Omega

I like it even more now that the next generation has came out.

Happy Holidays!

René

But when I upload them, some of them flip.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I can see clearly the (invisible) lines of force that rotate your pictures









It’s explained clearly here:

Pretty close, indeed!!!

Also very close to a volcano…

Now I know the reason’s why!!!

Hmmmmm… let me read the native language… so… it seems that the thermites and the bats are in part guilty! 😉

Very nice painting by the way!

Best.

The indigenous name Huichol or close to that.







The artist

He lives in Cuernavaca, but he is definitely Huichol!

Huicholes are masters in bead woodwork. They also make beautiful masks and wooden animals covered in beads.

They project their worldview in their beautiful art.

Will you visit soon, Mike?

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas dear Miguel!!!

René

Our friend who owns so many of Oscar’s pieces doesn’t come back to the States anymore, so we have lost touch.



Here’s one of the Huichol animals heading for the guacamole …

If they are beautiful!!!

It looks like if the jaguar is going to take a big bite of the guacamole!

Merry Christmas dear Miguel!

Another of the features that I love of the original Planet Ocean.

Thanks for pointing it!

I can see you also wear the bracelet with the half link.

Best.

René

I didn't remember how/when I got that, so I searched my email and found a 2007 email exchange with the watchmaker who repairs my quartz Omegas. This was back when people could easily order parts from Omega, and I used to ask him to get me extra gaskets, plastic date discs, and other parts that often needed replacement in those quartz watches. I wrote this to him: "Could you see if you can get one (1) stainless steel half-link (not full link) + pin for the Omega Planet Ocean ref, no. 2201.50.00, bracelet no. 1580/952?" Apparently he got it for me!

Now it gets harder to get original spare parts.

Someday I would like to get the original Milanese mesh bracelet that also came with this model.

Enjoy it in the best health and Merry Christmas!

René

Looking good! 👌🏻 In my mind, absolutely blows away the new release 

Some of us prefer the original version for several reasons like case’s shape, height of the watch, how it looks on the wrist. What are the characteristics you like more?

Best regards and Merry Christmas!

René

Omega sports watches were thinner with less gimmicks. Everything you need , nothing you don’t. I love the open 6 and 9 printed in white on the dial, along with the simple layout, text and bezel. Personally I like this case shape far more than the 2025 release. Only reason I let go of mine was because it wore too large on my wrist . But I’m on the hunt for a blue 39.5 mm PO, and this may happen in the next month or so! All the best my friend, and Merry Christmas to you!

Several or the characteristics that I also like very much: open 6 and 9, thinness, nothing that wasn’t needed. I also like the matt dial, the black date disk, the case shape, the domed crystal and those beautiful twisted lugs. And I also like very much the 39mm version, which went off much before 37-39 divers became trendy again. I hope you can get one soon, and enjoy it very much as I enjoy mine. Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, and I wish you all the very best tu you. Have a merry merry Christmas!

Season’s Greetings,
Jan

I see you’re enjoying your with a nice rubber strap.

It looks so good on you!

Thanks for sharing.

René

I concur with you.

When I first saw it, I fell immediately in love with it.

Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!

René

I must say the bigger brother looks very good on you!

In fact when I went to shop mine, I spent easily two hours trying both just to make sure I was choosing the best size for me. My mind told me: go bigger, but at the end my heart went with the smaller one.

It looks perfect on your wrist!

Merry Christmas!

René

But I really had a lot of thoughts (and looks) for Jayne (before I chose Sophia)!!!

Best, my dear Art.
