Leo’s Taco in Los Angeles. It’s a taco truck joint in a gas station. You with a Spectre or standard SM300 with a Bond Nato, nice watch! I think that is the first time I have seen this watch outside an OB/AD. Looks great in natural light. I wanted to ask which one, but did not want to come off like a weirdo, striking up a conversation while getting a street taco about an Omega.
I'm hoping that was the joke. Since I can't go out anywhere and not see an Apple watch on at least a dozen people's wrists. I'd comfortably say that of people wearing some sort of watch like object, at least 50 percent or more are "smart" watches, and 75% of those are apple watches.
A lot of Apple watches every day in office, worn mostly by young people. During the weekend I met my father in law -an old watch lover with some nice pieces in collection- wearing a brand new Citizen Eco Drive. But all of a sudden yesterday I bumped into an ordinary person on the street wearing an Omega Speedmaster Reduced.
Joined my grandfather today for his weekly Rotary International meeting / lunch. A gentleman at the table next to me had a Speedy so of course I wanted to go over there and strike up a conversation about it (aka get a better look at it) but he left before I could! Could not really tell exactly what he had since I was a bit too far away to see the small details. Maybe I'll catch him another time. Edit: Also pretty sure I peeped a Planet Ocean of some flavor. And definitely a Rolex or 2. But obviously I only had the Speedy on my mind.
Well that escalated quickly! I still see very few smart watches, but I have noticed a steep increase of fitbit style things, also surprising how many people don't wear a watch at all. Strange people.
I'd love to run into another Speedy in the wild... very occasionally, I see them on someone's wrist on TV, but that's about all.
Gave a lecture this afternoon and everybody in the audience was wearing an Omega Speedmaster... space geeks !
Notice a reduced speedmaster on a French Navy officer whilst I was going over ballast calculations on the Dixmude. Had a chat as I was wearing my speedmaster
Saw a Speedy Tuesday yesterday but didn’t get a chance to talk to the guy. When I see him again I will definitely engage!
Saw a guy wearing an Alaska project - only noticed it as he got up and left the bus. I was wearing my racing dial mkii so would have had a chat to him had I seen it earlier.
