is too sporty or it isn't for me!
The caseback in silver and enamel is another very important detail yet not showing off in the watch. For the price (the official one) there is a lot of value in an historical chronograph with a very modern look. I also love the tachymeter scale/bezel in ceramic. I fits pretty well in my collection as I don't have so many chronographs and is different to everything else I have at the moment. The watch has a very cool factor and I am really happy that I got one. I had to wait several months and I had pretty much given up....perhaps this make it even more special to me!

Snoopy summer landing - Omega Speedmaster apollo 13 silver snoopy award

Dear friends, a few days ago I received a very unexpected call from the local omega boutique. I was hunting for this watch since October last year but it was impossible to get. All pieces were reserved for other customers. It might be one of the only watc...  

I like the whimsical nature of this watch a lot!

Congratulations ...

after few months later. Most place I ask said "No" since it was a release in Basel early 2015. I think Omega HQ may have some hidden in their back pocket ) The Boutique or AD may need to justify how important you are to them....I don't know, but I'm very ... 

yes well I think is always about the..

relationship you have with a boutique. I heard that on this module they don't want to sell the last pieces to non-clients because they might end up sold for double or so in various websites. I really appreciated their kindness.

Congrats and welcome to the club !

this Snoopy model looks way better in person than pictures. When I had a chance to handle it in person early this year at the omega boutique, I was totally impressed with the overall workmanship, new materials used and attention to details. A definate kee... 

Big congrats Christian!

... we might run into each other while taking wristshots of our watches. Then I'll certainly ask you: "What could you do in 14 seconds?" I'm very much attracted by this Snoopy in white. A Speedmaster is still on my wishlist, but maybe one with tritium dia...
