    Now that's what I call wishful thinking with a very heavy bias :p

    Look at the original snoopy and alaska project though. Sleepers, both. Who knows - even the Z-33 may be desireable one day...!

    I thought that nasa hadn't qualified it (they saw no point) but ESA did. The Skywalker anyway, doesn't it have an engraving to that effect on the caseback?

    As much as I love the Royal Oak and it's sheer beauty I will have to agree with you. It seems like they make special editions just because.

    It is mark of half a century. I bet you money Omega will come up with a (or few) LE/SE to commemorate that occasion. Afterall, there is one for every year & why stop when the cow is still producing milk.

    Splash is Okay.... it's 50 meters water resistant.. You can't take shower or swim in water or bourbon but splash of anything is just okay IMHO.

    If the people on the flight wore Invictas, then no... :D

    (You can replace Invicta with any other brand and the answer will still be no)...::stirthepot::

    Can we settle on low energy splash?

    Well, been waiting since 1997 (first 1861 caliber) to find something historically suitable among new Speedmaster chronographs ::yawn::

    If Omega bought the forum how the hell would you be able to tell n00bs not to send their watches to them?

    If omega bought this forum we would have to start another.
    Most of us would be banned within a month. Vis.WUS.

    Pretty easy, tell them to send them but not approve dial/hand swaps from tritium!

    I've had plenty of watches serviced very well by the Seattle SC. Eric, Mac and Debra are all amazing.
