I am on the lookout for a Omega Darth Vader (reference 145.023). Amazing watch and would be a great addition to my Omega Anakin Skywalker. Only saw it for sale twice but both pieces were quite bad so I did not make an offer.

Really impressive collection. I see you have two Mark IIIs pictured - wasn’t aware they are considered pilot watches. Will have to look into it further or is there a link you can provide?

Thanks Paddy. I don't know if pilots used the MK III for flights - I just love the pilot case design.

This was my grail for a few years…. The lugs and condition had me.

The seller in the end buckled (the monthly PM asking might have had a bit to do with it)

A good condition 105.012-65, not unlike this one ...



until I can acquire one, I'll make do with this 145.012-67.

I was very surprised to see this pop up at a local second-hand shop and it was an instant crush, green lume and all. My favorite vintage SM300 bezel/dial/hands combo belongs to this 165.024-64. Unfortunately for me, we couldn't come to a price agreement, and it was sold many months later. Apologies for the bad pic.

Always wanted an auto Polaris Titane. Have a quartz but that didn't cut it. 2021 was good to me. Found not 1 but 2 Titanes. Happy me😀. Not easy in Singapore where it's like what is an Omega Titane?

My grail doesn't officially exist, but I feel like she's out there, I want a purple spider 168.017

They did so many colours, so why not a purple one - I hope it's a color to white gradient, rather than a black to color one, as my rendering of a dark variation is quite hard to look at 😁

A variation on this might be my grail. White gold c-case, wg rivet bracelet; ideally just the date version. Almost no-one but me would know it wasn't the steel case...

Somebody on the Dutch watch forum bought one. Thinking it was steel but only found out after receiving it it was WG

1000M.
Should have grabbed one years ago when they were a bit more affordable. Oh well.

A 2254.50 that is here in Canada that I can buy with Canadian dollars.

I'd admit I would even buy the quartz model !

Speedmaster 125 - the looks may not be to everybody's taste but I love 'em. First automatic chronograph to achieve chronometer rating. And, albeit unofficially, a space watch with some pretty significant time aloft with the Soviet/Russian space program. This is a tool watch to be reckoned with.

Grail status achieved.
