Rory Mciory leave AP for Omega
any one is not familiar with who Rory is, he is a darn good golfer at age 23-24. He won both the US Open and the PGA championship once and is now currently world no. 2 behind Tiger. I read the news on his facebook yesterday. I believe Omega should have paid him millions for him to make this change. As I understand the sponsorship is business, if I am in Rory's shoes, I just feel sad for wearing an AP ROO 44mm yesterday and to a Omega speedmaster today. Not that I do not like Omega, but they are just not in the same category.any fellow members feel a similar way?anyway, birthday coming up and hope i could save enough to tap the nautilus category!!

As he was dying, he told my father that he had hidden the Patek in the attic of their home, and hoped he could find it. In 1982, my grandmother sold the house. The night before escrow closed, my father and I spent a long evening in the hot attic pulling various floorboards looking for this watch. We never located it. I was 10 years old at the time, and it furthered my love in fine watches.I have stayed in contact with the owners of my grandparents' house. They are only the second owners (built in 1926-27). I hope to be able to access the attic once again when they sell the house, and perhaps be able to find this elusive family heirloom/treasure. Perhaps it will be gone forever, perhaps I will never find it or have
