Walking home from a newly discovered restaurant last night my 12 year old daughter suddenly shouted - "Daddy look, Omega!!!".
I looked in the direction she was pointing and sure enough about 100 meters down an alleyway was a big Omega neon sign.
I said to my wife and my mother to keep walking and that I'm just going to have a quick look and will catch up with them in a few minutes.
My two daughters decided to come with me "Just to make sure that daddy does not buy any new watches."
As this is a small shop, pretty much in suburbia of Taipei down a small alley, I was very surprised to find out that this is actually an Omega Authorized Dealer.
Whilst wondering around my sharp eyed daughter points out again - "Daddy, a moon watch!."
That's pretty much the end of the story. Half an hour later, I walked out from the shop with this, NOS, first owner, new watch warranty and the best discount on the 2004 list price I ever got on any new watch!!! Out off this world !!!

Congratulations!! There's nothing better than a great deal on a great find. You're acquiring quite the collection the last few months. This will look great with your Bond SMP.

Congrats! That is one sweet Omega! On a side note, it's funny, when I am watching the car auctions on TV or in a jewelry store my three year old daughter always says, "Daddy, you can buy that one!"

Very nice indeed! And NOS too - fantastic! One thing though - I never know why Omega leatherette boxes never seem to last over time. I've seen loads where the surface seems to disintegrate over time. Weird....\

Anyway - great watch!

Very impressive. Congratulations. I have to work on being more spontaneous -- it's hard for me to imagine an impulse watch buy. I envy those of you who can do it.
