Aug 20, 2019,11:57 AM
. . . to his fortieth Stones concert . . .
[on stage in Santa Clara, Aug 18th]
. . . two days from now at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena?
It will be an Omega from my collection. That's your only clue.
Whoever guesses first and supplies the correct reason will win a prize.

Very funny, very funny! . . .

. . . . And I don't even have a Medicus. As Melvyn was fond of saying: "Wrong again!"
Whereās DruidPadj when you need him?
By: NickO : August 20th, 2019-15:07
My money says DruidPadj will get this right. After all, heās a Druid and the Druids were around when The Stones formed. In fact, I heard they named themselves after Stonehenge. āNuff said.
LOL! [nt]

Speedmaster Mk II is my guess...
By: AlexSunrise : August 20th, 2019-13:26
I'm sure you will have an awesome time, Art! Reason being that is was made in about the same time as when you first saw the Stones. Cheers, Alex
Ah, you're getting the hang of it, Alex! . . .
By: Dr No : August 20th, 2019-13:37
. . . there is a Mk II in my collection . . . . . . and it was issued during the lauded Stones Tour of '69 . . . Omega Man? . . . but unfortunately, no, it's not going to be the Omega on my wrist Thursday. (My first Stones concert was July '78, the second...
The Trilogy RailMaster?
By: Clueless_Collector : August 20th, 2019-13:44
Thatās one of your all time favorites in recent years.
No, not the Rail . . .
By: Dr No : August 20th, 2019-14:53
. . . although it would be a logical choice as the concert is outdoors, and it's the only watch I have . . . . . . that glows. ...
I think that ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 20th, 2019-14:38
your watch will have a black dial.
Actually, no . . .
By: Dr No : August 20th, 2019-14:44
. . . and that tidbit eliminates several possibilities.
Sacrilege! . . .
By: Dr No : August 20th, 2019-17:27
. . . no re-dials here ;-) . . .
Close, Erich! . . .
By: Dr No : August 21st, 2019-06:02
. . . five 30T2rg and one 30T2SCrg in my collection, and any would be special enough for the occasion. Especially Tiffany. You're in the right neighborhood, but not at the right address, though . . .
āNear and dear to my heartā brings me to
By: stromer : August 21st, 2019-08:43
the Seamaster DeLuxe, the āfreemasonāsā watch. The one with the special engraving on the back that you once told the story about here and in the OnTime podcast. Best, Martin
Then I am out of ideas.
By: stromer : August 21st, 2019-16:48
You even ruled out your ca. 43 ref 2364 30T2RG before. This is becoming too special for the Mr āNo clue about vintage OMEGAā that I am Enjoy the show, dear Art! I know how much it means to you. Best, Martin
Enjoy the show, great tour this year
By: Wojo : August 21st, 2019-12:36
I saw them last month in Chicago, great show. A business partner surprised me with seats in the corporate box. They played Monkey Man which I havenāt seen in 25+ years. BTW, I wore my Omega Dynamic from 1970 ...
They've been playing an instrumental, . . .
By: Dr No : August 21st, 2019-13:23
. . . 2120 South Michigan Avenue , . . . Hundreds of tracks, precisely one instrumental . . . early in the first set, which they've never done before. (At least, not in my four decades of experience.) How cool is that?
It is not easy for me to give the correct answer but ...
By: Subexplorer : August 21st, 2019-13:33
... IĀ“m sure youĀ“ll have a Great Time with the Stones Show my dear Art!! And with any nice vintage Omega from your fine collection on your wrist to boot. May be an early pretty Seamaster from the times the model name didnĀ“t appear on their dials? Enjoy th...
It'll be a bittersweet experience, Abel . . .
By: Dr No : August 21st, 2019-13:45
. . . because this has to be their last tour. They can't keep this up much longer. Charlie was born in '41. Mick and Keith, June and December 1943 respectively. And if you think that's a clue, you're right. ;-)
Winner! . . .
By: Dr No : August 21st, 2019-19:28
. . . on account of cleverness. The answer, which I thought should've been obvious, is Omega's ref UK 2292 , ca '43 , delivered to Britain . . . . . . the same year as these two. ;-) ...
Do the incantations involve . . .
By: Dr No : August 23rd, 2019-16:37
. . . Maui Zowie? There was magic last night, although not in abundance. The Stones usually play between 20 and 22 numbers, with two reserved for Keith in the middle of the show. For decades they usually performed a dozen crowd-pleasers with half a dozen ...
I'd give up my RAF Ī© . . .
By: Dr No : August 27th, 2019-15:26
. . . to hear them play Star Star . Of course, they'd have to throw in a front-row seat. ;-)
Well played! . . .
By: Dr No : August 25th, 2019-20:14
. . . even if it is a Zenith ;-) . . .
