Wrist Shot - What's on your wrist today?

Happy Monday

I took out my Omega Seamaster calibre 1611 Chrono-Quartz "Albatros" over the weekend and it is still on my wrist. This was the world’s first digital/analog chronograph and Omega's official timepiece for the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

I only wear it when rain is not in the forecast as it is next to impossible to find replacement gaskets to make it waterproof.

When I first purchased it in 1976 everyone told me that it was strange looking and I was crazy to buy it as large watches were not in style. Now that large watches are in I am constantly asked what type of watch am I wearing.

It only took 45 years for it to become cool!

Almost not wearing it, this 56 y.o. oldtimer, but today I decided to wear it

Cheers

It very well may be but the market disagrees unfortunately because the moment you walk out of the boutique it tanks 50% in value. It’s freaking catastrophic. I’m very depressed about that.

Tommy-G · 11-14-2021, 05:14 PM

NOA (no other around) anyone ever heard of them? Wifey got it for me as a wedding present. Love it but I can’t find a replacement band. The store we bought it from closed and then we moved from NJ to FL. Allegedly there is a boutique in South Beach but we haven’t been to Miami in a few years

Actually, NOA stands for " None of the above". I located an old article for you.

you know, that does sound more like it. That link is blocked at work, Ill have to check it at home.

Thanks

Tommy-G · 11-15-2021, 04:53 PM

It's funny how your tastes change overtime. I got the above NOA and the Tag for wedding presents at the same time and I wore the NOA all the time and the Tag not so much.
Now I tend to wear the Tag much more

I hear you. I love my TAG despite the fact that I prefer mechanical watches. The Swiss Ronda MVT is very accurate and it's my Goldilocks and Go To watch when I have to take off in a hurry.

Nice article, thanks. Going to shop for another TAG or NOA in match men/women

MPOWER5266 · 11-16-2021, 11:13 AM

I own 3 Tags and still love how they look.

My favorite is my Heuer CS2111 Monaco that I purchased while on vacation in Paris in 1999. Whenever I wear it someone makes a positive comment about it.
