Incoming!

It's been a while since I got to say Incoming! Two years ago, I gave my son my 42mm, orange Planet Ocean. It was the 232.30.42.21.01.003 with the 8500 movement. Great watch and I'm glad I gave it to him but, I missed having a Planet Ocean myself. So..... I found one after scouring the For Sale sections of a couple of forums. I found a BNIB for a good price and pulled the trigger. Assuming the transaction happens without a hitch, I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Here's a photo from the listing. I'm looking forward to having an Omega again!

Nice choice! So, you're sitting at the window and watching for the mail carrier for the next few days, eh?
