So, the Captain and yours truly spoke over the phone . . .
. . . earlier today. Eventually, the conversation turned to Omega.
"Have you seen the Sedna Speedy Pro, Captain?"
"Not in person yet," said he, "but the local boutique will be getting one in soon. I'm most interested."
"In the States", said I, "we have a way of expressing our admiration for an especially attractive woman: 'built like a brick ____house.'
"Oh, you mean like the Commodores song?"
The Captain obviously knew precisely what I meant.
I continued: "Well, the Sedna's built like a brick house from what I can tell online. I've gotta to see one in the metal."
After exchanging farewells, I called the local Omega boutique. Cut to the chase: they were getting their first Sedna in today. I cancelled plans for dinner with the family and drove to Beverly Hills.
First, the preliminaries: third generation sapphire Pro . . .
. . . and hesalite.
They're like the old Miller Lite commercials: "Everything you've always wanted in a beer . . .
. . . and less." Meaning, everything we've always wanted in a Speedmaster, with nothing added. Pure. Both compelling, hesalite more so.
Then Yanni, a boutique manager, brought out the main event: Sedna.
It was like the scene in 10.
Instant unrequited love. Not lust, love.
Now, I've just got to figure out how to make her mine. Never had a lift this heavy . . . so it might not happen. But . . .
. . . I'm working on it.

This will be the project . . .
. . . to end all projects, Nicolas. How does it possibly get any better than this?
Thanks, Dirk! There's a good shot it will happen . . .
. . . and sooner rather than later.
Very little processing - almost straight off . . .
. . . the camera. A natural beauty, Sedna is . . .
isn't she lovely? isn't she wonderful?
yes - she is with it's applied indices and at least the applied Omega-logo! regards Stephan
Wish you luck in this quest Art!
I always liked the Speedy and find the latest generation a great one as well. The Sedna is definitely a very attractive iteration that will be standing as a venerable manual chrono among all chronos. All the best, Alex
The funny thing is, I'm not one to go ga-ga . . .
. . . over precious metal in general, and value is always a prime consideration. Yet I don't feel compelled to acquire the standard steel hesalite version, much as I admire it. Interestingly enough, the Canopus Pro . . . . . . wasn't nearly as evocative. ...
It has to be the Sedna over the Canopus. Love the Sedna gilt dial.. that gold text over black won me over 😍
Looking forward to seeing it on your wrist!
Wish you get one soon, Art
By the way, The Delfonics come to mind: “La La La means I love you” or “Didn’t I (it) blow your mind this time”. Take your pick 😉
Sedna blew my mind for sure! . . .
. . . let's go with that Delfonics classic ;-) . . .
Art, without question ...
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out She's a brick house That lady's stacked and that's a fact Ain't holding nothing back !
. . . and here is the answer . . .
. . . to our question of the hour yesterday: We were both wrong! ...
We’re all rooting for you, Art! I saw a YouTube vid on the Sedna gold..
My mouth was half open watching the cam move across the dial. The gold text on black did it for me. I’d choose it over the Canopus gold!
Perhaps you'll enlist in Sedna's army, too. The AVS . . .
. . . ( A ll V olunteer S edna) Regiment is recruiting at Omega boutiques now. ...
Now we have to make it . . .
. . . a community watch. It'll only take four more - or five, if you agree with The Captain it takes an even half dozen to qualify. As far as I'm concerned, five is the magic number.
A 'community watch' is one owned by a critical number of participants . . .
. . . on the forums. One of the earliest was the MIH, another the Seiko Discus Burger. Of course, the PuristSPro St Gallens and Zenith EP were by definition community watches. The Moonshine, for example, is a current example of a community watch. Maybe Se...
Yeah, that video didn't really tell the story, did it? . . .
. . . I should've just used this pic . . . . . . instead. ...
Make it happen, Art!
After cancelling dinner to go get these great photos to share, you really deserve it!
Right after taking those pics I went straight to . . .
. . . The Rainbow Bar and Grill for dinner, Michael. And my table was right next to Lemmy's statue. ...
Super cool. Fortunate to have seen him in concert several times.
Keep us posted on the new Omega my Friend!
Sedna would stand out in a crowd . . .
. . . of attractive watches, in my humble opinion. (I'm already referring to her in the first person. Chances are good!)
The difference between love for a watch and a woman . . .
. . . comes down to the difference between ownership and being owned. I've never been owned. But I'm down with ownership.
RG plus Black dial has always been a stunning combination....
Just ask Mr PD on his Datograph. I’m also having weak knees if I see one. I hope your lovely dream will come true. His Hers ...
