Omega forum contest! What will Dr No be wearing . . .
. . . 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 win a prize.
Stoned,
Art
First guess. A pre-moon 1962 speedmaster
Because they formed in 1962 and that was also the first year Omega was used in space.
I wish there was a 2998 in my collection . . .
. . . but, sorry to say, there isn't.
;-(
How about a 1938 Omega Doctor's Watch?
You get to party with it all night long and then you send it back to the nursing home.
Just like the Stones.
Very funny, very funny! . . .
. . . .
.And I don't even have a Medicus.
As Melvyn was fond of saying:
"Wrong again!"
Whereās DruidPadj when you need him?
My money says DruidPadj will get this right. After all, heās a Druid and the Druids were around when The Stones formed. In fact, I heard they named themselves after Stonehenge. āNuff said.
Speedmaster Mk II is my guess...
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
Ah, you're getting the hang of it, 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 of two shows at Anaheim Stadium.)
No, not the Rail . . .
. . . although it would be a logical choice as the concert is outdoors, and it's the only watch I have . . .
. . . that glows.
Watch: Omega Flightmaster; Reason: because thatās as far as I could go back browsing your pictures from my iPhone..šš [nt]
No message body
As good a reason as any, but . . .
. . . not the right one.
;-)
(I've added this pic so that others may rule it out.)
Itās got to be something āflashā ...
and very old but still keeping time perfectly.
"Flash, very old, and keeping time . . .
. . . perfectly?"
Sounds like a description . . .
. . . of Charlie.
No, but you're right in assuming . . .
. . . it's near-and-dear to my heart ;-) . . .
A 30 mm chronometer for sure
IMO you will wear a 30 Rg chronometer for that special occasion
Close, Erich! . . .
. . . 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 . . .
