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?
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.
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.
