Two Omegas - Zero Rolex

After flipping a lot of watches the last year (mostly Rolex) - I settled for two Omegas - and I couldn't be happier!
(Even as this means, I have no Rolex for the moment)

Both has been restored close to mint, by my local watchmaker

Seamaster: 1959 (all steel, alligator strap)
Speedmaster Pro: 1978 (GasGasBones strap)

...one for everyday wear, and one for dress


(Graphic and photo by me - except sailboat, and moon surface of course)

Fantastic Omegas you have!
Recently I did almost the same - I traded my Rolex Exp II for three Speedys(one of them is Professional Moonwatch) and I didn`t regret it!

It doesn't matter what you flipped, you ended up with two great examples
