Re: Well, that doesn' t make me feel any better about it

Hello everyone just wanted to follow up and let you know the situation so far. I asked the seller to let me take the watch to the dealers to see if I could change the inner Dial for one with white numbers not orange as I preferred the all black and white dials over the black with orange numbers dial. He said it was ok as they are very near to each other (few blocks away). The AD confirmed it was a legit PO and that if I could buy it at 2,800 it would be a hell of a deal. So I bought the watch, the AD also said he could change the dial for 280 service included. I will hopefully post pictures of the watch tonight to let you all see. I really like the watch but am still a little uneasy about the orange numbers; would it really be worth the change?

Anyhow; thank you all for your help, I can now say I’m truly addicted to Omegas, now I’m looking to buy one with a Tachymeter!
