·Okay, please post your top three in each category: what post you would like to see; what post you hope never to see again. Here are mine:
Bring it:
1) A new film: "Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the Speedmaster," by Dennis.
2) From the Omega design dept.: "Gentlemen: We have greatly appreciated all the insights and dedication you collectors have demonstrated over the years, and in consideration of that, going forward, we will be soliciting your opinions for all our new models, and classic reissue timepieces."
3) A round table, of all our esteemed watchmakers, discussing the most common and popular vintage Omega movements, and what typically wears out garnered from their individual experiences, and thus what bits collectors should set aside for the future.
Please spare me:
1) Anything that starts with the following two words: "My Uncle..."
2) "I just picked up this Omega at a (pawn shop, antique shop, flea market), and I don't have pictures, but I want to know what it's worth, cuz while I won't admit it, after you graciously provide info to me, with me not even checking eBay's completed listings, I intend to turn it right around and sell it."
3) I've been abducted by foreign agents. They have me tied to a chair, wrists bound behind me, and I've been worked over a bit by their over-muscled enforcer.
"You better talk, M'Bob."
Silence.
"Okay tough guy, we are going to get a large rope, and cut a hole in that chair, and swing it up and whack you where you ain't gonna be happy."
"That's been done before, FYI."
"Hmmm...well, anyway, you better start singing!"
Silence.
"Alright then, you forced us to use drastic measures."
All of a sudden, a slight, bespectacled man appears with a clip board and pencil. I laugh. A steely look comes over his face.
"Submariner or Speedmaster?"
