    Asking out of curiosity, as I woke up from a nightmare where someone on these forums caught wind of me not owning an Omega and bad things happened. I used to own a Seamaster but sold it quite some time ago to fund something else...

    Now I feel like I have impostor syndrome. Time to fix this... I suppose. :(.

    Bad things? Was lubrication not involved? Pick up a nice Speedy or Constellation, and these bad dreams will end. My invoice is in the mail...

    You never actually own an Omega. You merely take care of it for the next generation.

    I didn't own an Omega when I first joined this forum but that was 4 1/2 years ago and it has been all downhill since then.

    Sometimes I feel my Omegas own me - always demanding my attention.

    I don't even own one and I get that vibe just from looking at pictures! Once I get my copy of MWO back, the hunt begins (again, after a nice little military watch detour).

    there's a thread around here where several members have expressed that owning a Speedmaster have brought them joy, happiness, health and all sort of good things to their daily life.... @OmegaRolex , what you say? perhaps the Speedy is also good for controlling nightmares? :coffee:

    Check it out here

    That article should have been published in the 80's and/or 90's. What an old-fashioned way of coverage, bleh
    The poor brands that are mentioned can't help it neither.....

    This is a situation you need to remedy forthwith. I have a nice Seamaster 166.0209 that should be back from the watchmaker in a week or two that might just fit the bill .... ;)

    I only own one and it's listed in the FS section right now, so I'm headed that way.

    I don't own an Omega, the Omega owns me. She is more life-partner.
    I sing to her, read bedtime stories and speak with her in restaurants. She speaks softly but with faultless cadence.

    I did... The Longines guys here got me hooked though, they're the only vintage pieces in the watch box now.
