Honest opinion: does your Omega speedmaster timepiece improve your quality of life?

My Speedmasters have enabled me to vastly improve my ability to think quickly on my feet. For example:

wife: Is that a new watch?

me: No, not even close! In fact this old thing is 49 years old. I'm surprised it even still works. It's so dated I have to wind the dang thing by hand instead of just getting a new battery installed every few years. But I like the way it looks, so I don't really want to get rid of it. Heck, I'd probably have to pay someone to take it from me anyway.

Yes it did. I have had a lot of fun for the dough CF gave me for my 2998.

If his quality of life increased too, I don't know, but I really hope so 😀

Hm-mm-mm...

I was told by @marturx before I bought my Tg 195 from him that it would be an immediate 'babe magnet'...

...but so far, nothing 😵‍💫 🙁, not even a wink (although, MeganFox sent me a 'like'...👍)

Did he mean I should wear it simultaneously with my Speedy, or in place of it? 😲

I don't think it died for my sins but it's certainly been re-incarnated often enough. If a Constellation has bad Karma (aka re-dial) does it get re-incarnated as a Speedmaster?

yes, my family doctor told me the same thing, it was repeated by my pastor, then reinforced by my financial planner, and my next door neighbor, now just validated by the OP on the internet, so it must be true..... 😒

uff, another deep philosophical thread...

I've heard rumors of this but didn't believe it. My GF just proclaimed "I'm never saying you have a problem again"

I believe that is about 4 shit-loads, which is equivalent to one metric shit-ton.
