Congrats Greg, I know you have been waiting on getting these back for along time now. What strap is on that 2577 hobnail?

That’s a custom strap from Artisan. Golden dyed alligator.

I want to put in a shameless plug for my friend and fellow OF member Niko a/k/a TheGreekPhysique. Niko is actually the guy who found and sold me the Constellation - pretty much tailored to exactly what I was looking for and then some. A nicer guy and a more trustworthy seller you could not find. If Niko posts something for sale, pay attention because chances are that you’re going to get a very nice watch, accurately described, at a very fair price. He’ll always treat you right. Niko, thanks, my friend. You hit one out of the park with this Connie.

Nice trio! How did you manage to keep the hobnail out of the hands of @MtV?
Actually, I got it not from but through MtV from another seller. Matt must have been having a weak moment and took pity on a hobnailess friend.

LOL, I feel the same way about MtV, Cristos and a bunch of other guys here. I’m at the amateur collector level compared to them.
Excellent rationalization!😉

Yeah, not sure what got into me there.

Oh, wait, actually I do: You’ve been wanting one. Even Niko approached me and asked me to forward one to you as you were the nicest person. I agree with that sentiment. So there you go. I do have dibs on it though, I believe. 😁

I remember I put a dibs on one. I just can’t remember which one. 👎

Let me know and I'll be sure to add them to the spreadsheet properly.

Three beauties. I just received two back from my watchmaker today, but have to pass them on to their owner, my daughter's partner. Still I was excited to receive the Omega "Dirty Dozen" and the Carter tank that I had serviced for them.
