First AP! FC 44mm
Just joined the club...Love the carbon case, ceramic bezel, and the contrast between the case and bezel. The pushers and guard pieces also make this watch special.Flies low under the radar.Many thanks to Tony (justrolexes) for quickly getting this watch to me, and taking the extra step to making everything perfect.

Silver Snoopy has landed
A few Q&D's of the new Snoopy speedy.Omega was the first brand I bought when I could afford a nice watch. I then owned several of them before abandoning ship for the unknown diverse waters of this insane hobby of ours.A week or so ago I discovered the Snoopy and after making 20+ plus calls I sadly discovered that it was sold out and no one would even take a name in case somebody bailed. As luck would have it, one popped up on TZ and a deal was made and the watch is now on my wrist. Nothing like instant gratification :)I am pysched to be back in the Omega fold with a Speedy. A classic watch for sure. I also have a lifelong love of Peanuts and Snoopy. Love everything about this watch. The dial is a work of art and so is the back. And like my Deepsea, you don't notice the writing on the dial unless you really look. Even with my reading glasses on I can barely make out the 14 seconds quote.Enjoy!

This engine turned bezel is pretty worn, even though we can only refinish the shiny blocks sticking out, it still makes a huge difference.
