Yes, thank you Hans for entertaining us with your write up!! Great report.

 

At last, the money shot!

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing the experience.

 

Enjoyed sharing your journey, beautiful watch.

 

Gorgeous watch, congratulations and wear in good health.

 

Nice watch and great suspense! Congratulations!


I can’t wait to tell you guys my full of suspense story about a trip to ebay

 

Awesome. Thanks for taking us along

 

Do you all not have wfi on airplanes in the EU?

 

Well, first off, I am not located in the EU (most of the time).
I was just curious if you had assumed that he had been using the WiFi onboard to text his message (leaving Belgium)... whenever my investigation showed that he likely sent that pic once back on the ground.
This is why I was asking you about your rationale for the comment.
Lastly, I do not connect to the plane's WiFi for evident security reasons and especially because I enjoy the quiet times that allow me to read peacefully.

 

That’s a really nice shoooopppppiiiinnnnggggg

 

Some but not all (not many?) have on-board WiFi, mainly due to the high cost of SatCom-based systems. I don‘t think the EU has fully ratified the direct air-to-ground standards yet that would permit much lower cost/higher bandwidth comms in the EU member states.

 

Superb Omega piece. Congrats, and I love the story telling nature of the thread.
One thing though, no details about locations of the Journey. (I haven’t bothered researching other threads)
Thanks in anticipation.

 

Fantastic story.... What a way to buy a watch ....
I was sitting on the edge of my seat all the way through, waiting waiting waiting waiting !!!! in anticipation
Then all was revealed well worth the waiting.
That is one exquisite superb watch..
enjoy & wear in good health & thank you for all.

 

That's special, congratulations!

 

I was scared this was going to be a thread with the astronaut's ass watch, but it isn't and I'm relieved.

Enjoy it and congratulations.

 

You flew cattle class to pick that watch up

 

OP's journey is exceptional, and the watch - wow!

Happy to post up my next watch pick up - likely will be photos of the FedEx guy handing me a package on my front porch.

 

Totally enjoyed the story here! Pictures surely don't do that piece justice. I can't wait to see one in the metal. #SomeDay

 

Thanks for the killer suspense! It was well worth the wait! Congratulations on an amazing piece! Wear it in good health!

 

On your last point, I fully agree!

 

What a journey. That’s certainly how to pick up a watch this special/

I absolutely loved the gold prototype when I tried it. The look is just something else entirely. And then there’s the weight.

I bet you can’t stop looking at it!
