·Hello everyone!
I'm not quite new to OF anymore (joined in 2019) but I am quite new to modern Omega. I am more of a vintage guy but I thought I would share this.
I live in an apartment building that has two driveways on each side of the building that lead down to our parking lot. Beyond that parking lot is an easement which has been a community garden of sorts for our building. The other day my neighbor happened to text me saying she found a watch in the garden and was sure it was mine. I was quite surprised to find this.
To my knowledge it is an Aqua Terra from around 2014. It is quite filthy and reeks of cologne making me wonder if someone dropped it or whether it was possibly stolen and then discarded. Who knows. We have asked neighbors on our street if anyone had a watch lost or stolen but no one has come forward. My neighbor, knowing how much I enjoy watches has basically given it to me. I will still of course wait for a good while to see if anyone comes forward but if no one does I guess I just officially got into modern. The watch however isn't running, has a marker floating loose inside, the bezel is stuck, and the rotor appears to be completely loose as well.
Thought I would share the story as I never expected in my wildest dreams find a watch let alone an Omega in my back garden. Insights are welcome 😀
