Subexplorer's original post celebrates 'Dia del Amigo,' a unique holiday observed in Argentina on July 20th, inspired by the Apollo 11 Moon landing. This tradition, rooted in an odontologist's vision of global unity, provides a poignant backdrop for collectors to reflect on camaraderie within the watch community. Subexplorer shares his personal watch choices for the occasion, highlighting how specific Omega references connect to themes of friendship and monumental human achievement.
... after an idea of a local odontologist Dr.Enrque Febbraro who viewed the arrival of Man to the Moon as a sign of Good Will, Union and Friendship among all the people on Earth.
We celebrate here calling by phone, text or meeting our friends expressing them our love and thanks for their frienship and also remembering those who had left us leaving their presence forever in our hearts.
I will be wearing my "Friendship" Flightmaster on this day and tomorrow my AstronautsΒ΄ Speedy 145.022 (1969) celebrating my friends and that "Small step for a Man. One giant leap for Mankind".
Enjoy a great Dia del Amigo to all my friends here in WatchProSite. Love you all my friends!
Best cordial regards, Abel
