In Response To: Re: OUCH......! ()

Hi Derek.......nope, i didn't pay a $800-$1000 premium for the gold in the links! Fact is, i bought the watch used and only paid $1,000 total for it. That included a new Omega full servicing and the watch runs and looks like new! A retired doctor owned it, and his estate was selling off.

Guess i can't expect a bargain for the links too. LOL

I'll be patient and find some eventually.....

thanks Derek,
