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

Those are two great looking watches. The Seamaster is really classic looking
