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...

vukotab · 9 March 2008, 08:16 PM

Blue Speedy,you `ve seen it before!

vukotab · 9 March 2008, 08:18 PM

And here `s the yellow one...

buz-lh · 9 March 2008, 08:20 PM

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.

vukotab · 9 March 2008, 08:21 PM

And now...Ladies and Gentlemen...MOONWATCH!

frostie · 9 March 2008, 09:01 PM

Luminor · 9 March 2008, 09:28 PM

etp095 · 9 March 2008, 10:12 PM

I'd like to have a moonwatch,that was a good trade.

Nick Stenov · 9 March 2008, 10:41 PM

Good luck with them

Regards

Nick

JimSnyder · 9 March 2008, 10:51 PM

A Schumacher and a Moon watch. How could you not trade;Jim

roadcarver · 9 March 2008, 11:35 PM

Love the moonwatch!

mike · 10 March 2008, 12:27 AM

Congrats.

The Speedmaster is such an historic watch.

Paulie · 10 March 2008, 02:19 AM

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.

lithium5 · 10 March 2008, 02:25 AM

Thats a great trade. I love those speedmasters...

haakon59 · 10 March 2008, 02:28 AM

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.

Tools · 10 March 2008, 02:29 AM

Very nice trio...

Joey_V · 10 March 2008, 02:30 AM

I really like them Speedmasters. I wanna buy from your AD also... dang...

Maybe if he has some left I could have a piece of the action too?

Coastal1 · 10 March 2008, 02:54 AM

Great trade....Love the the yellow one and the wonderful Moon watch.

timackerman · 10 March 2008, 03:35 AM

Sounds like you got yourself a good trade there

jasonbellevue · 10 March 2008, 04:03 AM

Nice looking Omegas, Vukota. Sorry to hear about the Expy II, but i'm sure you will get your hands on another Rolex. .

krattzz · 10 March 2008, 04:13 AM

Smart trade as you can sell two and your on your way to another Exp.

Exactly, keep the Moonwatch and flip the other two.

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...

Perdu · 10 March 2008, 11:28 AM

You certainly like bright colors. Very nice trio and excellent watches. I love my Omega, it gets most of my wrist time.

mailman · 10 March 2008, 07:10 PM

Nice deal Vukota

Enjoy them all

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 March 2008, 10:18 PM

Congrats, Vukota!

Great looking Omegas!

vukotab · 10 March 2008, 11:48 PM

Thanks,guys!You really know how to ease the pain(of letting go my Expy,of course)!
I`ll stick with Omega for awhile,and than...I guess I`ll be back to Rolex!

puffnmo · 11 March 2008, 04:30 AM

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.

JBat · 11 March 2008, 05:17 AM

Congrats on the watches, Vukota. I think you got a helluva deal.
