A Small Gift...
Hey all,
I turned 21 a couple of weeks ago, and my family very kindly gifted me a watch that any self-respecting WIS should have in their collection. I don't need to tell you guys anything about the watch, but as is custom, pics or it didn't happen This is a cool one, shows how the light distorts through the crystal at angles. One of my favourite things about the watch! An Omega within an Omega A truly excellent clasp And finally, the wrist shot Thanks for looking Chris |

Just like what everyone has been saying... if you don't have a Moon Watch in your collection, you are not a WIS. It's a definite must have for any collection. Congrats!

My collection of 2 is also a DJ and speedy - great minds think alike.
Don't neglect your DJ though. |

Huge congrats on two big milestones, turning 21 and getting the speedy. As one speedy owner to another, I can tell you that you'll never tire of looking at the way the crystal plays with the light. Enjoy it
