Hey guys. A while back I posted that I thought I had lost interest in watches. Nothing out there left to get.

To make a long story short, yesterday I went into the next closest big city. An hour away by motorcycle and saw an pre-owned Omega Seamaster 36MM silver dial 2518300. Did a little research and today I own my first Omega.

(I think?)

I am fine with it being quartz, actually prefer it as I am constantly setting my Rolexes that fall out of the rotation.

But bought it mainly because it was too good to pass up. Pre-owned but basically new. Never resized and looks unworn. Bought from a brick and motor store with good reputation. Had the box, manual, and warranty card. Was originally purchased 8-4-05 from another local store. The store that sold me the watch thinks it was a wedding gift that the guy did not want.

Out the door for $400 USD.

I'm sure it will get worn here and there. Mainly days that I do not feel like wearing a Rolex.

I still think the deal was really too good to pass up but...

Not sure if I did the right thing. Advice or opinions welcomed.

or

Smart move or should one of my friends get a nice watch for their next Birthday?

Maybe I should just get rid of another of my other watches.

Cheap as chips very good price,not much in a brand name watches today, you can
get for around £220.

For $400 bucks you'd be crazy NOT to buy it. You did well, now don't go giving that AT away.

Hey there Mr. K if you don't like it I'd be happy to take it off your hands

, we spoke yesterday about that watch on some other board and I think you made a great choice. Keep it unless you WANT to sell it to me.

Mr. K · 27 August 2005, 07:55 AM
