As the title says, it's been over fours of being completely out of the watch obsession business. What has happened in the omega community other than the recent swatch/plastic speedmaster release...? How has this forum evolved in fours years...? Cheers..

Someone inherited their uncle’s watch, but can’t figure out how to take a clear photo of it.

Well... some folks argued about whether they could take their Speedmaster diving, or wear it in the shower; then some wondered whether they could wear it at all as it might suffer some slight damage if it wasn’t kept in its box 😉

Ooh, and there were plenty of cats, limited editions (not cats), fakes, and snorkels.

Generally though - some beautiful watches, friendly banter and good advice.

Yes, Snorkeling has become huge. Speedmasters are not for Snorkeling.

Sounds like all good and interesting talk. Yes, I saw the rolex price increases, Omega's however still seems like they provide value. I paid very little for my PO 2500C. I can't stop wearing it...!

What brought You back ?
👎
the moonSwatch ? .... 😁

I regularly rotate the watches I own, then I ponder about models I used to own.

I now seem to be on a quest to purchase models I had sold/trades years ago. Also, thinking about an early retirement, and what type of hobby/business would keep me content.

I think somebody suggests you need a bra. Care to elaborate?

Bvulgari, the Italian jewelry company, has become the Swiss watchmaking industry leader for innovations in horology while Rolex, the Swiss watch company, increased the size of the Submariner by 1mm

Come on, now... Rolex deserves a little more credit than that -- don't forget the pathbreaking move they made last year by offering the Explorer in two-tone, er, um, Rolesor! That broke the internet for awhile.
