Hey all,
Well, after a long period of saving, drifting between two Omega's I finally did it. I called up the FAD and purchased the 2201.50.

I was almost speechless after putting it on. The FAD had already sized it for my tiny 7 inch wrist and it was awesome. It fits better than any other watch I've owned. I almost thought I wasn't wearing anything, until reality hit me again and I gazed upon this beauty on my wrist.
Thank you Father John, the FAD, and the WUS Omega Forum!

Thanks guys! I really love this watch. I bought a 20mm mesh band for it at the same time. I can't wait to try that as well:-!

And speaking of dreams, just got word on the company bonus for this year so I'm kicking off the search for a Galaxy Express 999 Speedy Pro!

Hey Enron,
That's cool you picked up on the nick name. But hey, I didn't know there was a Reiji Matsumoto - 999 Speedy! That's awesome! Good luck hunting. You gotta post pics when you get it.

Congratulations, Mike! Your new PO is one mighty fine looking watch. If I were to get another Omega it would likely be the PO and would for sure come from our FAD. Wear it in good health! Cheers, Bill P.

Yeah, been wearin' the PO for a couple of days already and it's reall just awesome. I remember reading a post somewhere a couple weeks ago where someone said the person he was with thought he had to go or something because he kept looking at his watch. He was actually just admiring it's beauty. I totally get how he feels now:-!
BTW, the lume on this watch is unbelievable. I have a Seiko 5 and an Orient Blue Mako, neither of which can hold a candle to the PO lume-wise (literally).
Now, all I gotta do is remind myself to pay attention to the people I'm with instead of my PO:-d
