Thanks to the input and peace of mind I got
here, I picked mine up yesterday. It reeks of class and for a watch that is 48 years old it looks stunning. It is the only watch I own and I am absolutely delighted with it. I put the Omega stainless steel strap in storage, and went with black leather for everyday use.
As it happens I was in Grogan's having a pint just after buying it, and revisited these forums for the first time since November. Seeing the love for c-shape on this thread decimated any prospect of buyers remorse I might have experienced. So thanks everyone.
Having never heard of him two days ago and knowing next to nothing about good watches, I am now Gérald Genta's biggest fan and will fight anyone that says he is not the most important watch designer of modern times
