    Central tourbillon. In all honesty, this watch makes the connie grand luxe look like a toy! I dream of owning one of these someday and there aren't that many omegas I dream about!

    And this is the CHEAP tourbillon. Try getting the original Omega Tourbillon for less than the cost of a new Ferrari and you'll be doing well!

    Listed probably half a dozen times. Aside from price another barrier is the seller will only accept bank wire.

    Think Mike was trying to work a deal a long time ago but yeah wiring funds across the pond without prior dealing is a bit of a put off for me too.

    Yes but the price target was constantly moving and the seller wouldn't take paypal even if I paid for all the fees including the exchange rate hit. At that point I just walked away.

    There's a big difference between a Deluxe and a Grand Luxe in pricing, there are dozens of blokes on this forum with mint condition deluxe piepans but yea personally I'd still have gone for the other one.

    (btw this post was completely changed by me due to confusing initially the OP's link of the non-bracelet GL to the Antiquorum one)

    You and most on this forum, even if we're just talking about correcting watch purchase mistakes. I passed on a sweet 18ct rose gold Longines caliber 30L Flagship a few years back that sold for under $800. :(

    Are you talking Grand Luxe with hooded lugs around $3k-4k, and what was the condition like in those? a lot of factors in play
