About ten years ago, I have been to a watch line, the store’s display on the showcase several fine Omega Speedmaster series antique watch. Showcase is located in the center of the shop, when a man in order to carefully observe the details of these watches, the whole person almost to the ground, the table fans can really obsessed with the details of this. The shopkeeper told me that the fans of the Omega Speedmaster series are a group of special guests. They are a group of people who really care about the watch itself, the investment potential or money interests do not care. This summary is very accurate even now. Super series online community closely around the watch itself, of course, occasionally there will be discussions on the space project. But the community atmosphere is really very friendly, fans are very happy to help others find the details of the watch, or help find a specific watch or accessories. Another special feature is that this online community has received support from Omega. Omega’s museums and archives are actively engaged in recording the brand’s historic moments, collecting the most prestigious special timepieces of the brand, or helping the watch collectors with questions. Few watch brand can be like Omega so this investment, and super series online community is also very grateful to Omega’s strong support.

- For you, is not the Omega Speedmaster replica watches uk has more than other watches “moving people” emotional connection?
The answer is yes. Of course, this emotional connection is divided into two areas. First of all personal and watch between the special love, which applies to any one watch or brand. Often if you ask the owner of the Omega Speedmaster Series “Moon Table” why you will have this watch, you tend to get a very interesting personal anecdote. On the other hand, the super series and some of the major events in history, including even one of the greatest achievements of mankind, have a very close relationship. For those who have witnessed the glorious achievements of mankind in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, the Omega Speedmaster series has a very special significance. And for those who are born after this (such as me), or too young to understand what is happening, the super series may be a tangible between them and the history that can not be personally experienced Emotional connection. 
- Which story is the most interesting story in the story of the members of the Super League series?
One of the most special moments I have ever experienced is that a former astronaut and his son found me that they had “some watch” but did not know the specific name. I made his son meet in my house, he took out a plastic bag on the table, which is loaded with a watch. These watch has a Omega Speedmaster series “Alaska Plan III” professional lunar table, it is one of the 56 watch produced in 1978. This watch left a deep impression on me, when I put it in the wrist, the heart could not tell the move. Other stories that make me feel like the superficial watch that was inherited and later lost, and at one night I received an e-mail from a well-known person at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) My essays on Speedy Tuesday are very good. All of which are of great significance to me. All in all, I am very grateful to those who sent me every day on the super watch and Speedy Tuesday story of the people.
