    I was asked to bring my Speedmasters by so the staff could get a look at some watches they may not be familiar with. So I did. Photos from my iPhone, so apologies in advance. Fellow OF member @Jones in LA stopped by for the party.

    Yowzers!!!! What an amazing assortment of Speedmasters!

    I'm curious, which one got the most time on the wrist during the last month?

    Wow!

    You can never own enough Speedmasters. Looks like you have one from each decade, less the 1950s.

    The 50th Anniversary is pretty much my daily wearer and the TinTin comes in second.

    It was difficult for me to keep from drooling on the merchandise. :)

    I've thought about what I would do if offered a Moon to Mars at a crazy good price, i.e., is there such a thing as an offer I couldn't refuse for that one, and the reality is, there is such a price, I just don't know what it would be, and hope sincerely I don't find myself in that particular situation. That 35th anniversary Apollo XI is the most glaring deficiency in my own box, I really need to get one of those.

    I don't wear it much, but feel really good knowing it's in the closet. :D

    Is that a pelican case? And am I correctly seeing that the foam you cut out for the watches is also the foam each watch is around? And also which one is to the right of the Alaska Project, because I think I may have just fallen in love again.

    It is a Pelican 1470. The "pillows" are the foam cutouts (4w x 7H) with the 7th row removed to make the watches drop in easier.

    The one on the right is a 3311.80 purchased from am OF member.

    @oddboy I must be missing why that picture is relevant.

    As a WIS that still has a lot to learn about Omegas, can someone put up a picture of the Moon to Mars model and perhaps tell me more about how much it goes for and why?

    When can you call yourself a "pro"?
    When the Omega Boutique asks you to show off with your collection.
    I am impressed.

    Cheers

    Thanks Thomas. Not sure I'm a pro but it was pretty cool being asked to bring them over.
