    Every once in a while you come across a person, in the flesh or on-line, that makes you wonder about the story behind his or her watch(es). In case of the Speedmaster, the stories behind the watch are often very personal and interesting. In the future we will ask more Speedmaster owners about their relationship with the watch, the reason why they bought it (or why it was given to them) and how they feel about things like: vintage versus modern, the Moonwatch (hi)story and so on. This Collector’s Corner series will hopefully give you some inspiration and insights about […]

    Terrific article - very informative ... and I was pleased to see that our medical friend and fellow Omegaphile came into his love of the brand the same way many others probably did. What a collection!

    Thanks everyone!
    I hope it was worth the time to read...
    I really enjoyed being a part of it...
    It was interesting to step back and reflect on the collection.

    Oddly enough, seeing the whole group together, it has left me strangely satisfied...
    I may need to rethink the 'next one '...
    Stay tuned...

    Wow, next one already. I have to say I want to see you step back out of Omega and into Patek so that I can justify getting another non omega!

    I'm going to guess in an entirely different direction and go BA145.022, that's a gap in your Speedmaster lineup atm, both vintage and all gold, checks two very big boxes.

    I don't think too many people noticed the drool in the photo where you're wearing one.

    Great article. Funny to see that another Bond pulled me into Omega, as well.

    Yes that was drool, but not mine. My accountant had a stroke when I told him I wanted to buy it...;)
