Omega

. . . to his fortieth Stones concert . . . [on stage in Santa Clara, Aug 18th] . . . two days from now at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena? It will be an Omega from my collection. That's your only clue. Whoever guesses first and supplies the correct reason will ...  

Because they formed in 1962 and that was also the first year Omega was used in space. ...  

. . . but, sorry to say, there isn't. ;-(

You get to party with it all night long and then you send it back to the nursing home. Just like the Stones. ...  

. . . . And I don't even have a Medicus. As Melvyn was fond of saying: "Wrong again!"

My money says DruidPadj will get this right. After all, he’s a Druid and the Druids were around when The Stones formed. In fact, I heard they named themselves after Stonehenge. ‘Nuff said.

I'm sure you will have an awesome time, Art! Reason being that is was made in about the same time as when you first saw the Stones. Cheers, Alex

. . . there is a Mk II in my collection . . . . . . and it was issued during the lauded Stones Tour of '69 . . . Omega Man? . . . but unfortunately, no, it's not going to be the Omega on my wrist Thursday. (My first Stones concert was July '78, the second...  

That’s one of your all time favorites in recent years.

. . . although it would be a logical choice as the concert is outdoors, and it's the only watch I have . . . . . . that glows. ...  

😳

. . . not the right one. ;-) (I've added this pic so that others may rule it out.) ...  

and very old but still keeping time perfectly.

. . . perfectly?" Sounds like a description . . . . . . of Charlie. ...  

your watch will have a black dial.

. . . and that tidbit eliminates several possibilities.

. . . no re-dials here ;-) . . .

I’m not seriously suggesting that ;-)

...  

. . . it's near-and-dear to my heart ;-) . . .

perhaps this ´56.... ...  

. . . but keep trying ;-) . . .

This technology dates correctly. ...  

Stones and fossils....

IMO you will wear a 30 Rg chronometer for that special occasion

. . . five 30T2rg and one 30T2SCrg in my collection, and any would be special enough for the occasion. Especially Tiffany. You're in the right neighborhood, but not at the right address, though . . .

... similar to this one? Best, Martin ...  

. . . but not directly on target, Martin. Very close, though . . .

the Seamaster DeLuxe, the “freemason’s” watch. The one with the special engraving on the back that you once told the story about here and in the OnTime podcast. Best, Martin

. . . was closer to the mark.

You even ruled out your ca. 43 ref 2364 30T2RG before. This is becoming too special for the Mr “No clue about vintage OMEGA” that I am Enjoy the show, dear Art! I know how much it means to you. Best, Martin

I saw them last month in Chicago, great show. A business partner surprised me with seats in the corporate box. They played Monkey Man which I haven’t seen in 25+ years. BTW, I wore my Omega Dynamic from 1970 ...  

. . . 2120 South Michigan Avenue , . . . Hundreds of tracks, precisely one instrumental . . . early in the first set, which they've never done before. (At least, not in my four decades of experience.) How cool is that?

... I´m sure you´ll have a Great Time with the Stones Show my dear Art!! And with any nice vintage Omega from your fine collection on your wrist to boot. May be an early pretty Seamaster from the times the model name didn´t appear on their dials? Enjoy th...  

. . . because this has to be their last tour. They can't keep this up much longer. Charlie was born in '41. Mick and Keith, June and December 1943 respectively. And if you think that's a clue, you're right. ;-)

In any case you´ll keep forever many great memories and of course their recordings. Enjoy so much!! Abel

...because: 1. He's Out of Time; 2. Time Waits for No-one; 3. Time Is On My Side Cheers, pplater.

. . . on account of cleverness. The answer, which I thought should've been obvious, is Omega's ref UK 2292 , ca '43 , delivered to Britain . . . . . . the same year as these two. ;-) ...  

Well...maybe not quite in the middle; shading to the first half of the string. 1969 was also the year the U.S. faked a Moon landing. And I wore my Moon Watch to the August 5th show at Met Life. So, we will both have worn Omegas to possibly the last time w... 

. . . Maui Zowie? There was magic last night, although not in abundance. The Stones usually play between 20 and 22 numbers, with two reserved for Keith in the middle of the show. For decades they usually performed a dozen crowd-pleasers with half a dozen ...  

. . . . but it was the '43 RAF from the get-go - I'd planned on wearing it to the concert as soon as I bought the tickets. Art

. . . to hear them play Star Star . Of course, they'd have to throw in a front-row seat. ;-)

I guess you mean “Star$&@er “?

. . . contender. Right on the money, Padj ;-) . . .

...  

. . . even if it is a Zenith ;-) . . .
