Ohhhhh! That is something really special!
Congratulations!

 

Now that is a beautiful dial/strap combination... I feel like I helped, too....

 

They come in pairs don´t they?
Both these Zenith watches bought from two different sellers within one hour.
Zenith 220 S cal 2531 came with box and I do not remember seeing too many of them around?!
The black dial one I have no clue as what caliber is inside.

 

Most certainly

 

Thanks to @repoman for inviting me to the Omega boutique 2.5 weeks ago. This is when he bought his GSOTM. While there, I tried on numerous other Omegas, including the one pictured below. In any case, one thing led to another and I purchased this today. Bought it used.

On another note, called Nesbits to see about getting this serviced, only to learn they cannot service the 8500 movement. The watchmaker indicated he had training from Omega on this movement, but Omega does not make parts available for this movement to others. Seemed odd given that these movements have been out 5+ years.

 

Congrats Bernard!!! Nice score.

 

I tried this on the other day. It's a damn fine watch, that's for sure

 

Gathered up a 1985 vintage Speedmaster today. One that I'd first spotted a month or so back.

No photos yet but it appears to be exactly like the one featured in this Ebay auction except has a bracelet. Serial number in the 46000000 range.

I think there's a need for a new iPhone accessory, the iVelcro Pad, a gadget that allows to keep your phone attached to the roof of you car to prevent potential catastrophic damage to your phone when driving away..... my next stop was Best Buy for a new iPhone.. Needless to say, I did not get much as trade for my slightly mutilated phone.

 

Lovely

 

Was very close to purchasing this, Dibs!

At least I'll get to see it soon.

 

Me too, but already three watches into the New Year, so will have to enjoy it vicariously.

 

Excellent purchase.

 

Congrats!! I was attracted, tempted, dissuaded, but pleased to see that someone from the OF family took it home! Love that dial.

 

Too good a piece to pass up; Northernman is one of my best enablers...

 

yeah they're not right for the year..... but they look nice and kind of finish the watch....es....
