    after playing with the bullheads and mark II and sm300 and ploprofs...I had developed a new interest in vintage...

    came across this one in just impeccable condition ... And couldn't resist!

    I can't image that they will bring this one back...
    but it is actually really handy in pulse taking and driving...

    and such a special piece of Omega history...

    I just love it ...


    it does make me wonder what the next vintage model to get the modern treatment will be...

    I'm more keen to get that new SM300 than any modern Omega ever made, totally love it, as cool as the CK2913 is you can't dive with it anymore or get it beat up, the new one is perfect as a daily wearer

    And you do not have to worry if it has a refinished dial.

    Since wearing vintage, I've been giving everyone that Grumpy old man fist shake....just can't help it.

    I imagine there's been some fading , but From what I've seen, the original hand and logo were more of an orangy red...not like the modern deep red.

    I just can't see myself engraving the clasp like "Jack" here....
