·His comments made me laugh many times. Is he still around? Did he ever sell that 105.012 from his dad?
I've asked my Aunt (who lives in Newquay) where she thinks this 1970's photograph of my Dad was taken. She said definitely on the headland, overlooking Fistral beach in Newquay, Cornwall, UK. She said it would have been taken during one of my Mum and Dad's summer visits to Cornwall in the 1970's
Well, I'm planning a trip to Cornwall this summer and would love to find the spot, on the headland, and try to re-create this photograph of my Dad wearing his much loved, Old Omega Speedmaster 105.012-65, nearly 50 years later. On June 9th 2023, It will be 20 years since my Dad passed away! I think for me to re-create this photograph, sitting exactly where he sat, back in the 1970's, gazing at the Atlantic Ocean, wearing his lovely old Speedy, would be a fitting tribute to mark the 20th anniversary of the passing of my dear old Dad.
We were talking in PM last year. As far as I know, he still has his dad’s Speedy. He was going to spend some time with his family and recreate a photo that he has of his dad.
Which, you can read about in this thread.

I helped him find the location of the photo and he said he was going to follow up with me after recreating it, but I haven’t heard from him. The last time he logged in was November of last year.
