A pity because it is an absolute beauty in the metal.

I've gone to the dark side and am wearing this today:

Heh, same, seemed like nerd watch day.

Well shit.  My all original (well, the bezel was replaced, but I have the original) pre-moon 01'69 145.022 is now apparently valuable.  Makes up for all the money I've lost on watches, over the last 18 months (ok, fine, I've come out ahead). I'll be wearing it a lot more.  Won't sell.  I did have to up the insurance .  Same with my with-box-and-papers '68 GMT.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't find it particularly useful or rewarding. Handed off to the wife, who does.

[EdipisReks1]

Meh.  It works.

Put my mesh on my glycine airman. Think it works.

Not only do I love the watch, but that shirt is equally awesome!

[grawk]

thanks

Get a room, you two.

We can't, you and Colin got the last one.

[Grand Enigma]

Sounds like opportunity to me.

[swt61]

They're celebrating Brent's "raise".

[Grand Enigma]

You volunteering to give them a hand?

[swt61]

[Grand Enigma]

I don't buy it, I see five digits.

[swt61]

You'll notice that's my Right hand, and you bought it before Fuzzy. 

[Grand Enigma]

I don't discriminate.

Btw, what's the general consensus on Glycine? I've seen it pop up on Massdrop and some designs are interesting, but border on tad too garish for me.

This seems like the right kind of black.

Haven't picked up a watch in forever and I guess I have been talking about them a lot lately as I have gotten two this week for gifts.

Had looked at Shinola quite a bit in recommending them for friends but never picked one up for myself. Seems like a decent watch.

Also got a fancy Apple Watch that I need to open up. All blacked out with metal link band so I need to decide if I like the Dusty treatment or really need an Apple Watch.

I've decided on a new look, for the weekend.  I think it works rather well on the NATO (from clockwork synergy).  If I had my NOS bezel installed, the blues would be almost identical. 

[Hopstretch]

Props for matte dial.

[EdipisReks1]

Thanks!  I like the NATO on this watch.  Enough that I bought a grey on black striped one for the Speedy.  The Omega 1171 bracelet is a bit less nice than an Oyster, and the Speedy is a chunky-monkey (the Speedy definitely doesn't want to slide under a cuff), so I see it as being more likely to live on a NATO than the GMT, but it's been a nice change.

So who has any recommendations on where to by Omegas at a good price I'd appreciate it. I am pretty sure that I want to get my wife this for our 10 year anniversary:

If you don't care about grey market, Jomashop is great.  They can typically order what you need, though wait times may vary.

^ agreed.

If you don't plan to sell the watch any time soon, no reason not to look grey.
