    Ipuuukshi or whatever their name is are totally nuts with their askings. Their watches on eBay or C24 are always about 50% higher than the average market value, always. Have a look on their other listings and laugh.

    I accidentally visited their shop when I was in Japan back in May. They had a not so nice 145.022-69 on a 1039 band, listed for the equivalent of 12k USD :rolleyes: I was wearing my -69 with a telemeter bezel on leather. I went to the guy and told him I'd leave my watch with him for 8k :taunt: - I mean, 4k for a 1039 would have been a good value, isn't it? - he said nooooo thanks ::rimshot::

    The logo on my buckle is yellow gold.

    I haven’t see one like that yet. So it’s a replacement one?

    I mean no disrespect, but that has to be the ugliest bracelet I’ve ever seen.

    Have had that a bit in the last 5 years. @styggpyggeno1 and @JimInOz :whistling:

    With out a doubt it is soooo comfortable it has to be worn to believed.

    It was the coolest thing in the 90s
    As mentioned it still gets some comments from guys my age as this was the watch everyone wanted in the day. Have a friend who is a real estate agent in QLD that wants to buy it every time I see him.
    Was at a coffee shop a few months ago and had a stunning young lady in line with me comment on it, so :cool:

    Was her comment ‘nice watch grandad, matches your medallion’ ;)

    Jokes aside It’s not the worst I’ve seen and it’s seems Omega at least clearly think TT is on the way back. I too enjoyed the 90s...

    Just sent the money to the seller.
    As mentioned in other thread I may have a DD145022 instead of a 145022.
    So when I see this bracelet I have to buy it because I understood that it is very hard to find .
    I am waiting for the availability of extract to be sure. if it is not a DD i’ll Sell it here on OF to make happy an OF member.
    I know that @kov may be interested about the endlink if someone is interested only about the bracelet that can make two OF member happy.

    People either love 'em or hate 'em, but one thing is clear...everyone has an opinion. And that tells you something.

    Perhaps the worst reaction to a design is total indifference.

    I’ll take pictures tonight.
