·Dear Forum Friend!
This is going to be my post nr 1000!
So it gotta be something to remember?
![Facepalm #2 ::facepalm2:: ::facepalm2::](https://omegaforums.net/styles/omegaforums/facepalm.gif)
But first I must just say/write that this Forum is amazing!
So many people who happily answers question after question and contributes with wonderful stories and adventures!
And often with an open mind and sometimes with ”tongue in cheek”!
A big round of applause to all of you.
Ok - enough with the emotional stuff now, and back to the Head-Lines!
Some of you might have followed my posts regarding going to London and meeting Simon Freese?
Here is a short recap:
I went to London in April this year with my family for a vacation,
and also to visit Simon Freese and drop off three Speedmasters that where in need for service.
I went back to London in Juli for the pick up of the Speedys,
and I had with me two more Speedys for Simon to work on.
Here are links to the posts that I did:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/a-swedes-journey-to-simon-freese-part-two-the-homecoming.161628/
And later in the summer, I had the opportunity to buy a lovely Seamaster from a Dear Forumfriend,
and he shipped the watch directly to Simon for a service.
Simon kept me updated on the progress and after a few months,
I got an e-mail from Simon that the watches where soon going to be ready!
So time for me to make my plans (again...) for London...
I could only be away for a day, so it was an early flight to London and a late flight home again.
Everything worked out as planned, and I had a lovely time again with Simon.
And of course - SuperHappy with my watches!
Here are lots of pictures, with some comments.
I will try to take some more pictures of the watches, and post these in the future!
Enjoy!
Here is the gang in Juli saying Hi and Goodbye.
Breakfast for Champs!
A paus before meeting Simon!!
