With the 50th anniversary of the first Man on the Moon upon us, and sadly still no news about the delivery date of my Apollo 11 watch, I had to take care of my watch sick%@$$.. hum, watch
Passion, with the purchase of a good ol’ “regular” Speedy Moonwatch!! To ensure a flawless plan, and anticipating other passionate sickos with the same idea, I had made sure to instruct the local OB to set a BNIB unit aside until we would show up this weekend.
As planned, this afternoon my son
@OmegaManala and I drove to the local OB where we were greeted by the staff (much more our friends by now). More than ever, they made sure to make today an
experience for us and treated us wonderfully with a glass of champagne (or water for the little guy), couple of swags, little touches as requested on the warranty card and, especially, passionate discussions about watches!!
As an aside, I will give the OB team huge kudos because over the yearS now, whether I would stop by to simply chat, have the technician swap straps for me, only pick up a catalogue, buy a bracelet, or, finally, buy a watch (today was the first one bought from THIS OB!!!), they have always treated my son and me in the best way possible.... first and foremost because they are all passionate about the brand, the product and the history of Omega.
Just great people all around at this boutique!!
Anyhow, without further ado, below she is!! The latest addition to the SpeedyFamily here. This one will now disappear in the safe for at least 10 years, and likely much more...
Our version of a TIME CAPSULE!!
