Arrived!

Been staring at it every day since receiving and thought I'd finally post.

A beautiful gift from my wife for my 40th. As she put it, my first "grown man" watch.

I was torn on whether I preferred the hesalite or sapphire when I began browsing. My wife chose the sapphire, and to me, she chose wisely.

Looking forward to continuing this hobby, and branching out to our forum's namesake – but this one will always be special.

Congratulations! I’m fortunate to have a collection that now numbers in the double digits, but my Speedmaster is still my all-time favorite.

Happy Birthday! You must be pretty tickled.

I guess some of us are lucky in the spousal department; my wife surprised me with a Speedmaster Pro on a milestone birthday a few years back.

If it was 5/11, congrats! I posted my Omega speedmaster racing for a milestone as well, my 65th, also 5/11 (although I should have changed the date, it shows the 9th, I just put it on and didn’t think about it lol)

Happy 40th. I will be coming up on my 40th later this year and my AD called me today to pickup the watch I requested. A bit early but I had to get it while it was available.

Happy Birthday.. Just a baby.


Make sure you don't act too "grown up". That watch symbolizes that spirit of innovation, exploration, and doing things no one thought possible.

May your life follow the same pattern. Congrats.
