Santa did NOT bring me a Rolex !!!

I don't know whose house he thought he was coming to..

I don't know what to do......he stopped by and left this mechanical wind up watch...

Here's a couple of quick snaps....Should I keep it...???









I'll be wearing it around for the rest of the day....you know.....just to break it in a bit...

Whoever got you this watch thought of it carefully and obviously wants you to be happy. Enjoy it and it will pair nicely with a Rolex!

Besides, it's the 50th anniversary Omega. Perhaps you should get an LV to match!


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Gorgeous watch I really like those but do not have one yet.

A few weeks ago I bought my Christmas present, a new GMT-IIc.
Then I passed down my 1yr old mint SS Dj TOG to my wife for Christmas.
She appreciates it just like it was NIB.

Maybe I can sell my GMT-II circa 1996 and get one of those Speedmasters...

Hmmm... I dunno, I would be pretty pissed if Santa brought me that instead of a Rolex!
If I was you I would box it up, and send it to me!



Great watch! Enjoy it

Great Omega, Larry!

I guess we know now whether you've been naughty or nice all year!

P.S. Great pix, too.

I dearly love my Rolex, but you can NEVER go wrong with a classic like the Speedmaster. The anniversary edition is a beauty, and definitely a keeper!

Congrats, and wear it in good health.
