Icon10 Incoming!!!!

(Well sort of). . . Seems like a new watch. My trusty 13 year old Speedy has (finally) come back from service. When it went it was battered and bruised (and running a staggering 7 minutes fast a day following an accident on the squash court). Now it's like new:

Nice new Sunglasses Case:

All wrapped in plastic:

What they did for my £430. . .

Wow, great condition for a 13-year old watch or did Omega wave their magic wand over this one?
Anyway, lovely watch- wear in good health.
Reminds me of my TT Omega Triple Date.

Great looking one! You do not see that many good looking white dial watches and she is very nice!

Thanks for your kind words. My understanding is that it was made for the Japanese market (it's ref 3511.20 - example HERE). I saw it back in 1999 in Ernest Jones' window in Croydon and it was love at first sight. Sadly, it got less and less wrist time as I moved through the Rolexes but I have to say I'm delighted with the job they've done of it! It really has been restored to its former glory!
