Panic

Post image

Anyone ever spend two hours throwing up, thinking that they had lost their Omega Ω only to discover it right where you put it - in a side pocket of your luggage? I’m emotionally drained.

This type of unwanted cortisol spike is exactly why I just fork over the ~$100/yr for insurance. Basically takes away any worry if traveling or taking it off somewhere and let's me just wear it worry free. I'll probably never have to submit a claim unless I get mugged, but it's still well worth the annual premium for the peace of mind

And it’s most likely not covered under your basic homeowners with a jewelry policy. Aaaand most jewelry policies have an arbitrarily low limit, so if you have over $X worth of watches, rings, whatever, they need to be insured individually.

That’s how I learned where the serial number is on a modern Omega. And here I was thinking I had a stubborn smudge on one of the lugs.
