Mistake Corrected

Post by mattcantwin » Sat Mar 18, 2017 7:03 am

There are many pieces I've moved out that I wish I had again.


One in particular, the Great White, really "haunts" me.


Solid watch and reminds me of my granddaughter.

Always on the lookout for one in good condition with full kit.


As luck would have it, just after buying the Glycine Chrono, I found the one to buy on WUS.


The seller, exelonman, always has one or more Omegas for sale.


Watch seems to be in excellent condition, and will arrive in a few days.


Some of his pictures:

Purchase not exactly planned; may do a catch-and-release on the Glycine and move out the yellow Stowa diver.

These are nice. I think he scours eBay for most of them and has a watchmaker that cleans them up some.

Congrats! My wife bought me one years ago that I wish I had kept. Those older Seamasters are about perfect.

Yeah, that's one I regret flipping too. I keep looking but either I am out of funds when I find a nice one, or when I have funds they are either in poor condition or overpriced. Congrats, that one is a stunner. If you haven't tried it on the OEM rubber strap, do so - it's amazing.

I think I like the all brushed version of the SMP case better than the regular version. Great looking watch!

Same here.

They tend to be too $ used for my liking Image

I like it better on the original all brushed. Your photos make me want one.

That's the plan, especially since I also have this.

He is a great seller. He does a ton of Omega trades also. And he has a really great local watchmaker that services them. So win, win. Congrats Matt.
