Joe, The MK 11 is a true object of desire and the Speedmaster is The Icon. Your Speedy may not be the Moon Watch but it has the Moon on it. Gorgeous. I'm so sorry that I am "Omegaless" those days. Cheers, Nilo
Yes...

The Yacht Master is a watch for a captain, with its elegant platinum dial and bezel. We are in front of an elegant Submariner, somewhat dressy, and a bit farther from the basic tool. The Type XX platinum / Salmon dial is in the same spirit. Farther from t...
I keep forgetting ...
By: nilomis : July 19th, 2013-03:59
That the XX is a pilot watch. If the platinum is for captains, my SS (W/O date) is for cadets? He he. Does not matter the metal, the Type XX is a great watch. Cheers, Nilo ...
Of course ..
