    After a few years of window-shopping at the Omega store in Tysons Corner and the Omega store in Zurich, my wife said "would you just buy the F***ing watch. So, I did last September. I wear it nearly every day.

    You don’t want to prematurely wear that thing out. Consider getting another to wear in rotation. ;) Welcome to OF.

    Hi Frank...I'm also in the area...Arlington, to be more specific! Just bought my first Omega (from Tysons) just a few weeks ago. It arrived this past Friday!

    That’s how you do it! That’s how you acquire watches.

    Welcome and good choice! I will be passing through your part of the world in a couple of week's time. I'm trying to figure out how I can fit in a return visit to Founding Farmers in Pennsylvania Ave for some of their amazing thick-cut maple glazed bacon!

    We like our bacon here in DC. At the Old Post Office (now the Trump hotel--no political statement implied or intended), the candied bacon strips at the bar are lovely.

    There is also a Founding Farmers at the Tyson's Galleria. You can stop by the OB after? ;)

    I've found the OB in Tyson's super helpful. I've bought links there but never a watch (as I tend towards vintage) and they'll always roll out the red carpet.

    The sales staff at Tyson’s OB is very helpful. And there is a Founding Farmers and a couple other very good restaurants. The Mall itself is high-end (Neiman Marcus, Saks, and several fine boutiques). Easy parking. Come on down.

    Maybe I will see you there! I want to inquire about the blue vs. green pip on the Seamaster Pro 300M.
