my kid’s birthyear SMP300: my “exit” watch

I have achieved another milestone of becoming a “landlord”, so wanted to treat myself with chump change from my surprisingly hefty tax return.

I have been looking for an “affordable” gada luxury sports watch that i will have no guilt wearing it the fullest for a long term, in rotation with my other watches. After all, my big dent in the wallet mandates i refrain from buying any toys for while.

~Official MoonSwatch Photo Thread~

Will I get flamed? Maybe. Does Swatch own Omega? Yes. Is there a dedicated Swatch forum? No. Do we want to keep members from posting their MoonSwatches in the Official Speedmaster Club thread and claiming it does say “Omega” and “Speedmaster” on the face and justifying that they also own “real” Speemaster(s)? Probably (and I am guilty of this too).

Let’s see how this goes… I’ll start. Finally got my Neptune, so here is my collection to-date (also in this particular box is my…

Omega Limited Editions – Post your photos

I know Omega have ceased the production of limited editions for a couple of years.
The only LE watch I ever really coveted was the beautiful POLMLE. Apart from this, I never used to be that bothered with the LE releases.

Oddly, since Omega are no long…
