    A jolly man from up north is sending me a package! It arrived in the facility around the corner from me today:




    No, it isn't Santa - it's from Jesse. Hey, put a beard, red jacket with white fur trim, and 40 lbs on him and he might pass for the big guy.

    4 watches are coming back from being service. 3 are vintage Omegas. Can you guess what the other is?
    Can you help me fix my watch?..Where does this: go inside this?: I guess that's what I get for buying it on eBay!!!

    No, but I haven't worn it in a while so that's a good guess. The original strap was shipped to Hadley Roma so they could copy it. Steve serviced that one a few months back around the time Jesse had the automatic AP.

    I haven't decided whether online tracking is a blessing or a curse.

    I have been fooled by online tracking in both directions. Once it led me to believe my watch was still in transit, but there it was in the mailbox. Another time it told me it had been delivered, but it didn't show up for another 3 days.

    Bingo. Somebody did read the comments in my SOTC post.

    I did indeed, but I had to go back and double check which exact watch went out for service. That was a very nice SOTC post with some fantastic watches. Quite a year for you.
