First foray into Omega!

Been eyeing omega for sometime now and when the 60th anniversary speedmaster was announced I knew it was the one to have. However, because of the delay I actually cancelled the order.

Fast forward a couple of weeks ago and the bug hit again. But apparently they were sold out internationally. Luckily a forum member notified me of one available at an AD and I had to pull the trigger.

Ladies and gentleman, this is seriously amazing! No wonder collectors of all shapes and sizes love the speedy so much. Now can’t wait for 2019 and see what they release for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo missions. Definitely a new omega fan!
