      There was an event at the local Omega boutique yesterday, and I got invited along. No doubt they were hoping that I'd buy something. 😉

      One lucky guy got to pick up his #speedytuesday Speedmaster. His son was hoping that he'd get to wear it, but didn't feel confident that would happen anytime soon. It's a nice looking watch, sorry about the subpar photo.

      An even luckier guy picked up The 1957 Trilogy, which consists of a Speedmaster, Seamaster 300, and Railmaster. Just so that you can hate him more, he was wearing a worn Rolex Pepsi GMT, and had a ceramic Daytona with him. (I think that @louisbosco would have mugged him. With my help.)

      I took a look at a couple of Globemasters. This is the limited edition platinum annual calendar. A bit outside my price bracket…

      The standard Globemaster in two-tone. It's a nice watch, but I feel it's one of those things that I should like, but doesn't gel for some reason.

      Of the blingy watches, I liked the De Ville Trésor in white gold the best. It's a handwound design, but doesn't look too flash.

      Here's a better photo of the limited edition Seamaster 300 I posted a few days ago. I was trying to persuade the son of the Speedy Tuesday's owner that he should get this, but he's keener on a Tudor Black Bay. It sold a couple of minutes after I took this photo.

      Lastly, the Ploprof. This one has a titanium dial, and feels a bit lighter and more comfortable than the Seamaster, above. It's probably my favourite watch that Omega make, though I'd be tempted by the orange bezel version.

            Thinking of picking up one of those, Giles? They're cheap as chips, and I assume even more so in China.

                        Jeremy Clarkson doesn't like Rolex wearers. 😉

                        There might be a reason for that. 🙂

                          Jeremy Clarkson is a full-on twat, regardless of his views on Rolex.

                          Possibly wrong thread for that statement. Un-pop?

                                  He wears some nice Omegas.  That Railmaster is larger than I'd probably wear, but it's a lovely watch.

                                  And Rolex wearers are twats.  You have to agree, Louis…

                                        Funnily enough I have been looking at two Omega's that have been on my list for awhile mainly a Deville Co Axial and a reduced Speedmaster.
