Incoming!

Always wanted one. Finally picked one up. Automatic, clean bezel, flawless crystal, immaculate bracelet... plus, look at all those mini fried eggs :)

yeah that's some great patina. Looks like a brand new bezel insert too. Do the hour markers still glow?

Original bezel with pip patina that matches plots and hands

Ever so slightly. A mild minty green!

Great watch. I had the GMT version but my wife stole it. Do you know approximately what year it’s from?

Sadly, no. It has a 4.9 million serial number, and an omega logo on the HEV, if that helps. 1995-96 maybe?

Congrats! Great Choice. I've been noticing the iconic SMP for a long time and finally decided I needed one a few months ago... Enjoy!!...

A gem! With a gem bracelet! Almost the perfect go-anywhere, do anything piece!

And brings back memories of 14 year old me playing Goldeneye for the N64
