Funny thing, I don't remember how much I drank.
Anyway, the Miami Vice, Tony Montana, Pimp My Ride look will come back some day and I'll make a fortune flipping this!

Very nice picture (and nice watch too obviously). Did you use a filter?

I can't think that I've ever seen a bezel like that ... what's the purpose it's intended for?

Personally I find nothing endearing about the Omega 166.0121...

Omega Stingray? I think depending on the person wearing it, it can have it's cool factor.

You mean a totally fictional character with no basis in reality - yes I guess they'd be happy to wear such a watch! 😉

I’m afraid I don’t have an ‘ugly’ Longines; I don’t believe they exist!

Here’s my ugliest, and photographed in full sun, so you can see all of its battle scars:
FBBB0973-3AB9-4CA4-B619-E2F6B0AB8D60.jpeg


It was given to me by my ex-wife, after her adopted grandfather, who served in the US Navy and participated in the Normandy invasion, passed a few years ago.

Quite apropos that this, my ‘ugliest’, came from her 😁, although the original provenance certainly makes it a worthy keeper.

It’s just been sitting on my kitchen table as an unintended ‘decoration’ ever since!

Is it for a planet that completes one spin on its axis every 15 hours? 😁

Or maybe it has something to do with compass directions.

Not sure.

Cool. So having never seen one before I instantly worked out it was for navigation, even after making a joke about a planet with a 15-hour day. Imagine that.

Thanks for the YouTube videos! Much appreciated.

You are a gentleman. It was worth the trouble for you.

Congrats Seiji on the mini-Lindbergh! The back also has some beautiful engraving.

PS but there’s a number of military watch enthusiasts here...
