Santa did NOT bring me a Rolex !!!
I don't know whose house he thought he was coming to..
 I don't know what to do......he stopped by and left this mechanical wind up watch... Here's a couple of quick snaps....Should I keep it...???       I'll be wearing it around for the rest of the day....you know.....just to break it in a bit...

Whoever got you this watch thought of it carefully and obviously wants you to be happy. Enjoy it and it will pair nicely with a Rolex!
Besides, it's the 50th anniversary Omega. Perhaps you should get an LV to match! MERRY CHRISTMAS

Gorgeous watch I really like those but do not have one yet.
A few weeks ago I bought my Christmas present, a new GMT-IIc. Then I passed down my 1yr old mint SS Dj TOG to my wife for Christmas. She appreciates it just like it was NIB. Maybe I can sell my GMT-II circa 1996 and get one of those Speedmasters...

Hmmm... I dunno, I would be pretty pissed if Santa brought me that instead of a Rolex!
 If I was you I would box it up, and send it to me!   Great watch! Enjoy it

Great Omega, Larry!
I guess we know now whether you've been naughty or nice all year! P.S. Great pix, too.

Congrats and very nice!
I think I forgot to give one of Santa's elves a nice tip, so no watch for me! If I was not aiming for a Rolex, the next choice without a doubt would be a Speedy, perhaps the Apollo 15 commemorative one I saw. C |

if I remember right this is the 1861 movement. A older design that is much better than their current movement. (an automatic 861, I believe).
