After a speech in front of parliamentarians and various regional governors, Putin sat down with leaders from the peninsula and signed a draft treaty annexing Crimea.

here it goes..Input needed from fellow forumers. I'm thinking of getting back into the AP fold, through the 15400ST( still can't decide which coloured dial).

New Omega incoming...
All I'm saying, it's a diver.

I got one recently. bnib from a great ad. He made me promise not to sell it. Which i agreed to. However, it has yet to cling to my heart like i thought it would. I just stare at it in the box and it has yet to take over wrist time from my other vintage watches......am i alone here? I thought this watch was dynamite in pictures and on my wrist in the showroom but it has yet to really set it. What should i do?
