Omega

Team, Last Saturday a lady from the Omega Boutique called, stating that a watch that I asked on my previous (and first) visit was available. Yesterday I went to the Boutique and I decided to say "no, thanks" and I cancel my reservation. We leave the Bouti...  

Your wife is lovely! Looking forward to your review.

She also has good taste for watches and husband. Cheers, Nilo

Well said!

is a BEAUTIFUL watch!!! I also love re-editions and this one is GREAT !! I have one on "hold" with my AD, because I am waiting for the Aquaterra 15000 gauss. I will choose just one but after see this photo...hmmmm I think I will get it !! Wear is in the b... 

Armando. I believe that the history behind the Speedmaster is something that is very hard to ignore. Cheers, Nilo

. . . #0001 (demonstrator model, specifically 'Not For Sale') . . . . . . on my wrist, taken almost exactly one year ago today! Great call, Nilo - this is, I feel, the very best modern special edition of the venerable Speedmaster. It faithfully captures t...  

But I don't care. It's a nice number and, that is the most important part, I like the watch very much and my wife likes more! Cheers, Nilo

... Mrs. Dr. No. I think we all know that it takes a very understanding wife to appreciate why her husband "deserves" something like this. Bravo, Art. A stunner! Can't wait to see it. - Scott

... I meant to say Mrs. Nilo. I had two posts open and I was replying to Dr. No on the other. Sometimes I try to multitask and I come up with a FAIL. My apologies, Nilomis... A fantastic piece. - Scott

And thank you very much. Nilo

. . . sheesh, for a few moments, I had a wife I didn't even know! :-)

I know that a wife that not only tolerates this hobby but push you to another watch is a very rare those days. Cheers, Nilo

It looks like you have a great watch, and an even greater wife ! Did you firstly say no because your wife was there? Interesting. I never watch browse or shop with my girlfriend, only alone. I know she has the feeling, "Oh no, not another watch", even tho... 

I said "no" because I like to haggle and on a Boutique there is no haggling. I do watch shopping with my wife all the time, sometimes I avoid doing because she is the first to say "get it". As a matter of fact, we went to that shopping mall to buy her bir... 

its a good looker alright. not over the top, but just nicely different from the standard model. enjoy it G

One of the "original seven" Mercury astronauts. He was the first wearer of an Speedmaster in space. (This pic show Schirra wearing a Speedy, getting ready for an Apollo flight) I remember (I was a boy) seeing pictures of the Mercury astronauts (Life Magaz...  

Walter M. Schirra with Guenter Wendt previous to the launch of the SIGMA 7. The Speedmaster CK2998 on the wrist. Kind regards, Armando ...  

Thanks for the picture. I need to scan some magazines from that period that I have. Cheers, Nilo

I really like the Mercury 7 program history. As Tom Wolfe named: "The Right Stuff" Hope you can find time to scan some photos of the magazzines! Un cordial saludo, Armando ...  

indeed..very nice way to return.. enjoy and kudos to your wife...

I told my wife about the general comments and she postulated: "Watches and woman shoes; more is better". I'm doomed! Cheers, Nilo

For having such a cool wife! That's the story for me right there. And, oh, nice watch ;)

I really like this version! Your wife is a very wise lady! :) Best Blomman

if i did not have the original, this one would be the one to buy. congratulations ! kind regards from australia. achim

As a matter of fact, I got this one based on the history behind and I prefer new to vintage, based on the easy of maintenance. Cheers, Nilo

That is a gorgeous Speedmaster. Made more special by your wonderful wife being so supportive! Enjoy it for many years to come. Cheers, Carl

My wife always support my crazy or not so crazy action. And, of course, I do the same with hers. Cheers, Nilo

....the fact that your wife said you "deserved" the watch. Outstanding work, Nilo.

Your photography is superb as always and now you have another Speedy as a photogenic model to shoot at. Congratulations! Ruckdee

And you are correct. This Speedy is very photogenic. Cheers, Nilo

another "Survivor" here ;) Good wife always knows what's best for her man! Cheers and congrats Damjan

She even don't let me to change the strap! "It's perfect as is" she stated and I replied with the usual last words: "Yes, dear". Cheers, Nilo

that Yes dear is Globay accepted expression ;) Enjoy D

Damn, whats wrong with you guys teasing me like that ? We expect a full review very soon ! Bim

I'm reading a ton of previous Speedy reviews because I want something more original. Stay tuned. Cheers, Nilo
