    Just when I thought my watch buying was over for the foreseeable future, I have weakened and just clicked to buy one of these (SARB017). Seems I can resist anything except temptation :)

    Nathan, I was happy to offer advice but please remember I didn’t do it as a selfless act of pure kindness! I have first dibs on it!
    A wonderful find and can’t wait to have a look at it in person!

    Another one for the project list. Everything seems good and original, but like many of these 6B/159 alloy Omegas it's snapped a lug. They often end up shortened but this one can hopefully get fixed to the original full length. Would really have preferred a recased stainless one but they're harder to find and generally more money. Movement number indicates 1943/44.

    Crap. Weak moment in Las Vegas today. Guy at the Rolex AD in Caesar’s offered up 30 month’s zero interest. I’ve never considered financing a watch, but for under $300.00 per month, a black dial Explorer II is now haunting my wrist. I just hope my SMP is okay riding home in a Rolex box for a couple of days.

    Now, before laughing too hard, it was cheap and I have a donor 7733 if it turns out to be completely shot.
