A handful...The Trinity

I have reached some sort of Nirvana with these three...I tried several others from Sinn, Tag, 16713 but I always knew I needed a Speedmaster Moon. Now the Trinity is complete!

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost...


Now excuse me I'm late for mass and have to confess my sins and blasphemous ways!

Technically we are all worshiping false gods!!

Hey
Vegas was great. I did the shops at the Wynn and Caesars mainly...I'm sure I missed a lot. The funniest (best?) thing was a guy at Tourneau asked me..."what are you wearing there? Something seems different" when he saw my 16610LV with black bezel! I explained and he got it immediately. I was actually glad he knew enough to see the difference!

I was there for a trade show so...I was a bit of a bum (tired too) and didn't hunt for watches as much as planned....

Great group, Mickey!

Don't know about referring to my three as a "trinity" but perhaps rather a 42mm trio or perhaps a winning trifecta:



I've never been a Sub fan so my diver is the PO Liquidmetal LE and my Speedy Pro is a vintage 105.012 (45-year old cal. 321) as worn by the Armstrong, Cernan, and other moon walkers.

Mickey your Omega Speedmaster is a stunner. I know you've turned a corner in appreciating the 216570 so here is some more material for you until you acquire it... You're on your own with trying to translate this!
