路With the recent arrival of my 145.024, I kicked off a search for a fitting original bracelet, a 1171/175. And with a bit of luck and creative searching, I found one almost immediately. There was just one catch: the bracelet was attached to another watch 馃槑馃槑馃槑
Now, I鈥檓 usually pretty restrained when it comes to watch buying. Lots of window shopping, reading, hemming, hawing. But once I realized this funky looking beast, the 166.121 Stingray, was priced similarly to what some folks were asking for a loose bracelet, I pulled the trigger. Much to my, very pleasant, surprise, the watch arrived on my doorstep in less than 3 days from purchase, all the way from Japan
So there you have it: two Omega arrivals in my first week of collecting them, and oddly complementary in looks. I don't think I could've found a more 70's sci-fi pair! Next, I'll take both to my watchmaker for assessment, possible movement and bracelet service, and to swap strap and bracelet between the two.
