So what do you think?

I'm so sorry Mr Marcus09.The nicknames or monikers Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker have already been taken and was coined by the late great Chuck Maddox ,an Omega watch collector and an expert in vintage chronographs in the late 70s .
The Omega Seamaster chronograph Ref 145.0023 Calibre 861 black ceramic-like coated steel case is known as Darth Vader and the polished tungsten chrome case is of course Anakin Skywalker since " It hasn't turned to the dark side yet.."
Both watches are highly sought after by Omega aficionados and each in good condition can fetch a pretty price tag of around USD 6xxx in today's market
Dont even think of pinching the Jedi nicknames too...[emoji6]
