It's not the photo quality that counts here, but the atmosphere...
Extremely difficult to photograph in these lighting conditions. But I did my best. The atmosphere is simply unique. This Omega World Timer is just perfect for traveling. Here today from Oman, where I enjoy spending a few days with my son. We arrived this ...
Thanks a lot, dear Ajas!
We are just staying until Sunday. So we will not have the time for the Wadi trip but for sure we will visit old Mascut. As well as the Mutrah Souq, the Mohammed Al Ameen Mosque, the Al Mirani Fort etc.
Its really a special place.
A huge area where guests get completely lost. At times you have the feeling that you are completely alone here… ...
Thank you 🙏🏽
It’s absolutely beautiful, calm, and not crowded…which I really love. Definitely on my list now.
This world timer punches way above its weight…
My buddy has this one and I’ve seen it up close. Very Nice!
Thank you, dear Moritz!
Just a few days. But full of positive energy. This Seamaster WT is the perfect travel watch (for safe countries). Certified Master Chronometer, (approved by METAS), antimagnetic (15,000 gauss). GMT and Worldtimer. PR 60 hours. WR 150m.
Thanks a lot, dear Toni! 🙏
You definitely should try it on your wrist! It’s a robust, functional and appealing travel watch.
Enjoy your vacation.
That watch is one I’ve been looking at for some time. It looks great on your wrist.
Thanks a lot ☺️
With its 43mm case size it’s not the smallest watch. But due to its very short and curved lugs it wears extremely comfortable.  Cheers Thomas ...
Thank you so much.
It’s a great companion for all sorts of adventures here. For example, having breakfast. 😁 ...
Very cool world timer, very cool place 👍
Enjoy Oman and the kind and peaceful Omani people. I just love this place (I stayed a dozen of times at the Al Bustan Palace, I don’t know if it still exists and if it is as reputed as it was at that time about 25-30 years ago).
Still exists.
The Al Bustan Palace is (now?) a Ritz Carlton hotel and still exists. This hotel was also on our shortlist. We then decided on the Chedi (but didn't know either hotel).
Wish I had photos to share of my year in Bahrain . . .
. . . but they're all pre-digital. Wonderful memories, though . . . would like to visit again someday. Thanks for sharing! Art
Dear Art, I don't know Bahrain.
But I imagine that it is very horizon-broadening to live or work in such a country for a while. When were you there? Here are a few photos, at least from Oman. Can you spot any similarities? Entrance to Mutrah Souq: Grand Sultan Qaboos Mosque: Fish market...
The fish and produce bazaars are similar, Thomas. One day, I went with Dad . . .
. . . to the bazaar in Manama to get fresh Gulf shrimp. The fish monger had hamour , a local fish similar to grouper. Dad, who spoke fluent Arabic, asked how fresh the hamour was. Without saying a word, the fish monger took a hammer and hit a hamour on it...
