R1evans 0 Posted February 17, 2015 Morning all,just a quckie as a few already know I got a cash bonus from work recently,which was nice,but just not enough to buy a decent gen that id had my eye on. So I had to make a tough decision to sacrifice a few pieces that id recently acquired,the toughest to part with was the Longines gmt that id only had for a week that I got from Del,beautiful watch with a quality feel,but it had to go in order for me to rerach my goal. I ended up with an Omega 42mm pumpkin with the 8500 movement,its only 2 years old and was a full box set with even the original purchase receipt for £3800 back in Feb 2013. It still has 2 years Omega warranty left to run,so I will be keeping it at least that length of time. Afew quick pics to prove it happened,nowhere near gazzlas abilty,but eye candy non the less.

black263 228 Posted February 17, 2015 I'd never understood why members were saying the rep orange bezel didn't bear comparison with the gen. Til now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
