路Well, yes the weather was dreadful and yes the London Underground was packed with non smiling people, but it didn't matter. After traveling 120 miles, from my Dorset village, I was home! Back in the city where I was born and raised.
Having said that, I did keep my Dad's old Omega Speedmaster Professional 105.012-65 tucked up my sleeve, out of sight.
After spending a few hours, in Denmark St, looking at vintage American geetars, I made my way along Oxford St, to Watches of Switzerland, before visiting two Omega stores, located in that part of central London.
After Braving the, "air lock" style, double security doors, I was shown to a lovely comfy chair, where I was introduced to some rather lovely Omega Speedmasters.
Funny enough when I lifted my sleeve to compare them to my 60 year old Speedy, both people that served me, said they had never actually seen an old 321, Speedmaster.
I got so caught up in the moment that, instead of returning to the Roland store to buy an effects pedal for my bass guitars, I decided to splash out my rent money on a 拢170 Omega NATO strap.
I've been a bit worried about how secure the old 1171/633, 1970's service bracelet is and I thought, with a NATO strap, I've got 2 chances if a spring bar pops out of the lug.
Yeah... 拢170 for a similar strap to my 拢15 blue nylon strap, did seem a bit of a luxury, but then, I think my Dad's old 105.012-65 deserves a real omega NATO strap. What do you think forum?
(I'll get the photos uploaded, as soon as I work out why they wont load) 馃檮
Am I right in thinking that photos can't be loaded directly from my telephone?
