Nice Fred, are they yours? They look like they’ve come out of a time capsule!

Thanks guys!

Yeah they are both mine and just realized this morning they are both from the same production era without intending to buy from that year. Pretty cool pieces for sure.

I have the Omega in the market and thinking to use the proceeds to justify buying the 16800. Now, the more I look at it, the more they really do belong together.

Both great watches , but the Omega is the standout one to me & love the mixture of gold tones against the steel.

Sir, I would never sell that Omega were it mine. It is a really beautiful work of art.
