Yesterday was Mandatory Metallica Monday…which is the day before Speedy Tuesday (TODAY!). Pic below from yesterday as I was preparing to transition to Speedy Tuesday…321, 861, 1861, and 3861 respectively…
It’s Speedy Tuesday again…1861 and 3861 on long Omega NASA straps for today…
Affirm…it does not happen very often…BUT it has happened in the past…my entire Speedmaster collection (321, 861, 1861, and 3861) on various Omega polyamide NATOs…
Joke's on you because I have to take my pants off to count to 21
Speedy Thursday…
Recently added a 5th Speedmaster…a modern Ed White 321B with a correct/activated Omega Boutique warranty card dated 13MAY26…as well as a full kit (box, papers, and accessories). Sourced and purchased pre-owned in “like new” condition through my watch concierge/broker (he’s also a Delta pilot)…Bravo Zulu to Captain Adam Wilson at Charis Watches.
I went via the secondary market since there was a very remote chance I was going to receive the call from an Omega Boutique (or an Omega AD) regarding this timepiece. I have no Omega Boutique watch purchase history and the very few modern Ed White 321B allocations tend to go to long standing and/or big spending customers…I am neither of those. Anyway, pictured below is my vintage Ed White 321 with its little brother modern Ed White 321B.
Also, many thanks to @ChuckMK23 for the donor dust sleeve cover and the loaner Omega mil green polyester NATO (long story).

I had the pleasure last night of @captain rolex / Mad Dog attending my youngest son's wedding. He made sure to remind me that while I only have a single Omega Speedmaster, @captain rolex has 5! Two of which he wore to the wedding festivities!
Is that a sweat stain on @captain rolex shirt? Did he even look for Irish pennants? Thank goodness the photo doesn’t include his gig-line…I’m sure that’s a soup sandwich.
Oh, and congrats on the lads marriage!

Not a sweat stain…probably some sort of optical illusion due to shadowing. I looked for [and did not find] IPs. Gig line SAT according to this pic…
Attention to detail, Skipper @Griz882…you did NOT notice the food stain on @ChuckMK23’s shirt [see small red arrow below]…chit on my desk, Skipper Griz882…failure to notice food stain(s)…

Special dispensation! @ChuckMK23 is ROTC so it’s expected he’ll be sloppy. Moreover, he was celebrating the nuptials of Lil’ Chuck (Mark 24?).
