Sorry to hear this and glad to see that you put your wrist on the line to save the Zenith - true WISdom. Now, where did you put those NASA velcro straps?

My only vivid memory of the incident is going over the top of the handlebars with my left hand out stretched and thinking,`` Aarghh the watch, not the watch!!``

You did well but for the next six weeks you have to be careful where you go.

I did exactly the same thing about fifteen years ago and thought nothing of it until maybe five years later when I went to see my bank manager to talk about an investment. He pulled up my records and said, "It says here that you had a broken wrist."

WTF. It turns out that I had paid some money into my account (at a different branch) and the teller had recorded the fact that my arm was wrapped in he same blue fibre glass as yours. Fortunately, they didn't consider me too much of a risk to let me invest my own money but I wonder if my recklessness would have been taken into account if I had wanted to borrow £100,000 instead?

Oh I do love banks! Indeed very kind of them to agree to you risking your own money!

This watch is extremely difficult to photograph. I need a new camera too. Me and this watch have developed quite a history in a very short amount of times. For your viewing pleasure...

khmt2, that dial is not painted by Omega. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news... I doubt it even being an Omega dial.

Too many things to just point out one. It is all bad. And again - sorry to bring up this here.

1968 1675 - just back from a minor repair - nice to have it back on the wrist... I had forgotten about the war wound to the cyclops!

Great looking GMT with long E. I have the '68 as well and it's everything I can do not to wear it 24/7.
