LordRasta Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Every time I watch Michael Phelps, who is simply amazing, I want another Omega! I already own 8 of them.
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Its funny you say that... I was JUST looking at his page on the Omega site. The Omega Apnea is a really interesting watch. I think that the Planet Oceans are slightly over exposed. Look through the watches of the ambassadors... especially George Clooney. They give Planet Oceans away like MnM's. I need to go check out an Apnea, I want to see exactly how they work. Tomorrow I will be wearing my red/white/black/blue dialed Speedy!
mjmurphy926 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Hey...me too. I was watching last night and they showed his coach who was wearing a 45.5 black PO on leather. I immediately went to my favorite collector and started looking for this watch. I've almost bought the UPO several times, but have been able to resist...so far. I'm gettin' close!!

CBR, As you were typing this, I was typing my reply about buying a UPO

The PO (UPO for us) is like the Borg. Resistance is futile. Just wait till you get sucked into modding it with gen parts. I'm adding a gen DW to mines. Only the case and movement will be rep after this.
LordRasta Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 Just to clarify, ANY of the swimming is giving me the Omega bug. All the walls have OMEGA on them with a logo with "feet".

I joined here a few years ago just looking to find a nice submariner. I was happy with it for about a year, but now I'm buying and modding... I got a fever...and the only cure?...more watches...
minideluxe Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 You guys watch the swimming and look at Michael Phelps? me.. I watch Stephanie Rice!!
mjmurphy926 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 You guys watch the swimming and look at Michael Phelps? me.. I watch Stephanie Rice!! Guess I'm just a big homo then, cuz I also watch Football on Sunday and Hockey in the winter. BTW - Sorry to disagree, but I don't think Stephanie Rice is all that hot.
Fidestro Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 At least no one is oogling Katie Hoff, that chick freaks me out.
LordRasta Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 My current favorite sport is Women's Beach Volleyball. Such skill and talent....
bigmouth Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Swimming??? PIETER VAN DEN HOOGENBAND!!!
By-Tor Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Women's shot put is going to be great... such hotties!
Fidestro Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Women's shot put is going to be great... such hotties! Brazil has twins in the syncrhonized swimming competition. And they are hotter than the sun.
LordRasta Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 Brazil has twins in the syncrhonized swimming competition. And they are hotter than the sun. No, not at all. Thanks for the link, I don't know how I missed these two but I don't really get into the sync swimming. Brazil is full of hot women, I gotta visit one day.

mjmurphy926 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 What the HELL!?!? I was just convinced I was a homo because I watched Michael Phelps swim, But...but...wha...what's this bulge growing in my trousers?!?! Those 2 are really Olympic athletes? Holy Shnikies!! I'm with you Rasta...gotta visit Brazil!! Gotta say though, I shot a USA vs Brazil womans soccer game last month that was an Olympic warm up (the game before Abby Wambach broke her leg), and the Brazilian soccer ladies didn't look anything remotely like that!!
peyups Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 TWINS! and OLYMPIC ATHLETES. One of my fantasies include hot twins! But they may just wear me out as my endurance is no closer than an olympic athlete.. What the HELL!?!?

docblackrock Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 I need to go check out an Apnea, I want to see exactly how they work. The Apnea is a great model, one of my favourites. It's basically a 14 minute timer using a rotating red disc which "fills up" those holes in the dial, used to time a dive, specifically a freedive (no artificial underwater breathing apparatus). Name is derived from the medical term "apnoea" (British spelling ), which describes an unfortunate condition where you temporarily stop breathing (common amongst snorers or if you're brought out of a general anaesthetic). Not usually a big fan of white dial watches but I'll make an exception for this baby (much nicer than the black dial IMO)
docblackrock Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Not watched at all yet but when is the sync swimming on?? I seem to have a new-found respect appreciation for the committment, hard work and discipline required for synchronised swimming I'll second Andy's request. When it's on again?
