Fok makes a dollar, I make a dime.
That's why I shitpoast on StyleForum time.

I was unaware you made anything. At all. Alpha female must be thrilled!

The 3 I wear the most right now, have a bunch of other watches but nothing too fancy, not sure what will be next.

This is the PO I always wanted to get back in the day. I hope Omega releases an updated version of this one soon.

That is actually the newest watch to my collection at the moment, I have always wanted a PO but was never sure which one to get (oh the problems with Omega and them having 87 different versions of each watch) I was dead set on getting something with orange incorporated in the dial/bezel and kept coming back to the 2209.50.00 so I finally pulled the trigger on one a couple months ago.

I’m not buying or selling, just keeping an eye on the market. The neo vintage stuff that I like hasn’t dropped in price, and if anything is still rising.

Same here, I really want a 5513, but seems prudent to just wait it out now.

Why is every wrist shot done when making a fist? That actually makes the wrist smaller. The hand should be opened for a wrist flex. Who walks around with a fist all the time? I guess fists are manly.

Great question. Probably tense in case someone I know catches me taking a picture of my wrist.

In any event I was inspired this morning.

Is your hand open or closed when you look at your watch to check the time? I don’t think it’s any more complicated than that
