To each their own. I don't need to collect 50 DNA samples on my watch (or more than DNA... refer to "peanut bowl study"), people playing with pushers, crown etc. BNIB means just that!!

If people are interested in seeing it and/or handling it once it is unwrapped and on my wrist, then we can talk, not before.

 

One sees with their eyes, not their fingers... unless you are in a special category (which is a completely different story).

 

I will admit I deleted two responses to this that both mentioned proctologists. I realized I am too mature to write things like that on the internet.

 

Fair enough. Everyone’s different I suppose. If getting someone else’s DNA (or worse) on my watch is the worst thing that life can throw at me I’ll take it. All my watches have been pre-owned, as have all but 2 of my cars, so I’ve probably had my fair share of other people’s germs anyway. ;-)

 

First world problem, I know, I know!!
Anybody remembers the forensic examinations of used cars in the Top Gear series???

 

Haha yeah I remember that. It’s disgusting when you think about it but our immune systems/stomach are tougher than we give em credit for

 

...of course you are!!

 

This latest turn reminds of a thread a while back on another site....."When you buy a pre-owned watch with a leather strap do you wear it as is, or immediately replace the strap with a new one lest you strap on someone elses DNA mung?" It didn't bother some people but some new owner's had to immediately replace the strap.

 

Wrist cheese is an acquired taste.

 

Unless the strap is for all intents and purposes brand new - I always replace leather straps. Leather just picks up too much "other people's funk" for my taste.

 

To each their own, but that's a very odd post for your very first post here on OF. Welcome aboard.

 

Lol. I like to make my mark. Just not with leather straps.

Anyway, like others I’m waiting for the call for my 50th anniversary Speedy. It will leave the AD on my wrist!

 

From an OB or AD? What NATO did you get?

 

When are the 321 stainless steel coming?

 

Omega has not confirmed any SS 321 production plans. It is expected to happen but when only Omega knows.

 

Can anyone share rumors about the 50th "snoopy" model? whats going on there...

 

It was from an OB, leather NATO plus the Champagne bottle.

 

I'm keeping the watch for a important personal event later this year, I've many Speedmasters and not a flipper.

Next day, I was the first one in UAE I think, it's my 15th Speedmaster I'm buying from this boutique and they know I keep them

 

You don’t have to justify yourself to the double standards troll (stufflers mom) who is selling his for 10k after bashing me for selling mine. You do what you want with it as it’s YOUR watch
