I have uncureable pancreatic cancer, but this thread isnt about me. When I feel my time is coming, I’ll start a thread.

 

I think that transcends forum etiquette, mate.  Gianluca Vialli lost today with the same thing.

Nightmare.

Was surprised to discover this thread isn't about Scottish food.

Nope, nope, nope. That does not look like a watch that James Bond would wear.

"Bond needs to flamboyantly infiltrate Milan Fashion Week"

Ref: 210.55.42.20.99.001  

What is happening?  WTF is this?  😂

Am I hallucinating?

"The watch is presented in a mango tree box......The use of mango tree references the song Underneath the Mango Tree "

Accompanying Omega Bond nylon braided bracelet - I don't think any of those words belong in the same sentence.

Has Omega mixed up James Bond with Liberace?

😬

Wow, great link thanks.

Why not make lemonade out of your lemons?

You can pickup a basic set of watchmaking tools (screwdrivers, tweezers, movement stand, rubber ball caseback opener & 3x loupe) for about 100 quid. Find a youtube overhaul video for 1 of your rep movements (most are either ETA or Asian clones of same) & take a shot at watch repair.

 

There are a number of watch repair forums, including RWG, where you can ask questions & receive guidance along the way. If you fail, worst case, you are out 100 quid & still have watches with issues. But if you succeed, you have begun to learn an enviable new skill & have pride of having done it yourself. More importantly, once you gain a bit of experience, you may find that you enjoy repairing (and wearing) those mechanical watches -- that no longer have issues.

Fantastic suggestion.

How did I miss this launch?!

So Omega has a dive watch that does 6000m?

That's so try-hard and ridiculous.

Obviously I want one.

I had to get a calculator out, but that's 3280 fathoms. 

If you're wearing a 50 fathoms, I'm going to laugh in your face.  Want to go for a splash in the ocean's abyssopelagic zone with that watch?  I don't think so! 

Disclaimer: The rep only does "30m" and I assume by that they mean mm, and I'd be scared to take it out in light sprinkling rain, but that's my business.

Good man 👏👏👏

Honestly unexpected!

Going to take that as a no at this point.

Good to see folk returning after a long time away!
