Artist Profile: The Imagery Of Time With Olga Narozhna
People starve to be different. The least likely of places you'd expect find individualism was Soviet-controlled Ukraine in the 1970s. Let me tell you about finding uniqueness among the seemingly generic, and a person that discovers and displays it.It was purely accidental that I learned about Olga Narozhna and her work. She is a one of the kind artist, hard to find if you are not looking in the right places. Olga is an artist consumed with the representation of time.

Unbelivable !! Shocked !! A Dynamic Date NOS...
The Dynamic date was my first important watch back in 1996.

Just mint new...NOS !! Price tag was at Euro 732 and I did not want to step inside the AD just to ask if any discount was available. I've just bought a Sinn 656 and I have a Longines on the way from my wife,buying the Omega would just be a symbolic way to remember old times,I would rarely use it !!! ....what to do ??? What a watch !!! I hope is just the heat of the moment.....

New Addition - 372!
I traded my 321 toward a P-Series 372. Thanks again to DavidSW for making it happen. Excited to have a base PAM ... and now it's time to order some new 26/26 straps! ... First up, I think I want a croc or alligator ... Any suggestions would be appreciated.I love the way the warmth of the dial changes in different light. Also appreciate the thinner profile of the case (compared to my 321).A few quick wrist shots ...
