I enjoy it very much with various perspectives and angles to a watch article.
Very entertaining and I learn many new things about Speedmaster too.

Look forward to your Part 2!

Omega's own Speedmaster book as well as Kesaharu Imai's "Time Capsule", I enjoyed your article very much. It's full of interesting details and anecdotes. Thank you for this wonderful read! Looking forward to part II. Cheers, Valentin

Jack, thanks very much . . .

. . . but this is most definitely what I do not need right now. You see I had this watch, and I sold this watch, and I'm really quite happy without it, and besides I have enough watches anyway, and now you're going to get me all worked up again. Continue ... 

Interesting review style, Jack. I do remember ...

. . . those were the days when men were men, et cetera and you probably know the ins and outs more than most. Glad it met with your approval! Jack

Jack, you are a wordsmith sans pareil . . .

The Speedmaster is a legend and has earned its stripes making history. Part One is a great read and so I'm looking forward to Part Two. Also your article on the IWC Caliber 5001 in Feb 2005 is excellent, well researched and written. Cheers, LG

Thank you very much!
