    Joining this forum really has its perks. Friends from all over the world which share similar passion is one of the biggest.
    This week I have an honor to meet a fellow member Alex/Dablitzer in London. He is kindly accompany me to a Burlington Arcade stroll and then treat me a very delicious tea and cake in Fortnum & Mason. Checking out each other collection pictures and chatting about vintage watches made the time fly by. What a wonderful afternoon.
    Thank you Alex for your kindness and generosity........

    Constellation. We are very sure the grey dial C case in front left is redial. There are several overpolished, too.

    Except for 1 hour check in delay in Heathrow because of the Eithopian Boeing dreamliner fire incident, my journey back home was very smooth and safe.

    Looks like a nice variety of vintage Omegas on display! I just can't handle the £ symbol attached to them! ;)

    Two gentleman vintage-watch lovers, looking happy and contented against a lovely background of Somlo's Omega vintage-watches.

    Respectable member Alex's watch is indeed attractive and what watch did you wear on that day, Privateday7?

    Thank-you.

    Thanks Steve,
    I will write "picture journal" of my visit to Omega Museum in Bienne. Since it contains a lot of pictures I will divide it into 8 threads as you suggested.

    Espadrilles, y'know. Purple espadrilles. Dennis, I'm surprised you don't know that given how often your shoe fetish surfaces in these threads:taunt:

    Oh, I'm aware of who makes them. Just teasing DaB a little. They remind me of the Toms that are popular with women now, only better material.

    Yeah, sort of. ::shy:: Can't sell high end merchandise in bargain bin attire. Plus, good shoes are mandatory during 11 hour days.

    After visiting London, now I could understand that soft purple and pastel pink are Gentlemen colour.
    I think Royalty aura has something to do with it......:p
