LOL, if I had nice pics of Riri I would not be sharing since I would most likely lose the privilege of having them in the first place 🤣😂

As for deals, picking up the new Ed White 321 as soon as I can make it down to my Omega boutique and picked up a cool neo-vintage piece this week which should arrive tomorrow. Long story, but I have created a subgroup in my collection which focuses on Independents and high-end Swiss manufacturers who have used the Lemania 2310 (2310 / CH27) caliber. So essentially looking for certain pieces which fit into this theme 😉

I've seen it already and it looks awesome IMHO. It's been a LONG time coming and I know many thousands of Speedmaster fans who have been waiting for this iteration...

It will DEFINITELY make it into the rotation and could be one of my new favorites 😜
