Patience Pays Off
With the looming price increase, I had been talking to my (Fr. John's) AD about another watch, a 3570, which is the only "new" Omega that has been calling to me for the past few years. One thing that has kept me from pulling the trigger has been some reported QC issues with the new productions, so I had been waiting around patiently for a nice pre-loved one, when this beauty happened along: a mint 1974 cal 861, with the original bracelet, provenance from the Omega archives, and purring from a fresh overhaul by Shane Ede, watchmaker to Chuck Maddox himself. Sometimes the stars just align!
