These WWW's are great! I have the Omega WWW but this one is awesome if you have bigger wrists with the 38mm case size!
Thanks Mike! Yea my wrist is 7.5 inches and it wears really beautifully. Just tested the power reserve its 42 hours on a full wind, right at spec.
Happy weekend everyone! Let's get this sold, how about we drop it below my cost to 1800 usd! These have been trading 2k or higher on ebay in similar or even polished condition.
Had a few requests for straight on shots. Getting close but still available. Edit - please tap the photo and then zoom in.
Thanks for the PMs guys, I'm pretty firm at 1800 usd. If nobody wants it by the weekend I'll go ahead and withdraw. She's great to wear, just makes me want the Longines www that much more!
