New Omega owner

I was looking for a new watch and saw this at my local AD. I very much liked the exhibition case back and have been wanting a GMT for traveling, so this one fit the bill.
I was going to hold out for one of the new PO models but they are hard to find around here and the price was right for this one.

I picked it up new from George (Govberg) and I can't say enough good things about the transaction. It was truly a pleasure to do business with them.

Funny thing is I tried to pick this up from my local AD but they were nasty, rude and in the end lost the sale over $51 (1% of the total).

I am happy to say this will not be my last Omega.

Very, very nice piece. Congrats on the great pick up. It's no different here in Canada, we have AD's that are snotty and rude which is why I bought my Breitling SO elsewhere. It was actually another AD in another city, but they treated me like a valued customer.

I happen to be in San Diego this week, I hope to be able to stop by a dealer or two and check out some different new models, like Panerai and Breitling as well as the new Omega's
Hopefully this will give me a better idea what my next purchase will be.
