Making the plunge...this arrives in about a week!
Great looking Omega, congrats!
Thanks ^, my first automatic and first vintage!
Thanks! Bought it off the bay...here's the specs from the seller
STAINLESS STEEL CASE MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 32MMX42MM, WITHOUT CROWN AND FROM LUG TO LUG
Thanks for that, I'm looking into vintage Omegas. They seem to offer really good value for money. The only problem is that there are so many variations.
Vintage Omegas are nice, but if you're looking at the old classics from their Constellation and Seamaster series, you might want to have an experienced watchmaker/repair guy look it over. Franken movements sometimes make their way into these older watches.
Otherwise, enjoy the chase. These are some the most elegant looking watches around.

I just bought my first navy blazer - an Austin Reed from a thrift/consignment shop for $3.
Got a Bond Omega Seamaster on the way!
I stopped at Goodwill yesterday and got a new looking navy blazer for $6.00 and 2 neck ties for $5.00. I am going to rip the ties apart and use them as day cravats.
Received my new Saddleback thin briefcase in coffee brown.
Some new shoes, Allen Edmonds Neumok and Park Avenue. The Neumok are from a special production run, made with some different leather than the normal offerings. I just received the PA and have not even tried them on yet, still letting the new rubber smell evaporate.
These pictures were taken with flash and the shoes look even better in person. I am posting them together to try and highlight the contrast of appearance of two different shoes built on the same last. It was hard to capture with the camera, but the soles on the Neumok protrude a lot more than the Park Avenue which look more sleeker. And the toe/sole of the Neumok has a steeper upward curve. I know sleekness has been a attribute that some gents are looking for, but these two pair highlighted the point that is also a component of the styling.

I gotta up grade my shoe style.
those tan ones really catch my eye

Just picked up some perfect unworn AE McAllisters in Walnut for $130
Evidently they were a floor model, but seemed to be well cared for, no visible defects either.

nice score!
Those AE's are looking sharp.
2 more belts from Torino Leather (Italian croce calf belt in cordovan and perfed Italian veal in brown). I think that that completes my belt wardrobe unless I get some tan or cognac shoes.
A pair of burgundy (brush-off) wingtips from Hush Puppies (Style Brogue). I couldn't find a better pic - the brush-off is antiqued which gives it some color variation. I'm hoping that they fit well and feel comfortable.
A tin of black Saphir shoe polish.
A pair of travel pants in chestnut from BluffWorks (may they be as nice as the reviews imply) and a wrinkle-free buttondown from Land's End in lavender.
