2nd day of the year..found and bought another watch! Omega!

Post by polaco23 » Sun Jan 02, 2011 3:45 pm

Yep, im two for two this year. :geek:

Mark 4.5 Speedmaster, full overhaul last year by Ken Setzer. This also has had the case and bracelet touched up, new crystal, and relume job. Lemania 5100 auto chrono. I was online with Roar and he pushed me over the edge to get it. my paypal is now in the red, but ill sell off a few watches real soon and this along with the incoming tissot will be it for me this year, unless i sell off a major piece.

thanks Mike, looks like our next G2G will be a bit more interesting. :grin:

Props to Roar for pushing me over the edge! Roar lets see some pics of the watch that put the seed in my head to get a 4.5! :cheers:

Great catch. I've been enjoying mine for a few months now. Great that you got one with an overhaul. Given the complexity of the movement (most watchmakers won't touch it), and the fact that these were mainly sold in South America (hot tropics), many show up having had "moisture issues" (wonderful euphemism for rust) that are not easily detected unless start pulling off layers of the movement.

Congrats! Mine acknowledges your entry into the "Brethren of the Holy 4.5" :cheers:

Wow!!!

What a great pick-up. I've been looking at those for awhile now - - even bid on a couple, but the prices are higher than I can manage at present.

:salute:

Wow, Dom, way to step up your game there. Hell, at the rate you're going, you'll be on to real watches in no time. :thumbsup:

No, but seriously, it may just be an Omega, it's awesome all the same.
