We'll folks, I have to say this is the icing on the cake. I never ever could have imagined being able to put together an heirloom group like this. EVER.

But I did.

I won't get all sentimental on ya, so I'll cut to the chase. This group of watches signifies the birth year of the 3 men in my house (myself, son 1 and son 2). I'm so happy that I was able to put together this special group and that it can travel from generation to generation for one that I have started.

Omega Speedmaster Mark 3 - 1973 - my birth year. I just rec'd this one which I won in the 'Carlo Collection' auction on Crown and Caliber a week ago. Talk about right place at the right time!

Omega Seamaster Professional - 2010 Vancouver Olympic Ltd Edition - the birth year and month of my first son

Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 - 2014 - the birth year for my second son

There you have it. The 'Family'

Here's the Mark 3 on the omega mesh. I love it. This is the combo. The turquoise isofrane didn't work BTW.

great collection! that's a chunky watch! they all look great, and even better together!

 

Nice, doing it right.

 

I can't get over the case finishing on your Mark III! Beautiful watches.

 

I think you need another 73 for son 2

 

Your own little herd of Hippocampi! Congratulations!

 

Very inspired, original and colorful choices. Congrats on the collection.

 

Lucky boys!
Any deep meaning getting son 1 a Seamaster and son 2 a Speedmaster?

 

I love your choices... you didn't go down the beaten track. Colorful and eclectic.

 

No real reason. The speedy was just because I loved the reissue and had to have it and by coincidence it happened to be a 2014 watch

 

The finish on the Mark III is great

 

That mark three. You can almost hear the imperial march playing

 

Great collection[emoji106]
