    My first Omega and my first vintage watch has just arrived after waiting for about 6 months. I have been looking for a dark chocolate tropical dial pre-moon with matching hands. As you guys know, it's quite a challenge to buy a tropical dial since sellers edit images to make it "tropical." Although I didn't purchase this on OF, I would like to thank those members who have generously shared their knowledge and advice! I am absolutely stunned by the beauty of this watch!!! Here are the pictures and hope you'll enjoy them (none of these are edited)!

    Nice one!

    Wondering if you want to have it polished one more time? To get it back in shape?

    What do other members think about this?

    Would myself seriously doubt in this case..

    @emilio I was thinking of that, but not sure how valuable will it be since its already quite thin from over-polishing... I'll wait for others' opinions...

    That is a very nice looking watch. I am quite new to all things Speedy but have to say, there's something about the aesthetics of them. They really are arguably one of the, if not the, best looking watches around.

    Incredible dial with stunning patina all round - personally, I wouldn't touch the case.
