So, this is my first vintage Omega purchase. Given my OCD, I thought I would hate the patina and would want to flip it in short order, but I've really grown to love it! The patina actually gives a gravitas or something, like it has a story. This old Connie keeps great time and it's light as a feather on my wrist! I live in the Tropics so no longer wearing my heavy duty, modern Tissot is liberating. I shudder to think of the effect the humidity is having on my new love though!

LE 2998 on the new NATO. All day Saturday. I'll roll it out next for major US Holidays. Maybe an occasional UK bank holiday. (Which always seemed to happen when I needed to go to a bank. )

I'm good now. They used a medical super glue to close it the doctor said it was clean cut through and through couldn't use stitches cuz it's at the bend of my thumb. The real pain in the arse is the splint they put on my thumb
Good to hear that you're good now...and to feel even better, I recommend chugging numerous XL coffees at your nearest Dunkin' Donuts. Happy 48th and I hope your 49th is better! 馃憤
