Just got my first tropical and I love it!

 

Nice! My older Omegas seem to be more grey than brown, but I have these two, which I love. .

 

Beautiful watch, early serial 145.022-69?

I find the brown dials very attractive, although I sometimes wonder if the price premium for them is becoming a bit excessive.

 

I must admit, at first I was afraid to click, thinking it might be spam.

But, things turned out quit nicely, nice watches

 

Sort of brown....

 

Definitely! Man those pieces aged well!

 

I actually bought this one with a price reduction, due to the fact that the dial was originally black

 

296098XX. I paid $7k exactly. How bad did I go over reasonable market value? Regardless, I love the watch. Just need to hang on to it for a while I suppose to realize what I put into it...which is ok by me

 

Hold on to it for a year or two and you'll be patting yourself on the back for the deal you got. Tropical Speedys are exploding.

 

That's the one KRLYUZH just had for sale...........must say I was very tempted.
Beautiful dial!

 

and there's a nice looking brown dial -69 right here on these pages (which i am not affiliated with in anyway), right @watchcollect?

 

Yep, that's the one. My crappy pic does not do it justice...

 

I believe a 145.022-69 tropical dial sold for something like $11,875 in the recent Speedmaster auction!

 

@oddboy. Thanks!
I have two and figured what the hell,,,, and let someone else enjoy it.
This is one is my keeper. Bought it from the original owners widow.

 

This is a $15k watch in a few years imho
