Silly purchase of the day

Post by demer03 » Tue Jun 22, 2021 6:09 am

Ok, I readily admit it's odd. However, maybe it's getting older, but nostalgia can be a bitch sometimes.

Quartz....funky...why not?

Not actual pic, previous owners were poor pics.

Yes Mike, why not have fun?! :headbang:

This one is seriously cool here, and almost has a Nautilus/Royal Oak,
Gerald Genta way about. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..But then gives you a mega cool
Omega personality as the icing on the cake. Just is remarkable really !
Not to mention something you just don't see on wrists out there. :salute:
And wow, besides the exceptional design, and look, it evidently has
an unbelievably out of this world movement inside too !

This is one that is not only insanely fun, but also seriously a serious
centerpiece to a collection. A GIGANTIC congrats ahead of time here !!!
