I know I'm not the only one that gets excited for the Olympics so after a very different event back in 2021 for "Tokyo 2020" I'm excited to see the five ringed event back on our screens!!

In honor of the Paris 2024 opening ceremony I'm wearing one of Olympic watches, the RIO 2016 Speedmaster Mark II and might have to actually break out my unworn Tokyo 2020 Rising Sun at some point in the next 3 weeks!

Who else is rocking an Olympic watch today (Omega or other)..... post your pics!!!

I wish I could! Unfortunately, I bought 20 Seikos this year instead of saving up for a Rising Sun or the 2020 panda Speedmaster like I should have. 😵‍💫

Side question, how could you have a Rising Sun and not wear it!?

20 Seikos.... that's like one per day for the duration of the Paris Olympics! Lol!

And I bought the Rising Sun to wear on my wedding day.....it's just taking a little longer to figure out the wedding details! Lol

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Although I have seen plenty of Rising Suns around I've never seen that Mark II before, and it looks awesome.

Ok, ok, I guess that's a decent reason. I don't think I'd have your will power.

Congrats on the wedding! I hope everything comes together splendidly.

The two shown in this thread are a million times better than this years offerings from Omega. Everyone is a hard pass for me. Your RIO is a cool watch, a retailer in UK had one in 2020 that had 30% off plus additional 10% summer sale offer I thought about buying it but couldn’t shake the thought that I was buying it because it was a good price or a really wanted it. Ever since, when I see one I know I liked it. Don’t see many of them here or online and never seen one in the flesh.
