Thats some some collection!

And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

I wasnt in to Omegas, but recently this piece grown on me, i almost buy it, but thats a lot of cash so im still considering...
the Omega Planet Ocean 45,5, with the 8500 movement, thats my grail

Biggest stop, except the value is that i saw lots of 2nd hand models with marks on the ceramic insert (wtf) and on the outside AR coating
which is a big damage for such watch...

My favorite Omega is the: Grey Side of the Moon, but I doubt I'd ever shell out the $10-$12k they want for it.

The Omega I'm most likely to buy is the: First Watch in Space
