....yes another incoming for me this year. Hopefully the last till summer next year as I'm skint!

Been thinking of a Tag Heuer Monaco, Rolex Hulk or BLNR but didn't want to commit to a purchase this year.

Then this beast arrived at my AD. Not sure what drew me to it as I hate black watches but this is something else! The ceramic flips from a deep black to a shade of grey, it has polished and brushed finishes on the casing...it shouldn't work in theory but after staring at it for a while I'm drawn to it. It's almost as if Omega stole some of Rolex's fairy dust and sprinkled it on this piece.

It's been a while since I've been so mesmerised over a watch that I couldn't wait! Don't get me wrong, I love all the other watches in the collection but this is definitely special in its own right.

I present to you the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon:

Now this puts me in a predicament. For insurance purposes, I can't insure the older Speedmaster or Navitimer as this needs to be covered instead (they're covered up to 2k which is better than nothing).

So do I add to the collection, or sell the older Speedmaster and possibly both Breitlings? I can't justify having two Speedmasters, but at the same time over the next 5-10 years am sure the collection will keep growing.

I'll defer the insurance advice to others but wanted to say congrats on a beautiful watch! The DSOTM is my favorite Speedmaster. . Absolutely stunning watch!

It's a beauty, congrats. I think that this is one of the most interesting new watches from the last year or so. Wear it in good health, Irf. As to the older Speedie and the Breitlings, I would wait a while and, if you find that any or all are not getting wrist time, put 'em up for sale. I wouldn't let insurance drive the decision, though.

Huge congrats! Looks stunning!

...There was a watch in those Photos?

locutus49 · 31 July 2014, 06:25 AM

Thanks for the photos. I like to keep "abreast" of the latest watches.

Looks like you have full rack of watches to rotate between. Nicely done!

awesome new addition...it is truly a stunning piece, and looks just as good on a lady's wrist which shows its diverse and wonderful design....I would love to have a classic and the DSOM together in my collection...I would keep both, for the sake of different characters from such an iconic classic...you should flip, if necessary, those pieces which you find you dont wear any more because of the new addition. that would be the logical thing to do IMHO...huge congrats on a fantastic purchase :)
