So far I like what I see, especially the clean lume on dial and hands

Show us more pictures after you have it in hand

These are wonderful watches and I think you found the most desirable dial scheme
The 861 movement is less fussy than 321.
Enjoy!!

I've had some stressful things happen in my life lately, so when I saw this auction pop up, I was determined to win it. My wife calls it "retail therapy".

Also, this kind of weird coincidence: I'm running 500 miles for a fundraiser. I totaled up my mileage the day the auction was ending and it was 145.16 miles. I took that as a sign that I really needed to win this auction 😂

Yep, never want to ignore the gods when they send you a sign 😂 Congrats and nice pick up!

Went for $3,900, which I feel good about as a user was selling the black dial version here for a similar price here a year or 2 ago. I was tempted to buy that one but am glad I held out for this dial variant and a better time for me to buy as well.

I really liked this one from the thread. Glad you won it, and you'd better post the "after" pics! Or else!

A few pics after a quick polish to the crystal. Hoping to drop it off for a service this weekend.

Dropped it off with the only Omega certified watchmaker I know of in my area. It will be a minimum of 3 months until he'll be finished servicing it.

The watch also came with a 1162 bracelet, but it's too short for me. Looks like Uncle Seiko sells link that could work, so I'm going to give that a whirl.
