. . . for any proposition, this would be it! Roger acquires a modern Speedy . . . kinda like Enzo getting a Civic. I've been weighing a vintage Speedy vs the current crop for a while now*. This slants the equation in favor of a new one. 🤔 * (in addition t... 

I can certainly appreciate the relationship between the co-ax Speed and Smith, but what does Enzo have in common with a Civic?

. . . the most, famous chefs around. Where did he dine? At the Rainbow Bar and Grill, when the kitchen was run by Miguel Murillo. There can be no higher praise than the choice an expert acknowledged in his own field makes. If Ferrari drove a Honda, that w...  

So there is no actual connection (like there is with Smith, the co-axel escapement, and it being in the new Speedy), just that if there was it would be high praise. My confusion came from thinking that there was a connection between Ferrari and the Civic ... 

The new Speedmaster, especially the hesalite one, is very much a vintage watch you can wear every day without being too concerned.

having just purchased a 1861 a couple of years ago couldn't justify the new version so i went with the new nylon strap on the 1861 and absolutely love it!! -D- ...

Did anyone hear or know why omega is discontinuing the Moonwatch, or is this fake news? Also has anyone had the Chrono button fall out? I have a 3861 and the chrono button just popped out. It has been in service for three months. It gets light daily use, ... 

But I would wager my left eye that Omega is not discontinuing the Moonwatch.
