Re: First Omega experience..
I know this annoying person who owns A Rolex Daytona. He loved to prove his superiority over other people by asking them in a condescending attitude what kind of watches they were wearing. One day, he approached me. Unfortunately, I didn't have my Omega Seamaster AT at hand. I happened to wear one of my cheapest Russian Vostok Komandirskies'. It's gold plated, so it looks quite decent from afar. Usually, I don't care telling people what kind of watch I'm wearing, but this time I simply couldn't let this nerve-racking pain in the a.. feel victorious, so I said, "It's Vostaux Commandeur" in my best French accent. You should have seen the expression on his face. He probably thought that it was some expensive "Vacheron Constantin" league type of watch. He then murmured, "Oh, I see.". I must say that he's a bit toned-down since then. ;-)

: So Im talking to this guy at work yesterday, a
: real "tough guy" moron. I mention
: to him that I bought myself a little present
: a few days ago. I bend my wrist upward and
: montion toward my brand new 2254.50. He then
: says "Oh yeah, how much was that
: ...like 2". Thinking he is saying
: "2" as in 2k, I say, "Yeah
: about 2". I say to him "Its an
: Omega". He gives me a weird look like
: it's some sort of $50 Fossil or something.
: Then he proudly brings his wrist up with a
: big condescending smile and says,
: "Here's a Seiko Kinetic ... 350
: baby". So what can I say, I can't argue
: with that. So I just say "Really?"
: ... Hahaha.. some things are just lost on some
: people.
