路First watch purchase in 10 months.
I usually only see these "after the fact" so very happy to have spotted this one with two days left to run.
Also very happy with the crown on the left, blue dial and silver date wheel options.
And very surprised to win it for my bid.
Have regretted not picking one up direct from Peter when he did a 10% off sale just before he stopped selling these (two years ago?).
Aussie dollar has slipped a lot in that time. But price I had to pay could have been a lot worse.
Another has just gone up in the UK and already passed my price within 7 hours of a 7 day listing.
Helson Sharkmaster 1000
Should be on my wrist by the end of the month.

路I've been told I'm not allowed to buy any more watches until Easter now... But this has been on my long term want list since I got my first Omega (moonwatch) as a21st birthday present back in 2002.
I'm going to use the alarm on this as a countdown reminder of MET until next watch purchase.
Unless she kills me first.

A ref. 145.006-66 cal. 321 recently serviced by Swisstec
I also had the pleasure of meeting Williams wife and the three of us had lunch at a great Evanston restaurant...the company as well as the watch were outstanding!馃憤
...Oh and Nick, sorry couldn't wait for the dibs to come up on yours.馃槈
