Really cool time. Great dinner and then the Omega watchmaker gave a talk on the movements. We had a watch and he walked us through on a disassembly including the hands off the dial.

Got to keep the tool kit too! Really fun.

That would be fun to disassemble the watch and not be responsible for it in the event something went amiss. And to get a tool kit as a souviner, too! Sounds like a great time. Thanks for sharing.

I tried on several. I photographed the two that were exceptional. The rose good Aqua Terra was beautiful on the wrist. More understated than I thought. Loved it. But the one that blew my mind was the blue Deville Chrinograph in rise gold. That was one if the most beautiful watches I've ever seen. Mind you I've owned several Pateks, AP, Journe, Rolex, etc over the years. If you have the chance, try it on.

That's the Deville Coaxial Chronograph. What's the retail?

$29k retail from what I see.... IMHO puts them a bit high compared to what else that money buys

I know it sounds crazy but I think it would be worth it. Especially with a discount.
