Jim:

That is genuinely interesting, and I know someone (in Chicagoland) who is likely to buy the DVD, go through it frame-by-frame, and share the most interesting screen-shots with his fellow enthusiasts. Our man in Chicagoland is particularly interested in the space program and Omegas, and I am certain that he is well-qualified to undertake the review of the program, keeping his eyes open for both brands.

Where are you, Chuck?? Do you read us??

Thanks to Jim for the interesting message.

Jeff

: Well, there were several archival footage

: Best part was that they showed a vintage, late

: Omega may be the first wrist watch to land on
