    A counterpoint to Speedy Tuesday, to cleanse the palate. ;)

    Yes it's Speedy Tuesday, but today I wear this watch to commemorate what happened last evening, which was truly monumental for space flight. Returning a large rocket booster from an orbital launch, back to the ground for future re-use would have been considered pure fantasy just a few years ago. As I watched the launch and booster return coverage last night I have to confess that I became rather misty-eyed at the sight of all those bright, 20- to 30- year olds sitting in the control room at SpaceX's headquarters here in Los Angeles. I suddenly felt tremendous hope for the future of our species, which is such a contrast to how I often feel when I witness the utter stupidity acted out in the contemporary political arena. Congratulations to Elon Musk and all his brilliant kids at SpaceX.

    Happy Speedy Tuesday![​IMG][​IMG]
    This watch makes me long for my '71 fiat spider 124. I like manual things with gears...

    Woo hoo! Another Aqua Terra bi-colour! Yours is the first I've seen on this forum other than my own :)

    edit: although on second glance it may not be bi-colour, but rather all rose gold. In any case it's a stunner.

    Sorry not an Omega, not fancy, picked up for less than the price of lunch, and it is what I am wearing. I really have no idea if it ever was really "Railroad Approved" but I liked it so I bought it.

    It is not a Speedy but is my very first Omega. Bought in 1987, almost destroyed in many places around the world (including Antartica) but always surviving. Two years ago rebuilt... I Love it.

    Solstice means it's worth swapping watches in celebration :D...
