A post Omega museum delight

You knew . . .
. . . this was coming. [photo credits: Dr No, 2022] Images taken with a Zeiss macro lens a few years ago. And yes: if I could, I would. ;-) ...
Art, given the choice would you pick this one or an older automatic?

Let me know when you're ready . . .

Perfect...I will 'beat you' a few times in front of some rubes...

. . . for muscle. Wouldn't want to get my thumbs broken. ...
