    When I joined OF a little over two years ago, I was a normal well-adjusted person with perhaps a bit of a thing for Universal Geneve. 27 months later, I've become a jargon-spewing zombie who has succumbed to the subliminal must-have-a-speedmaster messages that are clearly embedded in the site. Jan is working on a nice Shell Horween as we speak...

    Behold a 1968 145-022 transitional that just arrived from New York...

    You're in love with a transitional, you're not normal anymore Tim. Normal is dull anyways.
    Kudos!

    Good choice. The lure of the Speedmaster is strong. You succumbed to the best possible pressure.

    Oh I do like a nice transitional.
    Lovely lume, why do so many transitionals have such stunning lemony lume?
