Historical Perspectives: Revisiting The History Of The Omega Speedmaster With The Astronauts Who Wore Them
The official status of Omega’s Speedmaster Professional as that of “Moonwatch” is widely known and celebrated amongst enthusiasts and certainly by Omega themselves. Unlike many brand partnerships, the relationship between Omega and NASA has yielded real, tangible benefits, with the Speedmaster itself making appearances in each of the manned missions to the Moon, and even contributing to one of the greatest dramas of the 20th century, helping the astronauts of Apollo 13 return safely to Earth after an oxygen tank explosion two days into the mission. To gain a more personal perspective on this relationship, Omega sent us to NASA headquarters in Houston, where we had access to astronauts Jim Lovell (Gemini 7, 12; Apollo 8, 13) and Tom Stafford (Gemini 6A, 9A; Apollo 10; ASTP). We heard the first hand account of Lovell’s heroism, and the Speedmaster’s pivotal role in Apollo 13’s return to Earth. 1 OF 26 “Houston, we have a problem.&rd

Recommended AD in PA/NY/NJ
I have made up my mind to trade in my GMT Master II and replace it with an Omega PO 42mm 8500. I had been planning on taking a trip out to Tourneau in King of Prussia to look into this but just discovered that they no longer carry Omega.I would really appreciate it if any knowledgeable TRF members might be able to steer me toward a good AD in PA/NY/NJ (hopefully near Philadelphia) to do this; preferably an AD that would give a reasonable discount to a first time purchaser Thanks in advance for any advice.

Tudor's Weird GMT Hand??
When Tudor released the new GMT at Basel, I didn't care at first but the watch quickly grew on me.As I started to digest images and videos of the watch one thing stuck that once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. Now my eyes are drawn to it, in a bad way.The red GMT hand seems to me to be too long. It protrudes past the outer perimeter of the gilt dial. That just seems very wrong to me. Is that normal, does that make sense. I tried to see if early Rolex GMTs did that but couldn't find an example. I know that logically the red GMT hand is to mark the numbers on the bezel so please don't beat me up about that being the reason. It could have easily stayed within the inner gilt circumference and still relate to the bezel. I considered it may be the angle but every single image or video I've seen shows this regardless of angle. (Hopefully that is the situation and then case closed, otherwise...why).Why would Tudor do that. If this goes to production like this, it will likely prevent me from buy

It's impossible to pick and I'm slowly going insane.
Looking for my first rolex to commemorate me becoming a grown ass man. I simply cannot choose between the options. I'm starting to think I'm trapped in some kind of computer simulated experiment orchestrated by a malevolent superintelligence. Please help.My options:Silver Stick Dial 116234. Pros: Could probably buy this from and AD immediately (is that a good idea?). Beautiful. Classic. Strangely less common vs SS models I see in the rest of this alien computer-generated simulation.Cons: This watch is almost too fancy for me. 116710Pros: I love the GMT feature. I watch videos of people using the quickset hour feature before I go to bed. It relaxes me.Cons: I don't travel THAT much. The big bezel numbers are kind of dope, kind of too in my face.116610Pros: Iconic. Probably started my interest in watches in the first place.Cons: man i never go diving are you crazy? Also the waitlist is too long for this. Please help me, fellow experiment mice.
