You are 20 minutes from Enchanted Rock. It's an easy walk to the top. A must do if you haven't been.

Great watch if you have some loose pocket change.

I'm not sure how you prove it was actually on the moon. It clearly made the trip but who knows if actually took the ride down the well.

It seems undervalued though. Didn't Newman's Daytona go for like $17MM? And it never left the Earth.

Happened to be listening to him the other day when he was asked about that one. He said he has both that 5711 and a 5811. Sign me up.

Omega released a new FOIS model. I really liked the first release, but I'm not as much of a fan of this one. I really hope the trend of gilt markers to make new look old dies soon.

I don't see gilt markers, do you mean the faux-tina on the lume? I agree that it's kind of overdone at this point.

I assumed it was gilt, but it appears to be a "special" lume to make it look older. I much prefer the look of the 2020-21 release that had white markers.

Just in case anyone else was slightly confused. FOIS stands for first Omega in space. It's a commemorative watch that is smaller and cheaper than the current moonwatch. It's a relaunch / redesign as the original FOIS was discontinued around Covid.

Happy early FTAC Friday!

I've been pining for a two-tone watch and really like the classic look of the yellow gold/SS DJ41 but once on my wrist it just wasn't a fit for me. I hadn't even considered the everose, but my wife suggested I give it a shot and, well, here we are.

Negative. I've previously owned a 1969 GMT Master and a 116610 Submariner.

I like the lume on the new edition. I get how the faux patina can turn some people off of the watch, but I think of it more as a color choice than faux patina. The Moon Watch has a lot of white with the hands, markers and subdials, so the different color lume on the hands and hour markers makes it easier for me to read.

Yeah I've also heard them called "tropical dials" because they were color changed by UV exposure.

I love Omega, I really do, they make fantastic watches, but the ridiculousness of some of their complications is just too hilarious. Every time I read this, I start automatically making the wanking motion with my hand

Except when a rainstorm comes after you reach the top and you have to crab walk all the way down.

Probably one of the best experiences we have had as a family. Wife had the toddler sling loaded on her back too.

I saw that Wempe has an exclusive Longines Zulu Time colorway, and I really like it. If they ever release it in 39mm I may end up with a second one in my collection.

That's interesting. I like the Zulu time watches but I wish they would drop the stars. It's too busy down there.
