My 3 big Playas

I just got this new Omega, and it is SOO NICE! But somehow, I have to make this thread related to Rolex, or I would just talk about the Omega. Here are some pictures dedicated to Aelvin for taking the time to visit me and sell me this watch! Thank you so much! You make this 14 year old boy very happy Aelvin!

Player 1: Omega Speedmaster












Player 2: Rolex Explorer I 114270


Player 3: Tag Heuer

Some info from www.old-omegas.com:

Schumacher - 2001 edition


The 2001 edition was numbered & limited to 'only' 11,111 pieces.
This version has a saphire crystal and carbon fibre dial. The hours markers are indices except for a large number 1 @ 01:00 & this time the word RACING appears below the sub-dial @ 06:00.
The case rear has similar markings to the 2000 edition and the packaging is similar too.
The 1152 automatic movement is based on the 7750 without a day function.
The list price of this watch was 1,940 DM
Ref # : 3519.50.00
Movement: Omega 1152

I cannot tell if you are making fun of the OP or the guy who said he doesn't like Omegas. Or both. Care to enlighten us?

Not sure where you went to school, but "Playas" and "U-Nihted-Sthates" are not in any dictionary that I have found.

Put me down as a real fan of Omega watches. I have three and really like them very much. They are a great value for a quality watch, I think.

Your new Omega is a beauty and so are those pics of your watches. Well done on all counts! Cheers, Bill P.

Nice pictures. BTW, you can just post in the Omega section of the forum so you don't have to find a reason to try to relate to Rolex.

Hi Kyle, It was a pleasure meeting you and your family yesterday and I am glad you like the watch, its time to pass the watch to someone that will really appreciate it then have it sitting in my safe.

I really like the way the lume shot were presented, i never knew it grew in the dark. . The black and white shot goes very well with the piano too! Good job on those photos!!!

I have the same Tag as your "Player 3". I bought it in 1995 and it was my first "better" watch. I've never seen one like it since.

Me too! I haven't been able to find this particular model, but I still love it. EXCEPT a chunk of lume fell out of the hand...

Nice to know we have a "unique" piece! And of course I like the rest of your collection too.

Speedmaster is a very nice chrono watch. Though I still love my Daytona and wearing one now, the date feature is certainly preferred.
