10. Omega Forum will be bought by Craig Newmark, the founder of Craigslist. @dsio and @Trev will open a small surf shop on Bondi Beach that only rents out dive watches.

9. Rocky Racoon and Maharishi Yogi will lock @Walrus in the garage and force him to live in a box.

8. Forum members will hold the third mid-Atlantic GTG and will need to rent out Oriole Park at Camden Yards. There will be a riot when @JwRosenthal goodie bags run out.

7. @STANDY will make a crocodile swallow a pocket watch and train it to follow him in his boat when he fishes.

6. Seamaster Only book will finally be published. It will be in 26 volumes, each 450 pages. It will cost 11,000 CHF and sell out in 15 minutes.

5. @SpeedyPhill will post a selfie from the ISS.

4. Someone will figure out what that weird logo is.

3. Omega will make a Snoopy Moonswatch. When asked why they would do such a thing, they will say “Because.”

2. The Forum will create a “Bulova Watches” folder. The first 200 pages will be complaints that it’s below the “Seiko Watches” Section.

1. Mrs. @Spacefruit will finally learn that her husband collects watches.

Any predictions?

@JwRosenthal will pretend to be supportive of my efforts to wrestle the title of "Package Deal King" from him, while secretly snickering to himself knowing I'm willing to lose my shirt to do so.

We will finally see that mysterious GMT that @janice&fred is restoring.

That thing got sold recently, but I suspect to win this contest I'm gonna have to roll out the Daytonas.

It's very rare and valuable but you can't see it because he put together the first GMT with a ghost bezel, dial, case and movement.

Rolex will partner with Omega to produce a hybrid “Perpetual Speedmaster” manual winder that never needs winding.

Rolex will follow the Ford Motor Company example, eliminate dealerships, and sell direct!

Tesla will buy Cartier, introducing the “Cartier MUSK” line of watches. Free watch with every car sold.

A new Covid subvariant known as Omega.1.A.OCD will emerge and become the dominant strain. Its primary symptoms will include engaging in hours long computer sessions late at night, insistance on attending flea markets and garage sales, hiding packages from spouses and uncontrollable urges to engage others and become embroiled in conversations over minutiae.

We hop in a time machine, open the door to our Accutron Space shuttle. The year is 3600. It is discovered that quartz watches can be upgraded and used as advanced communication and computer systems to stay off grid from the Capatilists United regime. It is seen that this forum has shifted to a quartz absolutist member forum. Vintage quartz watches are seen as a rarity. Fetching prices most gorgans, humanoids, and rats can't afford. The Quartz Renaissance was quick and unrelenting around 2110 when the Capitalists United regime was unveiled; revealing the leaders of our new united world. At this point omegaforums.net is run off of local servers for those that remain on earth. Advanced VPN technology is imperative and cryptic discretion is advised to survive...

Those suckers will never get us!
