Interesting thread for sure...I have the 777807xx featured in the Fratello article so not sure if that is the number you have in your serial list? I sent
@Robert-Jan the pics before I joined the site as a writer.
Funny, I remember seeing the watch at Basel and it struck me. I then looked at it duty free in Heathrow and almost bought it but was torn between it and the normal Pro. Finally, I bought the piece at Ace in Amsterdam.
By the way, I remember when the watch was first shown and people here (everywhere) panned it as another bad Omega edition and a money grab...I agreed! It's funny how the heart grows fond of originally shunned pieces (Explorer 1655 anyone?
)...
It's one of those watches that looked like absolute crap on Omega's own site with the "too bright" lighting, but in person it's a real beauty. I like the dial detail up close...definitely reminds me of something older. Lastly, I'm not a big fan of the current Speedy bracelet. Those little polished links irk me and "steal" from the dial of any Pro but especially the TinTin! The watch looks fab on a black rally strap.
Cool thread...will watch it with interest!
