The Omega SMP AC Chrono ref 2594.50... got it from a reputable TZer, Mike A. White. He's as good as you can get.. true to his word! I'll buy another piece from him in a heart beat.

42mm case dia
SMP Chrono Diver AC version
FP 3303 movement
55 Hr power reserve
Date aperture at 6 o'clock
Pushers work under water

It took me two SMP Chrono Bonds to realize this is the SMP Chrono that I wanted. Lume rocks on this one!

Ooooh soooooooooooo purteeeeee

It's awesome, Vernon, congratulations

Superb Chrono, Vernon. Congrats and wear it in good health, my friend.

Cheers - JJ

Looks great. Congrats!!

Alcan · 24 July 2007, 10:13 PM

Nice going, Vernon.

Any more developments with the watch you got cheated out of?

roadcarver · 24 July 2007, 10:35 PM

Thanks friends for the kind words.

Al, no word yet from the RCMP or the York regional police. I believe this is very low in their priorities. My last hope is paypal, but they've been quiet for the last 3 days.

Very nice! Love the hands! Much better than the skeleton hands, and you will never have any problem reading this watch in the dark!

roadcarver · 24 July 2007, 10:35 PM

CJ, I have the chronograph brother of your SMP! The black dial SMP really looks good in person... now I know why you got yours!

Nice watch. I bought my Patek from the same seller. For the most part I am happy with the purchase and seller.

Congrats and enjoy, it is a beauty.

mickiratt · 25 July 2007, 01:34 AM

Congrats on a fabulous chrono! It looks good on your wrist too.

I also have the Bond style chrono like you had. I've seen the black one in person and honestly, I trade in a minute

It's a great pick-up, I know you're going to love it

mailman · 25 July 2007, 10:09 AM

That's a beauty Vernon

Lots of luck with it and enjoy it in good health

Rubenonfire · 25 July 2007, 10:26 AM

Ahhh.....Omega. What a beauty. Everytime I see one it reminds me how badly I need a Speedmaster in my life.

VERY nice. I actually like the basic Speedmaster Date, with the silver dial. Probably the only chrono I will ever own.

dubyatf · 25 July 2007, 11:47 AM

That rocks! Nice Omega!!

Reference number?
Really like Omega, like many of us, started with them because they are affordable and high grade, even the + 50 year olds.
Apparently in Buenos Aires they sell them (unfortunately NOT the 'Pre' Moons) by the dozen, you know the 'one dollar grab boxes' :) at local second hand markets?
Gonna have a look see soon over there, hopefully I can pick one up below 1000 $.
