路Good morning
as some of you know, I have an unhealthy passion for Omega 30T2 (30T2SCRg, 30T2Rg, 262, 281, etc). After years of collecting, I also wrote a short article which according to many is pleasant to read and informative:
http://squelettewatches.com/chronometres-30mm/
Now I have just received what I consider the new Bible of this area. It is written by Erich Lexer (Mac_omega here and on various other watch forums), who is simply (apart from a friend) the one person that I truly respect as an all-round Omega Chronometre expert. More than Bienne, more than anyone else.
The book is called "Omega 30mm Chronometer", and is huge both physically and by its contents.
Obviously I was familiar with many topics, but for example I only now have learnt of the existence of certain other chronometric references, of the exquisite details of versions for specific markets (even of the "FabSuisse" ones for the French market - which I thought I knew) , and many other small things of enormous interest for the enthusiast but also the merchant or the expert. You will find unexpected observations, and I suspect that every time you read new ones will pop up for our attention.
In short, I spent (and will pass) the next weekends with this book, and enjoy any moment of it.
Ciao
Franco
PS: Just to clarify, I have no personal interest - I paid in whole for the book and I intend to consume it with the power of my eyes!
