Cry Freedom

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Been a long time huh?
Back after a long hiatus [got two years but time off for good behavior, possession of an offensive wife if you must know], let me find my Omega feet and we will be back firing on all cylinders.
In the meantime a small lesson, people will fake anything. Take a look at […]

Omega 7912 Bracelet

Its a sort of responsibility thing, trying to reunite a vintage watch with the correct bracelet just feels like the right thing to do. Bracelets are in many ways harder to source than the watches which […]

007 We Have a New James Bond - Will We Have a New Omega Bond Watch ?

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

Now a special edition 007 James Bond Planet Ocean watch has a certain ring to it!
It seems fitting that the film […]
