·I've had this Adam Lewis modded 3575.20.20 (white gold bezel and blue Broad Arrow hands) for about 18 months. Adam put on a Gemini IV blue bezel and blue baton hands from the white gold version to freshen things up, along with a sapphire back. He also used a blue Silver Snoopy Cordura strap, but I never thought the shade of blue and the material was right for this watch. I've tried a couple of options, never completely happy with the look. Ordered a Genteel padded navy blue goat with ecru stitching last month and got it this week. I think this combo looks good now, the leather is a much better fit for this watch compared to the fabric. The better finished 1866 moon/date version doesn't get much attention from Omega fans, which is too bad, it's a nice complication and you still get all the features of the regular 1861.

·Absolutely shitty weather day in the desert -- rain and 27mph gusts, just pulled a 35 mile ride in what would best be described as Redi-Mix concrete... 3861, Komfit and Nerd Calendar did just fine through it all:

Jones in LA
··Not in LA anymore.Wore this today for a visit to the L.A. County Museum of Natural History, and more specifically, to see James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger deep-diving submersible which has been on display at the Museum for a couple of months (it will be taken off display after tomorrow). Of course, my watch would not be up to the challenge...it's so old and creaky that I get nervous even washing my hands.
Here's a shot of the main structure -- about 8m (25ft) in length. In action, it is oriented vertically, with the right side in this image oriented at the top end.
The whole green structure is everything necessary for propulsion, ballast control, and life support. The single occupant/pilot sat scrunched in the 1m-dia pressure vessel on the far left. Here's a close-up of the pressure vessel.
Here's a scale model. You can see where the pressure vessel's port is located at the lower end of the main submersible structure.
Here's a little detail, including an illustration of where the Rolex Deepsea Challenge watch was strapped (on the articulated arm, of course). A shout-out to @Mach and @Stoy -- thought you'd find this interesting.

·Not actually wearing this one today. Serviced for a friend. I’d never seen one like it before, so I thought I’d show it. It came to me with the case totally black with tarnish. I did the unforgivable. I cleaned the case and gave it a light polish. There are still traces of the black tarnish in the tight corners, but rather than really bear down on the buff in my Dremel, I left those areas black. I understand “patina”, but at what point does patina become a detriment? When it is black.

Most excellent!
Unfortunately, I’m not much of a shredding buddy…even though I still skateboard…I suck.
And the skater dudes in our Dad Skate Squad club can provide references that I suck…anyway, below is a pic of me sucking at one of our Dad Skate Squad sessions…
