    Seems I will be in good company here though. I'm in my middle thirties with a wife of 16 years and two boys 11 and 8. I like anything mechanical, firearms, history, and all kind of watches.

    Enough about me 20200215_212116.jpg 20200215_212140.jpg 20200215_212212.jpg 20200215_212247.jpg 20200215_212308.jpg 20200215_212325.jpg 20200215_212345.jpg 20200215_212620.jpg

    Only problem I see is, you need more Omegas! ;) Welcome. You are in good company.

    Hiiii Curtis! Well, the first step of dealing with the problem admitting you have a problem. And I agree with @Canuck - lean into it. You are missing a Speedmaster.

    Do you come home at night? Is there food on the table? Do the kids have clean clothes? Are your tires bald?

    If you answered yes, yes, yes and no, then you don't have an Omega problem.

    And let’s not forget.... do you spend time with your wife and kids ;)

    and if the answer is also yes to the latter .... The main problem is you need better lighting on those pictures

    Thanks all, I've never been able to figure out lighting for pictures. I should spend a little time looking it up.

    I'll get some more pics of the chronometer when I get home.

    Ok, I have reviewed the above referenced thread, and have taken baby steps. Hopefully in the right direction...

    Outdoor pics in indirect light, taken from father away. Light was fading, but I tried.

    The chronometer is a ref 168.023, cal. 751, that is a recent local find. It seems to have it's fair share of admirers, and the sparkle dial functions almost like those blingy back pockets on women's jeans. ;)

    I'll always be open to any speedmaster donations to the cause. :)

    Unfortunately I can't seem to ever get enough cash in my watch fund to buy one. I guess I did have an automatic reduced at one time but, for me, it wasnt the same.

    While I'm at it I'll put up some pics of my other watches. Forgive the indoor lighting and quick dirty pics, they're what I have on my phone.

    First some military stuff... 20200216_195242.jpg 20200216_195258.jpg 20200216_195315.jpg 20200216_195337.jpg
