What Comes After?
Tom's thread regarding his decision whether or not to sell his 26 has brought forward a thread topic I've been considering....Q: What will be the fate of your watch / collection?Here we are busily acquiring and enjoying watches and, assuming we look after them, they will last a long time. However this means we are but their custodians for the short term. So then what will happen to them? Do you have a plan? If you were to drop off the perch at short notice is there some sort of documentation somewhere that will ensure your heir/s (a) know what they are receiving and (b) know the likely value - so they wont get ripped off? Or don't you care?Interested to hear whether you've had these thoughts and what your plans may be.I've "been there" before; being a geologist it was natural to collect minerals.

Speedmaster "Speedy Tuesday" - A Pictorial
On your mark, get set... go!January 10th 2017 was a very special Speedy Tuesday. As was customary on every Tuesday, I received an email from Fratello Watches introducing the Speedy Tuesday Limited-Edition Speedmaster. So naturally I was very intrigued and immediately began to read the article. But before I could get very far, I had to stop to take care of some business and only manged to finish reading it many hours later. Paraphrasing the last paragraph of the article: order here... soonest. I was pretty confused given that I'd never heard of such an online reservation-process before and at the onset of the article* I assumed it was going to be something for Basel in March (*err, I obviously skipped the preface...).So hours later I clicked on the provided Omega Online Reservation link. Then the real fun began... No free number available, please try later... I must have refreshed my browser-window over a hundred times. And then it happened ...the automated reply changed to Number nnnn
