    Being masters of patience, I believe we here are all familiar with the very painful yet exciting "incoming" period as we wait for our "precious" to get onto our wrists... This was a very special case for me; I had been waiting on 4 very special watches which were sent directly from the seller to my amazing watch maker and had been collecting with him for a while now for some TLC, and here they are finally, from box to wrist....

    I gotta say, I am always amazed at the very much appreciated amount of care and attention my watch maker gives to packaging... IMG-20130806-00353.jpg IMG-20130806-00356.jpg IMG-20130806-00361.jpg IMG-20130806-00362.jpg

    Glad that once again you are the first to appreciate the "Box to Wrist" thread! ;)

    Thanks Alex.... you got it! ;)
    In any case, that rose gold marker waffle dial 2576 naturally goes to you since when it first arrived, it went directly onto your tan ostrich straps :D

    Hi Melhadary,
    nice to see an original 2576 Seamaster dial.
    The one below I sent back to the seller last week....

    Thanks Reiner :)
    The one you pictured here actually has a dial design more similar to the 2576 posted on the Omega Database. Still, these models came with many dial variations.
    Here's a clearer picture of mine:

    Direct inspiration for the London Olympics homage piece (and the vintage original has better balance in the dial design):

    +1 on that one definitely, Mike!
    I guess another inspiration would be this 2518 listed recently on ebay (which I sadly missed because it was snatched immediately :( )

    It was suddenly "un-listed" and on contacting the seller he confirmed it was already sold, probably off the seller's online site "FashionAceDesigns.com"
