    I would love to hear thoughts on your favorite Omega books. Any stick out to people as "must haves?" Perhaps we should get a reading list going.

    By far the best!
    MWO "Moon Watch Only" for Speedmasters.
    After these two it's a big gap before the next.

    I wish Google would make an electronic version of this! At $500+ and weighing 25 pounds, it's not accessible!

    If you are considering being a collector, these books will pay for themselves in a very short time besides being fascinating reading.

    I use and revere mine so much, I acquired an antique Bible stand for it.

    People are still finding them at Omega Boutiques, try searching threads using the keywords and also try the abbreviation AJTT.
    Moderator Darren @DLT222 has helped many people find copies.

    It's worth the work.

    Ah. Good tip! There was one on eBay this summer, in England. It sold for a fortune and I shudder to think of cost to ship to Wisconsin! I'll ask Darren because the thread search came up empty when I was trying to see if the eBay price was realistic. Thanks again for the tip, UB! I actually had an Uncle Buck, incidentally...not metaphorically, that was his name!

    Darren actually, although he does have the devil in him!
    I tried "Find ajtt at omega boutique" or something like that and got some hits, play around with the words, you'll score.
    Best of luck!

    Ok, I'll give that a shot. I fixed Darren's name...autocorrect...tiny Ipad font...getting old!
