Omega

Hello everyone... I just wanted to post a note that today is the second anniversary of Chuck Maddox passing. In his memory I am wearing my Omega Chrono Diver and thinking of him. I posted about the Chuck Maddox Chrono Diver here about a month ago... I am ...  

...The Great CHUCK MADDOX, what a real fortune that you have him as a close friend!...I just can read from his publications and how I learn from them! and will continue learning for much time ahead. Yesterday I just receive a new Planet Ocean Liquid Metal... 

And for this nice story. Can I just add that the magic of Internet is that even if Chuck passed away, he's still here with us... On the net, and in the Hearts! Best, Nicolas

. . . with me five years ago when I was in the process of having a thoroughly trashed Mk II restored. He didn't know me at all, but treated me as though we'd been friends for ages. My respects to Chuck . . . . . . cordially, Art...  

One of the earliest topics I discussed with Chuck was my Speedmaster Mark II with this same dial as yours. I was silly enough that at one time I asked him about the meaning of "Mark" designation. He included the answer to that very question in his blog po...  

even though we were in very different time zones i could guarantee on a reply to my email within 20 minutes with a concise and informative answer. i also met Bill 'virtually' through Chuck's site and learnt a huge amount about my favourite subject.....vin... 

I have not had the chance to know Chuck, but your sincerity and love for a friend has touched me in many ways. From the testimonials of others I am certain that Chuck was a giant in his time. With Chuck and you, Omega is made a little more special. Thank ... 

by some work, research or great commentary by him. I count myself lucky we were able to trade some ideas and cannot look down at my 2998 reminding myself that his information helped me on my way. It's so great to see that his body of work is captured (tha...

I did not get to know him - but must have been a great guy what I can see from all the positive comments and remembrance! bet Erich 

...and you are most especially in my thoughts at this time, Bill, on the anniversary of your friend's passing. I did not know Chuck Maddox, but have read some of his articles, and based on the comments from you and others here, feel he must have been a gr... 

I think perhaps that this watch found you? Thanks for your passion. Regards, Richard.

Amazing that 2 years have passed! To his credit, I can't think of any other watch forum participant who has left such a legacy. Never a watch industry shill or self-aggrandizing personality(well, he did have a few opinions ), Chuck was one of the good guy...  

He was kind, funny, and interested by so many things in life. He also helped me with many issues and questions I had, and his generosity was legendary. It's just fitting that he is still so present among us, and that so many of his creations (watch schola... 

Thank you Bill for sharing this with us and remembering us on the greatness of the late Chuck and that already 2 years have passed away since he left us. I have not been furtunate enough to meet or even exchange thoughts or ask questions to the oracle tha... 

to meet Chuck on in the net, but what I know about Speedies I learned from him. Because I missed the chance to leave a word for thanks to him back then I can do so only now and hope that he will be around in whatever way he believed in and notice. Thank y...
