It is strangely quiet around here.... 😒

I thought that this little preview would create a firestorm 10 pages long.... 😁
Perhaps all are tired. And we know it's scheduled for 8 AM today! You'll see rush post 8 AM Geneva time.

Agree! Hopefully I will be fast asleep by then... but given all the delays of the flight I am waiting for... who knows!! 🙄

He may have been sending it over to someone for proofing and corrections (there were a few in the text) and accidently sent it out. That has happened to many people. Thank God for him there were no pics attached, probably because he doesn't have the stick yet with the renders from Omega.

Me too, I would have thought these nuggets would have lit the joint up, but nothing. Maybe people in the US are taking a nap to be up when 8am CET happens.
It usually gets pretty quite on forums about this time of day. The Europeans are asleep, most of the Americans are asleep, and only the Aussies and SE Asians are up and about.

I am worried about this “new case” does this mean larger?

Ok, I’m prejudging but IMO the 9 subdial in a different colour, particularly with the high contrast between gold and black, adversely affects the symmetry of the dial. For that negative to be counteracted, there needs to be some other special features dialside to make this compelling for me. A fancy caseback or crater box won’t cut it.

That's quite fine.... we have had more than a 1,000 post of just that!! 😉

I can see the finish... hummm, strike that...
I can see the start line... almost there!!! 🍿

Mission Control Center: All lights are green so far...

Whoever's in charge of the abort button, please don't go to work today.

Unfortunately OMEGA management is in control of the ABORT button ..... let's hope they all wake up in a good mood on Friday.

So, what will the reaction be if the Apollo 11 is ugly? ::stirthepot::

That’s when Omega Marketing go into overdrive to earn their salaries. It won’t be another Code 11.59 though.

Let's see....we are now on Page 62. What's the guess of the page number by the end of Friday?

I'll say 75.

I think either way it should cross 100 by the sunset.

It wasn’t just that article. They published 4 or 5 in total for other brands. The Omega one was the only one that didn’t have photos in it. All the others were the full article. Quite the fail.

I don't know but perhaps it might all be somewhat intentional to gain mileage of some kind. Then it was later withdrawn to avoid a major confrontation.
