Hey Seth. Can you do me a favor. Please let him know that Rick (he'll know) really likes the blue dial Speedmaster Moonphase Chrono will you.

Thanks Pal

Have a great time

p.s. if you see one please give me your opinion on it. I really do like it.

Nice Seth. Try to get some intel on Omega’s plan for 2019.

I’d love to see a thinner, manually wound DSOTM. I know they already have that one LE, but I’m talking about a normal model with a standard dial.

He must also be in town for the Hodinkee 10th Anniversary weekend... I think he is speaking tomorrow, but you'll have a significantly better time tonight. Jealous!!

Clearly.

But I got the call yesterday, and confirmed just now. I’ll be picked up at my house tomorrow for a trip into NYC to have dinner with the CEO of Omega. Apparently they called my boutique manager and asked for me by name.

Oh wow....

This will be awesome.

Here is a link to a recent interview. https://www.acollectedman.com/blogs/...ld-aeschlimann

I’ll post pics for certain. Already planning on a late arrival to the office on Friday. This is going to be epic.

Which Rolex will you wear?

What a great invite, enjoy it!

Sounds like a great time and a great honor. Have fun!

That knot on his neck tie is interesting. Does anyone know what that's called?

[sco]

Looking forward to hearing about this. Enjoy!

[Laszlo]

What a treat, can't wait to see pics!!

Anyway, I am quite certain that the CEO has no idea who I am.

However, when they are looking to fill events like this, they call their boutiques to get loyal customers. This, I am assuming. And I have certainly made myself known to many of the local and regional representatives throughout the years.

So my guess is that when they were looking to fill a seat, someone said..."I know a guy that could be a good fit".

All conjecture here. I honestly have zero idea.

Don't beat yourself up trying to find a reason why. I think your passion for the brand has been noticed by people who are close to it. Ride the wave man, it WILL be fun.

I've had a few experiences like that in similar statute and to this day I still can't figure out exactly why they chose me and not another 30,000 different people. At the end of the day though our passions for these entities are true and strong, we become lightening rods for their philosophies, products and message they hope to convey within their product/companies.

Enjoy your experience and please come back and tell us all about it. Very happy for you.

And cause no one said it yet, wear one on each wrist.

[steeevvvooo]

Tell him to stop releasing so many limited speedies which seem to end up at grey dealers and let me actually buy one. Apart from that, enjoy the evening!

[superdog]

Heading home. What a stupendous evening. Pics to follow when I can post.

But wow. I held watches worn by JFK, Elvis and Nixon to name a few.

This was one of the best nights I’ve ever had. I’ve said it before, and it continues. I’m incredible lucky.

Awesome. Looking forward to pics and more details

[superdog]

The first watch to reach the polar ice caps.

[superdog]

The watches of president Nixon and JFK

[superdog]

The watch RCA Gabe Elvis for hitting an enormous milestone.

[superdog]

Cartier

[superdog]

A new Seamaster is coming out.

Ti. Blacked out with a little silver about. No date as it’s supposed to be pure tool watch. It was very sexy, but no pics allowed.

I was also told that new releases will now happen in three ways and it won’t be all at once. They plan to really connect with the fans. Apparently some of the gripe with Basel also revolves around the fact that it was for wholesalers.

Omega wants to start having events for the true fans of their watches and really connect.

Want to talk about connecting with the fans???

Look at this intimate setting. The watch I “wore” at dinner was a platinum 300. Wow!!!!

[emersm]

Amazing! What an opportunity, Seth! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Merle, it’s my pleasure. And yeah, what an opportunity.

I was able to hold these pieces from their museum. I must have held 10 million dollars worth of watch’s given some of the provenance.

What a night.

[Danny83]

Wow very cool

[Justinmg]

Wow Seth, thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a great night! Such a cool brand, it’s the brand that got me into watches, this makes me like them even more. The new SMP is amazing just ordered the rubber strap for mine, how do you feel about it on the strap?

[Romeojk]

Thanks for sharing. Looks like an amazing night. Super cool watches. I love Omega!

Can I assume you’ll get first crack at the new Seamaster when it comes out?

I love it on strap.

It’s super quality and very comfortable. I like the look a lot too. A huge win for them imho.
