<<< A Speedy Tuesday Incoming >>>

Well. the eagle has finally landed folks!

To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

Unfortunately I can't get to unboxing it till much later tonight. I will post pictures and first impressions here later on.

Happy Tuesday indeed

Duty calls, patience is a virtue … that’s about all the cliches I can come up with.

How does one find the strength to resist opening the box immediately on delivery day?!

Brian my good man, I don’t know about what I’m more impressed. What’s in the box or you waiting to open it!

Enjoy the anticipation my friend.

Sorry for the delay folks ... long day but finally had time to get to this

A big shout out to the fine folks in Vancouver at our only Omega boutique in the whole country (unbelievable I know).

I put a call into them around November expressing interest in the 321, and I was told outright it'd be a minimum two year wait.

Fast forward to last Friday June 3rd (a significant date for a couple of reasons which I will get to) , I was told my time had come. At first I thought they made a mistake After picking myself up off the floor, I was told the 321 was mine if I was still interested. Heck YA,!

Now its fitting that the call came on the third as many of you know by now, 3 is my lucky number! Also, June 3rd just happens to be the day when Ed White took the first space walk by an American wearing none other than ... the 321! How cool is that?

To top it off the watch arrived here on a Speedy Tuesday. I guess it was meant to be.

My photo skills are super poor, and many of you owners have already done a far better job of pictures and history, and details than I ever could....

With that said, I always wanted a really good chronograph, but the Daytona just never sang to me. When this was launched I immediately thought... that's a good chronograph. Vintage inspired, history and pedigree unlike any other.

To me, it feels special, like wearing art on the wrist and nothing like any other reference I own.

As a friend of mine who printed the shirt that I’m wearing says ... "everyone needs One Good Thing".

Anyway I hope you enjoyed my incoming. For me this is a very big deal and perhaps the last watch I buy in quite some time. I think it competes the collection (for now).

Buuuuuuddy, what a great selection! You really have a thoughtful collection. I figured it was gonna be a Snoopy, but in my humble opinion, this is the superior choice.
