Beauties.... both of them. Vintage Omegas really strike a chord with me.

And I have to say Omega does mesh better than anyone else IMO. The mesh is the only way to wear a Ploprof IMO, and on these vintage peices it looks superb.

Ugh... I just sold mine like three weeks ago to a gentleman in Norway because I needed the money... :cry:

Business closed for two months for remodeling + tapping into the savings = BROKE

But very nice pieces... I had the regular one myself... that patina on yours looks beautiful Tom... they're actually very heavy watches, but feels so solid on the wrist... and that Lemania movement is sublime...

Thanks Tozzle... to be honest though as much as I enjoyed the MK II I was a bit more particular to the actual moon model. (round case) of course with the same movement though. They usually demand a bit more on the market than the MK IIs but nevertheless I think the Mark IIs are highly underrated models and offer a lot of value for the money.
