I sold my SMP Chrono bond, and my CA was taken away from me needlessly.

I did some research on the next one that I want, and I like the Omega SMP with the 3301 movement. I like the evenness of the dial, and the date sits well above the 6 o'clock marker.

This time, did more of my research of the seller and it is Mike White of TZ, numerous folks have vouched for him as well as folks at watchnet. Ed Loebl also vouched for him so that's a good sign.

Waiting for the wire transfer to go through and hopefully get this puppy next week. The watch is identical to the one below except for the AC version. I didn't get to upload the photos of the watch that he sent me, but will update tonight.

Best of luck, Vernon!

Omega makes a pretty watch.

More photos...

Really cool photos, Vernon!

Although I can HONESTLY say that I like the plain Rolex casebacks, I think some of the ones you see on Omegas and Breitlings are beautiful. It just adds something to the look of the watch...even though the caseback is rarely seen by anyone other than the owner, the necessary can still be elegant.

Beauty Vernon! Big congrats buddy!

I'm a big fan of Omega's sword hands.
