Driving shuttle carts at the VA today...wearing my Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch...on its Omega replica NASA strap...on the outside of my 1986 issued G-1...
Stopped in a Goodwill looking for watches. No watches, but picked up this cool coffee cup. It has a view from outerspace.
So, a brief homage to what has to be my favorite watch of 2018, i.e. what I’ve worn the most and am probably attached to the most. I finally got around to opening it, to take better shots of the Lemania (Schwarz Etienne prepared) movement. For reference, a Speedymoon movement: (For those with sharp eyes, the Lemania is actually 18 jewels, unlike the Omega. As well, the Lemania does not have the plastic brake.) It’s marked Adjusted 5 Pos. and I can attest to its accuracy as worn. Over most weeks, it gains around 15 seconds or less. It’s in a completely Omega service set up. Service luminova dial (but early - see the number of hash marks in between the second markers to compare with later ones) and luminova hands (the chrono seconds hand should be flat bottomed, but I like the old fashioned style), in a service Omega Speedymoon case. Apart from having it serviced, I put it on a proper 1450 bracelet and replaced the later bezel with a period correct one. eBay, from France, for $2,800, as I recall.
Edited, but mostly by removing photos. I confess you were right. Everyone knows that homages are a lot too long, by nature. So, a brief homage is still a little too long.
