Just landed...
I haven't posted in awhile but just made my first vintage purchase ever (thanks to Achova).
It's not a Rolex but I am already quite please with the new buy. It's a late 1960s Omega Pre-Moon Speedmaster with the cal. 861 movement. It's in great shape and I took it off the bracelet to put on a horween strap (originally purchased for my sub-c, though they didn't go well together). I have to admit that I now have the vintage bug and will probably only purchase those now. Hello Red Sub... I've included my Sub-C here so that there's some Rolex content.

A must in every collection......Congrats
Now you just need to get a Thomas Preik sapphire case back to show off that beautiful 861 movement. You won't be disappointed

 I bought my Thomas Preik case back last year, I think it set me back around $150. Canadian, we don't have to pay the VAT (tax) here, nice piece of work, worth every penny imo.
