Big Congrats on the win and the watch, Omegaman.cool10.gif It's ok. Strikes me as a Hublot with that case design and bezel. It's on the avant garde side and knowing how passionate you are about vintage watches, I'm unsure if this is you  .Wear it in good health, thoughyourock.gif |

Not the sort of watch I will go out and buy, but I would also take it for free! Congrats, and why don't you share with us what you wrote? Who knows, we might just club together and reward you again!  |

Wow, I had no idea CD made designs like this. A unique piece, for sure and quite valuable. Congrats on winning the writing contest. Which forum did you write for? |

Congrats on the win. I wrote a couple essays but neither were worthy of an entry in the contest. Glad the C.D. went to one of our own. |

Not my cup of tea and think they are asking a ridiculous price for it but you can't complain when it's free and I suspect that it might be one of those timepieces that looks nicer in flesh than pictures. By the way, I read your text and I was quite touched by it, this is a beautiful "TRUE" story...You well deserve you price Omegaman ! Very well done. I enjoyed my reading from the beginning to the end  |

DM71: Thanks I am glad you liked my story. I guess it is easy to write when it comes from the heart. There is not time that I wear this watch an do not think of my father. Hopefully I will pass this passion down to my son. I too think that this watch will look better in the flesh. It is not an easy watch to photograph, especially with the green dial. We will see. i am supposed to get this puppy tomorrow. Tony:  Agaspar: I too have a feeling that I will like this one in spite of it's lack of charm at first sight. Again a big thanks to all who have commented in this post. |

Omegaman41, I read your submission, and was honestly touched -- the memories of the time spent with your father, the care he showed for the watch and the joy you felt at getting the gift. Very nicely done, and I hope your son will appreciate it like you do. Cheers, rob. |

those big blocky watches have a strange charm. At first you don't like them then you start to see them as weapons :D but in the end they are beautiful in their own way. Congrats on the win. |

This may sound disturbing...but seems to me,it looks somewhat of a cross-breed between a Audemars Piquet Royal Oak and a Hublot,with a bit of Bell and Ross mixed in. Yet,the strap is very reminscent of the Ulyse-Nardin Chronometer style of design. Cheers, Simon Last edited on Wed Feb 17th, 2010 06:00 am by Simon_Leung |

Thanks Omegaman. Perhaps the watch company should change their name to: Chase Werdelin Hublot Piquet Nardin-Durer. That's like having a child with a last name for his first name,three middle names and two different last names. C.W.H.P. Nardin-Durer,is a mouthful. However with the modern trend of having larger dials fitting all this in would not be a problem. Cheers, Simon |
