Thought I'd buy another Rolex, ended up with this Omega

I was looking at a couple of 18k Rolexes (telling myself it was an investment in gold) and I even bought one but then the sale unwound when it got tied up in Customs for 10 days...and delivery was taking too long so I canceled the whole deal. I've also always liked the Omega Constellations but never found one that made me say yes. That was until yesterday. Ran into this and I immediately knew that it was the right one. On its way from the UK...and yes it does qualify as "gold"...it is 18k with the 551 movement. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

I also like it as a great way to buy gold...more usable than just a coin or piece of bullion...and as such, better for barter if that becomes necessary. But most of all, I also like gold watches...and this one is going to be on my wrist a lot.

 

All special and different. Wonderful toys to spend hours admiring. Small race cars for your wrist.

 

And while I was buying the Omega, I was also looking at this watch...which I finally bought this Saturday. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
