    Sitting on the very bottom shelf of a case full of IWCs and JLCs. Almost missed it.

    This is a pretty impressive watch shop, it is called JackRoad, been there a few times, bought an Ed White from them some months ago. The gentleman on the right is looking into a case of Pateks, the first 2 watches on the left, bottom row are $250k each. I had to do the math in my head twice, good thing I do not know how to appreciate Pateks.

    The gentleman second from right is looking into the case I found this watch, literally by his feet. Hundreds of Omegas, new and old, in the cases against the wall. I was in search of a 105/145.012, they did not have one. There are a few other watch shop on the same floor, less selection.

    Stunning watch... but I think that it's the modern tribute rather than an original (which I only point out as perhaps other posters think it's a real 68 model).

    Nice pickup. This line is my absolute favorite of Jaeger-LeCoultre's - the Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm, the Polaris, the Deep Sea Chronograph "Vintage" - all beautifully proportioned, wonderful! :thumbsup:
