A few new purchases

As some may remember, my home was burglarized a while back and all but one of my watches was taken.

Over the last month I have started to rebuild my collection. Slow going so far, but I am making a bit of progress. I haven't been on much lately so I figured I would post up a few pictures of my new pieces. Still looking to get another GMT II C, and perhaps a yacht master within the next month or two.
The Omega needs a good cleaning and servicing so it has not seen any wrist time yet.

I like the first and last one!

What's the reference of the first?

The first is a 15200. I like it as well. I am already thinking of selling the 3rd one down, w/ the aftermarket dial. I really liked it for the first few days, but not so much now.

Like the white dial Omega but don't care for the bracelet, so much. The pearl dials always look great to me in the jewelry case but less so on the wrist.

Have you got a grail watch that you've always lusted after but couldn't stretch the money to?
With the insurance money, this would be a perfect time to get your grail!

I'm not sure on the "grail". My dream watch changes by the day! I thought about a DD platinum, but for that kind of money, I could get several various models. I am seriously leaning towards just getting a GMTII-C, and perhaps a nice Patek.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I like the Seamaster. Great looking dial. I think it'll be a beauty after a service and cleaning.

Wow! Great gift from an obviously great woman.
I think she deserves a nice dinner out tonight.
