Thanks for reading!

Omega's own Speedmaster book as well as Kesaharu Imai's "Time Capsule", I enjoyed your article very much. It's full of interesting details and anecdotes. Thank you for this wonderful read! Looking forward to part II. Cheers, Valentin

The Speedmaster is a legend and has earned its stripes making history. Part One is a great read and so I'm looking forward to Part Two. Also your article on the IWC Caliber 5001 in Feb 2005 is excellent, well researched and written. Cheers, LG
