They dropped it because it didn't sell. I have heard tales of dealers shifting these by reducing them to £250 in the early 2000s. Worth rather more now.

Here's some vintage from the watch box:

And a hummer (although this one sings rather than hums):

Always loved the sunburnt effect of these electric blue dial models

This is how the auto EB SMP looks on an Alligator strap. Not to everyone's taste but it feels great.

Yep I know what you mean, I'm looking online now for an aftermarket Strap for my SMPc as a strap alternative to the bond Bracelet, but I've almost given up and come to terms with the fact it's gonna stay on the Bracelet, definitely not paying what Omega are asking for a rubber tang strap!

A quick repost from the latest Friday thread. Been giving this a lot of love lately :)

Makes me feel sick to post this.

Not just about the value though (although that does sting somewhat), I just wanted to show what I believe to be some nice examples of increasingly rare Omega models. Part of the pain is accepting that it is increasingly unlikely that I will ever bring examples like these into my collection again, irrespective of what I was prepared to pay.

Vintage Speedies are as interesting as Vintage Rolex

All these 2254s make for traumatic viewing. Why god why didn't I keep mine :(
This is my only Omega. Must get a decent picture some day but this will have to do for now!

My longest serving watch.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5c0b48cf1d.jpg
I have an Omega Nato that I picked up a while ago, it seems to be a good pairing with the PO.

Cheers :eagerness: Model no. is 145.017 if you want to look them up. There are a few dial variations to keep things interesting.

My Railmaster has sadly moved to a new home, but to make up for it I picked up this Speedmaster Automatic today.
