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

Congrats! I've been loving mine for 6+ years now.

Very nice. Congrats!

dddrees · 6 August 2011, 04:23 AM

Happy Birthday, and Congrats Chris.

That is must have for sure.

eric23 · 6 August 2011, 04:41 AM

Congrats, That is a must have for sure!

DiamondJack · 6 August 2011, 05:54 AM

As you say, an absolute must for any collector.

A timeless classic..... Enjoy

TSW · 6 August 2011, 06:53 AM

Congrats Chris on the best of the brand!

xjeeunitx · 6 August 2011, 07:40 AM

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!

00Seven · 6 August 2011, 08:02 AM

Congrats Chris!

The Joker · 6 August 2011, 09:03 AM

My collection of 2 is also a DJ and speedy - great minds think alike.

Don't neglect your DJ though.

sleddog · 6 August 2011, 09:06 AM

Very nice Chris......a great BDay present!!!!

Now that you're 21, you can come to the US and legally have a drink!

The GMT Master · 6 August 2011, 09:18 AM

Thankyou all for your kind words!

Thanks Wes! I have to say, the DJ has been left looking rather forlorn in the watch box the past couple of weeks, this Speedmaster seems to have been welded to my wrist

Thanks Rob, I might have to show my face at the Las Vegas GTG, show the US members how GTG veterans drink!

Isn't it kinda tight on you?

Nope, it's spot on

I like my watches reasonably tight on the wrist, don't like them moving around too much. I can fit a finger under the clasp, just enough give

Kokyuryoku · 7 August 2011, 01:11 PM

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

theloxmyth · 7 August 2011, 01:29 PM

Very nice, Chris!

A belated Happy Birthday to you, too!

Maxtor · 7 August 2011, 01:57 PM

Very astute choice by your family... you must have given them a hint.

Enjoy the watch!

Dickson Lim · 7 August 2011, 02:51 PM

Your family got such a good taste!

jmsrolls · 7 August 2011, 04:14 PM

Congratulations on the milestone and the Speedy Pro, Chris!

Every serious WIS should own a moon watch and a DJ.

Congrats Chris. Good stuff! Speedy Pro will be the one I will get IF I were to get myself another Omega.
