In addition to that Rolex GMT Master, I've been looking at these Omega Speedmaster 125 models. They were struck in 1973 to celebrate Omega's 125th anniversary. This thing is huge, especially as a vintage, at 42mm wide and a whopping 51.5mm lug to lug. Its mass comes in at 182.9 grams. The movement is the Omega (Lemania) 1041 automatic chronograph/chronometer. I'm setting my sights on one, but it'll have to be a bargain because they've been selling for $3000 or more.

Boy oh boy Tom. This one's IMPRESSIVE TOO ! That dial is just the BEST with the way the hands, markers, and sub-dials are. It's the case shape that sets this watch apart from other watches though. INCREDIBLE stuff sir !!! ..Don't think there are too many bracelets, or links that look like this either Tom. Wow, what a grail sir !

Oh dear, this poor man has lost his marbles. Either that or he knows exactly how crazy he is. Combination of both?
