Watches - another OCD problem
-
Asked after this a while back and received an unexpected call two weeks ago. Hasn’t left my wrist since.
-
@Manticore damn fine watch
-
@JDelage actually was late 2021 but, after one follow-up in early 2022, I sort of forgot about it and moved on. So when the AD emailed and asked if I was still interested maybe a month ago, I said sure, and then about a week later was told they had one reserved for me.
Moral of the story is apparently to not care too deeply and then maybe it will show up.
-
@Manticore lovely pick up, congratulations. I still regret selling mine. I was interested in the Tudor Black Bay version until I had the watch in hand, the Tudor cases are very slab sided and bulky. Rolex definitely have kept the better case designs to themselves.

@Cole not gonna tell us what you want? Fine then

@Cole I was eyeing up an Omega CK 859 with 30% off over the summer.
Unfortunately, I couldn't reclaim VAT on it (thanks Brexit), and would have been liable for GST and import duty on return to Australia.
So it didn't happen...

@Cole I wouldnt turn that down if you can help it. I have been waiting on my 75th anni but I would take the Bond over it any day at that price.

Yes I know, but 7.5k € is more then I can spare at the moment, even if it is a very good price for a brand new, somewhat limited, Omega with all the paperwork.
Plus I allready own the very first Bond Omega, which makes it very hard to explain to my wife, why this one is also very appealing.

@Anesthetist nice! Weren't you eyeing one of those up a few months ago?
Now put it on one of the Omega mesh bracelets!
-
@Anesthetist Very nice. Are you loving the dial? What's it like in different light? I've had a bit of a soft spot for the Vintage version of Seamaster 300 75th.
-
@Graeme I was! I had seen one at our local omega boutique and got in contact in my authorized dealer that discounts. I had to wait a few months but saved quite a bit of money and taxes so that’s a win for me!
-
@Mr-Linz I like it very much and Omega’s press release photos dont do it justice. It was dark when I got home last night so I’ll get some sunny pics today
