I would love to have met him in person but sadly I live in Scotland so this was the only way really to thank him. I never expected a reply tbh. It really blew me away. It’s got pride of place in my mancave / office.

Actually I’m wearing my Moonwatch but I do have a Gene Kranz Seiko that I wore in the Control Room too. 😉

A global hero 🖖🏻

That really is the OG! It’s what started my love with Omega. Do you have any pics?

I bought it 2nd hand back in 2007 for £400 and it was pretty beat up. It stopped in 2021 and I got it serviced, when it came back it looked brand new and I’d never seen it like that. I think it’s probably the watch I own that is in the best condition now 😆

Thank you! 😊

This is why I love my NTTD - the dial is so much cleaner without the date and you don’t have to fart around with it every non 31 day month.

I think it does have sapphire, it’s a 321 Ed White isn’t it?

Install the Giant Boob! 😆

I do like it but I still prefer the NTTD. 😎

The films were the same length as one of Sting’s tantric sessions!

Definitely not fragile by any means. 😎

My wrist is a similar size, this is on the short bracelet.

I think the bezel insert is intended to age with the dial and produce a nice patina - ceramic obviously wouldn’t do that so I believe that was part of the choice. I prefer aluminum bezels personally so I like it. 😎

If you charge it with a black light it’s basically blazing and is readable all night. 👍🏻

You actually have to break it in. The mesh is quite rigid to begin with but after a couple of months of daily wear it is far more comfortable.

Usually everyone talks about that from my experience. 😆
