Omega Seamaster Pro Chrono (incoming)

I used to have the 2594.50 Omega AC Chrono and sold it. Like all us watch afficionados, we have seller's remorse later on or right after it.

I had that remorse and started to look for it again. Found one, w hich was the non AC model 2594.52, pulled the trigger from a reputable TZer.

This watch is no longer in production and it was hard to find it, and I got lucky when the seller posted the watch at the time that I was looking for one.

Going to be shipped out tomorrow, now for the hard part... the waiting game

Cool. I like the bracelet/sword hands vs the bond setup-although I've warmed up considerably to the bond bracelet and handset. Don't really see them too often so nice grab.

This is one the nicest looking chronos out there, IMO, but the problem is that they tough to find since they've been discontinued. What a shame that OMEGA replaced this with the ugly (IMO) current version and its inferior and less desirable movement too.

If you're talking about the POC, it uses the 3313 movement which actually has had less issues than the AC SMPC with its 3303 movement.

I was referring to the Valjoux SMP chronograph.
