Which watch?

Very cool to see Tonto wearing the old school Speedmaster in this picture from Time magazine.

@mad dog there is still hope for you! You are also a go-cart driver!

Yeppers…I’m also a go-kart driver…pic below from 1972 or 1973 driving my Sears 3hp Briggs & Stratton powered go-kart in our driveway in Stanley, Wisconsin…



…bonus pic…went to the Omega boutique in LAS a few days ago and purchased a blue Omega polyester NATO to be matchy-matchy with the patinated blue bezel insert on my birth year 1964 Ed White…

Ah, I think this is closer to the kind of Kart Wiesman drives. A serious racing machine.

Stopped by the Omega store at Tysons Galleria to drop off the X-33 for service, she's been jumping 5 secs for a few months and about a year ago the crown stopped working. Unfortunately it will take 'about 6 months' to get done?! I don't remember it taking that long last time.

The store itself was very nice and the customer service was excellent but I found it interesting that only three customers with a guest or two were allowed in at one time, with a security guard blocking access when that limit was reached. The store was only the second store inside one of the main entrances but I still found it interesting, along with the armed security guard across the hall at the jewelry store who looked quite serious.

Of course I did a little browsing and thought some of the Seamasters looked nice, with my favorite being $16,000, and they also had a 'Silver Snoopy' 50th Anniversary Speedmaster on display too, for $11,000. Maybe a retirement gift to myself?

Is Tysons the only one that will service X-33’s in the DC area, or will the downtown store take them too? In town for a bit for training, and I’m hoping to drop mine off and have them ship it back to me.

I honestly have no idea, I didn't even check and showed up to Tysons assuming they would take it. I would call the store, I would assume they do. The catch is when I did drop it off they didn't give me the option to have it shipped to my home, it gets shipped straight back to the store. This is my first time dropping it off at a store though, previously I shipped it off to NJ and they mailed back to me.

They will simply arrange transfer of your watch to the SWATCH GROUP SERVICE CENTER - either in Culver City, CA or Seattle, WA. There are no longer dedicated Omega service locations.
