Omega Man!
You know that old movie with Chuck Heston,named Omega Man(it`s remake was perhaps last year`s biggest hit,I Am Legend)?
I think that I should change my username for that! Yesterday I traded my beloved Rolex Explorer II WITHOUT box or papers,for THREE Speedmasters!Two of them are brand new,with box,papers,and waranty!!! Here`s the short story:my friend WAS Omega A.D. for last 10 years or more.He looses his license this year and startet to sell watches that are left in storage room.Couple days back I bought from him blue Speedmaster from Schumacher series. And now listen to this:he gave me my money BACK,along with also brand new same model but with SS bracelet and with yellow dial and with ALMOST NEW Speedmaster Proffessional - the legendary Moonwatch! And all that for my Expy! And I did it! I gave him my Expy(without box&papes) for two UNPACKED Speedmasters and one ALMOST NEW Moonwatch! I think that I made very good deal,but I`m sure as hell in one thing:sooner or later I`ll get my hands on another Rollie... |

I can't blame you for that trade. Looks like you picked up some nice pieces which you can always flip and get another Explorer II.

Awesome trade! I think you did the right thing 1000%! Not often does a deal like this come along, especially swapping out a ExpyII with no papers.

It sounds like you got an especially good deal--congratulations! I haven't seen speedmasters with a blue or yellow dial before but they look good--nice collection.

Well,that WAS the idea!
But then again,I couldn`t resist to put on my wrist yellow one and I liked it very much! I`m finishing some serious bussines now,it seems that I`ll be able to get some Rollie sooner than I thought... |

Vuko - A very good trade. Personally, I would hang on to the blue and yellow dials. I couldn't find one if I wanted to buy - so they are rare and collectable IMO.
And, you can always buy another Expy ll. Any time, any place... Larry. |
