Decision made
Have been contemplating a new addition for quite a while and finally found one that "trips my trigger."

Just received an email from my favorite dealer confirming the order.

I have no idea when it might arrive but over the years, I've learned that patience is the greatest virtue of WISdom.

I honestly have no idea when it will arrive. I've been through this before when I ordered my FOIS that was introduced at Basel 2012. It took 10+ months to get that one.

The FOIS was worth the wait and this one is as well.

UPDATE!

Jim called this evening to say that my watch is not in SwatchUSA inventory so had to be special ordered from Bienne.

Patience, patience.

I thought that Jim was retired. It's good to know that he's still doing business.

His 50 days in the hospital and extensive rehab put him behind schedule liquidating his extensive inventory.

If anyone is in the market for a new Omega at a closeout price, give him a call.
