Hi Everyone


It was a great time . Chuck Maddox would have loved it and when you dedicated the event in his honor I had a tear in my eye. I was wearing his favorite Seamaster Pro Chronograph in Ti on my right wrist and my first Speedy 105-012-66 on my left . We were later told that the Platinum Speedmaster case is based on this reference ... When I was handled the Plat Speedy Gregory was staring at my Speedy and asked what ref if was . I just smiled and told him and he stared to closely examined it and smiled back !

Great time !

Fantastic thanks to you and Fratellowatches and Omega!!!!

Good Hunting

Chuck Maddox was truly the Omega extraordinaire, a maestro, a hugely gifted writer, and a true giant who did so much . I wish an annual omega event will permanently bear his name.

Incredible event, and awesome report! The pictures were really great, but I didn't see the big group shot that we took on stage at the end of the event. Did those not turn out as well as hoped?

Hi,

That photo was taken by Omega and not by our Bert 'Berti' Buijsrogge. I will ask Omega for that photo.

Please don't make me regret selling my Ti SMP chronograph as partial trade for a Rolex Sea Dweller 43mm this summer. I just wasn't wearing it, and it looked mint after being serviced by Omega and sitting in a safe for 5 years.

@Robert-Jan will Omega posts the photo they took somewhere viewable by the public?

No, they will send it to me and I will mail it to the attendees.
