Why Omega has "The Right Stuff"...
Most of you may have known this stuff, but I found it a really cool article.Remarkable clocks and watches: the first - and only - watch on the moonSince 1969 Omega has been able to promote its Speedmaster chronograph as the "first watch on the moon." NASA had chosen the Swiss-made timekeeper for all its astronauts four years earlier, so it was natural that Buzz Aldrin should have been wearing it when he took his momentous step onto the lunar surface. Before NASA made its selection, the Speedmaster and its rivals were subjected to rigorous testing: simmered for hours at a temperature of 93 degrees Celsius (199¡ãF), then immediately frozen at –18 (–0.5¡ãF), left in pure oxygen for two days, struck, compressed, decompressed, vibratedThe Speedmaster was the only one to emerge well within the allowed deviation of 5 seconds per day. What makes the Speedmaster so special?A timepiece that goes into space faces challenges unknown on earth. The atmospheric pressure inside the watch mig

Vancouver GTG Report
Location was an upscale Italian restaurant in downtown Vancouver. Il Giardino's. Meeting time was 8pm.I knew something was up as the front Valet entrance had several Porsches and a Bentley parked outside.8pm on the dot, and I'm the third person to arrive. My good online friend from the Ball board is here. Tim aka Groundhog.Next to arrive is the couple of Joan and Ray. Ray has a fabulous Panny he'd like to show me. Wilson arrives and let's me try on his Big Bang and his Tobacco dial, Titanium Panny. Please excuse the pics, it was so hard to capture some decent pics in the indoor VIP "Wine and bottle Cellar Room". The mood was fantastic however!Wilson and TimFood was delicious!Ohhh, check out these beauties. Tourby Breguet anyone? Fiore from Montecristo showing Vincent these Big Bangs. (Tantalum grey one)

Omg- it's been a long 8 months!! Bulova's Precisionist arrives.
Finally got my Bulova Precisionist today- I thought this day would never arrive! A domed crystal made the pix tricky, but I love the moire pattern (it's a textured dial- not painted. It's also a little bigger and heavier than I expected- which is why I pulled the trigger as soon as I saw it. Hallelujah!!!Sorry about the dial showing yesterday's date- I didn't notice it until this posting. I think around Christmas or New Years I'll check and see how accurate it REALLY is.

Which AP should be the first AP?
Hello,I'm working on figuring out which should be my first. I lean towards the larger models because my wrist can handle it, have a few Panerai 47mm and no problems there. Wrist is about 7.5. Any suggestions? - I am gravitating towards the old safari or steel diver on bracelet.Thanks!
