Hard to believe, right... a black dialed chrono.

Maybe we can find somewhere that'll give us a good deal.
2 for the price of... 2 !

I've got to stop by my local favorite watch shop where I've bought most of my Omega's, all of my Maurice Lacroix's, most of my Tissot's, etc, and who happens to be the only boutique dealer in the state that sells the Seiko Ananta line.  I've got my name on the limited edition of the black faced spring drive chrono he has... I want to ask him if he's going to carry the GS line that has just become available in the US.  I'll put your name on the list... 

 

[Ultrainferno]

Now I want one as well

That Blancpain is gorgeous... with a price to match, of course. But I still think that IWC is the best looking of the lot.

@shane55 Hold old is that Omega?

Thanks on the Blancpain
Limited edition of 20. Much more stunning in person than any photo. I'll post more of her later.
 
As for the IWC... It's a classic styling that is simple and elegant.

 

 

 

[revolink24]

Ouch. I would hate to know how much that thing cost you, considering the price of the "standard" Blancpains...

 

[mralexosborn]

Where'd you get the Omega? It is beautiful.

 

[shane55]

@ revolink24.
I try to forget things that are painful.
 
@ mralexosborn.
An old buddy of mine who specialized in this kind of thing...
Yes, it's a bumper. He did an amazing job. If you've never had a bumper, it's a real trip to wear.
 
You know the ETA-7750 wobble? Well it's kind of like that, but you can feel the rotor slam against the bumpers... back and forth. Back and forth. Kind of fun, really.

Oh my God, that thing is beautiful. How much did you get it for?

Sorry Sir... I honestly don't remember. Any guess would be a lie. So I'll lie and guess around $2k. 

 

[Anaxilus]

2k for that is a great deal.  That's timeless and probably my favorite of your collection personally.
