Ram Bam, great looking Doxa.

Greg, you my friend, are a lucky man.

I watched the sweep second hand on my GMT. It was spot on too.

Didn't occur to me until I read this Post that the watch I was wearing may well have seen the better part of most New Year's Eves since 1960. Wow! Thanks for that thought.



This watch, as I've mentioned here before, dates to perhaps just a few hours before the Ian Fleming Rolex 1016 Explorer (ie, the literary James Bond watch). Not sure where it will be a year from now (eg, may be on display - I'm certainly not giving it up for any reason I can think of).

So I departed from the routine I started in 2006 of wearing my Omega 2907.50.91 "Casino Royale" Limited Edition Seamaster Planet Ocean.

man i deliberately adjusted my SS-GMTc the night before new years, just so i can look at it cross over from 2009 to 2010, but the fireworks at the taipei101 building was to overwhelming and took over my eyesight. haha. better luck next year i guess. and hopefully the GMT will still be as sexy as it is. :p

16613 the BLUESY!!!

That Gold ( seconds hand ) on BLUE is OUTSTANDING!

Love it!

;-)

On the other hand ( virtually ;-)) on my GMT I would have been able to see the GMT Time!!
