That's a very nice blue dial. Did you get this one w/the deployant buckle or did you get the buckle later/separately?

The gator strap and depolyant came with it. I wore it for a very short day or two, then took it off and they've been in the box ever since. Got an aftermarket strap with a 14 mm buckle on it now. The buckle will probably be plated to match my turtle lug's color gold and used on that strap.

The difference is I won't torture him for months and not sell. 馃槣 Although, you did show a chink in the armor with the caliber 712.

I don't call it torture, it's enhanced interrogation. 馃榿

Not that I'm trying to add fuel to the fire, but that one wears very well. Shoots a good picture too, but nobody looks at watch pictures where it was published. 馃槣

Might be sooner than you think - unless you want first crack. PM me if you do.


Thanks for the offer mate. As much as Id love to have a crack, the watch fund is still officially in recovery mode after the Rolex Sub purchase. 馃檨

My AD knows I want it, he's given me a price, now I just have to go leave a deposit for him to order it. If not for the Centenary 2500 I would have already done this.

The new AT's are indeed lovely but I have two small concerns. Does anyone know the case thickness? I sold on a PO 8500 as it was too large and heavy, so a 38.5 mm AT is appealing so long as it's not too high. The other is the stumpy hour hand which I find off putting and unnecessary, it's not as if they had to distinguish it from the minute hand with its broad-arrow. A completed fine point would IMO have been more elegant and just as practical.

... and here's the Jezebel causing the problem:

10051


I tried the silver dialed version of this watch at the Omega Boutique in NYC a couple years ago. It fit really well. The problem is that I don't want 2 modern watches with blue dials, which means the Portofino would have to go. It's a rock steady performer and an excellent watch - but the siren's call of the caliber 8500 is getting stronger. Might have to make a trip to my AD soon to see if something can be worked out. I've always said that if Omega came out with a blue dialed version of the 38.5 mm AT I'd own one so it might be time to put my money where my mouth is.

Did you eat the apple she offered you? LOL

Uh huh. I'm in "buy" mode now. Wait a few months til I take stock of what I have and see what stays and what goes.

..... but don't get your hopes up. 馃榿
