: A tradition over at the TimeZone Omega forum is
: to post a scan on New Year's Eve of the
: watch you'll be wearing on your wrist to see
: in the New Year (and no it doesn't have to
: be a Heuer or Omega, just a watch scan)...
: This is a tradition I would like to
: transplant here.

: Since getting into watches in a big way back in
: late 1998 I've worn a different watch to see
: in each new year...

: To see in:

: I wore my: 1999

: TAG-Heuer Kirium Chronograph in Electric Blue
: (bought 9 hours earlier)... 2000

: Porsche Design (IWC) Titan 2001

: Omega Speedmaster 105.003-65 2002

: Omega Speedsonic Lobstertail & 1950's
: Omega c.321 "No Model"
: 2005

: Ventura V-Matic Loga

: The past five years I was fortunate enough to
: see the new year in at a long time friend's
: (we graduated in the same high school class)
: house with dozens of our friends.
: Unfortunately, he passed away on March 15
: after a sudden illness, so I will likely be
: seeing in 2004 at home, quietly. (I miss you
: Dave!)

: This year, as I look back on 2003, I have seen
: an amazing transformation in the availablity
: of Heuer related information on-line, thanks
: in no small part to the efforts of Bruce,
: Derek, Hans and Jeff as well as many of the
: regulars here in the forum... I have decided
: to recognize this by wearing my latest
: acquisition...

:

:

: I wish you all a safe and memorable New Year's
: celebration, and a prosperous and rewarding
: 2004! If 2004 is half as good to Heuer fan's
: as 2003 was, we'll be in great shape!

: I like that Autavia. Which Model is it? I have been looking long for that type of dial and color combination.
