I knew this was coming!! ... Our dear "Dr. No" is reaching his 35 K Posts milestone today. Letยดs celebrate it congratulating our dear friend Art for his achievement!!
Be it by his generosity sharing his wide knowledge and passion for Omega watches, or his passion for music and classic cinema, his awesome anecdotes or his wizardry at the pool table our dear Art devotes a lot of time and efforts to our Community. I was v...
Congratulations to our dear Art. A gentleman and a scholar.
Combines Rock and classic all in one breath that is Rock n Roll and classic watches. Thank you for all these wonderful years as a friend and host to the whole community. Big hugs. Bill
Thanks for keeping our community going, Bill - it wouldn't be here . . .
. . . without you. This site is truly special . . . proud to be part of it. Art
Itโs so funny you bring plate up my friend because I am due to order a new custom plate for a new carโฆ
I have not decided yet but this one could be an option! ๐
My first post was made in November '04 . . .
. . . so it's really not all that many over almost twenty years, something like five posts a day. Unlike someone we know who makes five posts every waking hour. ;-)
Congratulations Art !!!
You are an absolute legend and Iโm proud to be your friend ! Looking forward to sharing a few beers with you sometime soon ๐ป
Are you traveling our way, Cap?! . . .
. . . I'll reserve seats at Maggie's, the English pub, and The Rainbow!
Now there's a thought. Purists g-t-g Paris '25 . . .
. . . timed to coincide with the next Stones tour.
Grazie! . . .
. . . 'twas a long time coming, but seems like only yesterday when I made my first appearance here on the VC forum. Had a full head of hair then ;-) . . . ...
Hmmmmm............ Dr. No....... (๏ฝ๏ฟฃโฝ๏ฟฃ)๏ฝ
Enjoy the music.... you're gonna be a Rock Star (โ

The pleasure's all mine, Salman - glad to be a member . . .
. . . of this community, made special in no small part on account of good folks like yourself. Art
Art is a true operator
Here are a few shots from the last 20 years... But he seems to own only one shirt, designated for watch events? No, here's a suit. and here's Hawaiian at the Rainbow Room. God grant you many years, Art. Mike ...
Got rid of my suit, ties, and Johnston & Murphy shoes . . .
. . . when I gave up looking for work eight years ago. And I'm never stepping into a men's clothing store again.
Congratulations and thanks!
Your calm, expert and enthusiastic presence adds immeasurably to the WatchProSite experience!
Well Arthur, youโve done it!
Youโre within 310,000 posts of Nicolas! Best to you for all you contribute to this community. Youโre kind of a treasure.
I suppose being a regular at the coolest joints in town . . .
. . . adds some value, too. ...
To many more great years and posts dear Art!๐ป
Thanks for your time and effort in holding it together. Always enjoy the anecdotes and humor from you, our Mr Omega-Pool-Stones.
Actually, the order is Stones first, then pool . . .
. . . with watches rounding out the list.
The most important point to remember is . . .
. . . it's never P ool - O mega - S tones.
Art is an artistic pillar of our community.
It simply wouldn't be what is is without you. Wholeheartedly, Filip
Thanks, Filip. Being part of this community is a pleasure, and moderating . . .
. . . an honor. Best, Art
Not sure how many more tales left to tell . . .
. . . but there's one more escapade with the Raiders almost as good as the Jack Squirek story.
My t-shirt collection is enhanced on account . . .
. . . of your inspiration, Greg. Manuals rule!
Thanks ever so much . . .
. . . and please keep sharing those fabulous photos of yours! Art
Always my first click when I see your post. Wisdom to behold.
Congratulations. HAGWE Clive
Wisdom comes easily . . .
. . . when you've made plenty of mistakes to learn from. Thanks, Clive!
A true gentleman and a great friend ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Art is probably one of the most โuniqueโ individuals I have met so far, however weird that statement may sound ๐ And a man of not only a biblical knowledge of all things vintage Omega (and Rolling Stones) but also of a golden heart and many a fascinating ...
Bonkers was the least of it.
They tried to evict me the next day. Said there was too much fun going on.
They said there was too much fun.
I said โToo much fun?! News to me! Too much fun? There must be a whole lot of things that Iโve never done but I ainโt never had too much fun.โ
I believe I was staying in another hotelโฆ
Not sure what additional fun you got up to ๐๐
Tgank you for your enjoyable to read, very informative, humoristic posts, dear Art.
Your wording and expressions speak of your gentle and sophisticated nature. Love your "You saw this coming" music references! ๐๐
You likely . . .
. . . didn't know this was coming. The theme from Endless Summer is the last song played on the jukebox at my Wednesday pool tournament. It's also the music that comes to mind regarding our community: the promise of another summer, another wave, another t...
Congrats, Sir.
Iโm still grateful for your help in finding a nice old buckle for my grandfatherโs Omega. Thanks and be well!
Thanks, Livius. The journey would be . . .
. . . a lonely road . . . . . . if it weren't for companions like you along the way. ๐
Hope the pool cues . . .
[San Marino olive / ziricote timbers] . . . and videos . . . . . . are also on your list! ๐ฑ ...
To be down four balls to two and then making the final four . . .
. . . on bank and kick shots is pretty special ;-) . . .
A Big and heartfelt congratulations, Art
Youโre a cornerstone of this place. Your tone and spirit reflects what this site should be. A great friend and โcolleagueโ. I always treasure your kind warm wit and humor. Sincerely, Christian.
Somewhere in our family photo albums is a pic or two of yours truly . . .
. . . at Tivoli Gardens back in '67 or '8. I'll try to find them. ๐ฉ๐ฐ
Heart felt congrats dear Art
Your a pillar of this community and Iโm proud to call you my friend Cheers
