Bottom side lugs are an issue too. I think however it was reflected in price. I am just hopeful hands can be purchased from Omega.

The bottom of the lugs (and the crown it seemed, in photos) looked a bit soft, but not too bad. The hands are available from Omega, I checked while considering bidding 馃榾

Really excited for you, man!

Cool on the hands, I am still waiting to hear back from the San Diego OB, so this is great news!

And yes on the lugs, thought the same. But the additional pics he sent were more favorable, than the ones he had posted on eBay. He is over nightng me the watch, so I will share pics once it arrives.

WoWoWoW! I hope you have the pinky-ring (and necklace(and Magnum-PI shirt with chest-curls)) to balance that! Awesome...

I will try to source a gold bracelet and then I will be ready to rock the pinky ring and gold necklace.

Don't forget the little gold spoon charm for your necklace 馃檮

And now the whole Decades collection?

Well yes and no. Decades collection has some overlap, and I need to finalize the list. But there will still be some adjustments.

1960s - Ed White (might make sense to sell this and buy a Mark 2 racing, as those are awesome, but could be a challenge finding a 60s era watch)
*1970s - Mark 3 in Blue (but may go with the Straight Writing, as I just love the look of the SW I have)
1980s - 20th Anniversary (not really thrilled with this one, but the bracelet is awesome. And if I go w/SW, it is redundant)
*1990s - Gold Skeleton (WOW!)
*2000s - Gemini 4, best LE speedy
*2010s - CK2998, amazing!

* permanent members of the Decades Collection

Once I finish the Decades Collection, I plan commission an artist paint the six watches.

But no pics yet, as I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and I left the watch for safe keeping with an OF member that also owns a couple of gold speedies. 馃榾

Giving? Hmm, I don't recall that part of the conversation... I think I said "rent".

Since I get to babysit this watch until @Taddyangle returns from his travels, I've already come up with the following excuses for why he won't be getting it back

1. Lost it in a boating accident
2. Traded it for hookers and blow. Sorry bro, I'll make it up to you
3. "This isn't the watch you're looking for" as hand waves in the air Jedi style

This watch is so sick, on the bracelet its just ridiculous. Omega sells the right hands (18k yellow gold w/ black lume) for reasonable cost, they have the gold bracelet too, not so reasonable cost. Watch timed just fine, decent amplitude. Slap the new hands on it, and its good to go. Damn this was a steal, seriously.
