Omega PO - I may need to negotiate a fraction to bring it back within budget!

I'd break it and have an Explorer for £200 more.

I would be looking for a PAM01392. It might have to be Grey market or used to sneak on the £5k though.

New Omega Seamaster Diver Co-Axial (Blue) : 210.30.42.20.03.001
Probably get 1 for around £3500 so enough left for a CW, Farer or similar.

Pre-owned, black gloss dial SMPc and GS SBGR087. That'd do me nicely.

Meanwhile back on planet earth, I'm struggling to comprehend parting with money for a cheap strap, nevermind 5k :lol:
