Review: Maratac Pilot Watch

I just picked up a minty hesalite sandwich. It has had a light polish which isn't ideal but the dial and the case are flawless with some really cool patina. Anyway enough of the talk, onto the pics. And I love that 863 movement.....

Visited the Omega boutique today
My regular AD (where I purchase my watches) recently stopped selling Omega and I saw that a new Omega boutique opened recently near it.Today I went in and I was like a kid in a candy store, I WANTED EVERYTHING! It's nice to see pretty much all the models in the same place, on the flip side they only give 5% discounts or so they say.Right across the street there's a jewelry shop that is an Omega AD and trying to get the guy to offer a bigger discount I asked him if he didn't loose to many sales to the other store since they offered much better discounts.

Aquanaut at CL Final
So I was lucky enough to get tickets to this year's Champions League final in Cardiff. As the stadium is only about 30 mins drive from my home I was able to work in a weekend at home with the family as well. (I work in Qatar in the Middle East).

I was told 12-18 months initially as an expected wait time but lucky for me the AD told me he thought he could now get one within two weeks. So I flew into the UK on Thursday, picked the watch up on Friday and proudly wore it to the Final last night. Here's a pic of my new aquanaut at the game.
