Beautiful! I just bought the same reference in February. I sold the leather it came on because I didn't like the 20mm to 16mm taper and bought a 20/18 brown leather from the OB. Don't want to take it off! Enjoy it!

Here she is gents. Very pumped right now. Again, appreciate the feedback from you all.

These boxes are getting out of control.

Congrats. I think once you wear it, you won't even think about the reference debacle, but I see where you are coming from.

Agreed, however, I have seen several people convert the suitcase box into a pretty neat watch box. The exterior padded packaging the suitcase sits in is just a silly waste of materials on Omega’s part

@NorthLaw don’t forget to lift out the suitcase. There is (should be) a neat picture book covering Omega’s history with NASA under it.

Well the .001 and .005 are the same watch just one on the strap and deployant the other with SS bracelet. Too bad you couldn't get the watch sent to you with both so you have the choice. I bought the .001 pre owned and then bought the steel bracelet. I have both strap and bracelet but prefer the bracelet. As many have pointed out here same watch. For completeness, you can always acquire the strap and deployant down the road.

The box is definItely cumbersome. It’s somewhat neat to have, but imagine it will lose it’s novelty shortly.

the pictures posted by @Scarecrow Boat are really neat. Thanks for sharing these. And I did pull out that picture book - very cool.
