Pro II Bracelet Clasp Marking
Been trying to take one of those nearly impossible photos without a Macro lens, so sorry for the photo quality. This Pro 2 bracelet just came in on a new watch I acquired, all of the markings (date and model) are where they should be, and are appropriate, however the stamping on the clasp look off to mepared to my others they seem a little deeper/wider and not as clear... My others are Colt models so maybe the slightly narrower clasp creates a crisper lettering illusion. There is no bleed through on the stamping whatsoever on the backside.Does anyone see anything that I should be worried about, or am I just being too picky and looking for things?

Omega archive extract... Not available in U.S.?

Hardly anyone would argue on that. Gorgeous ...highly sort after dial with an in house movement. SE to 750 pcs. However, many are worried about the future value as there are already many cali dial were made before this, especially the PAM 249 being the original. Thus, some might still prefer the PAM 249 if/when the price of PAM 448 goes up to the same as PAM 249. Only + points that lure collectors towards PAM 448 are, lower SE number. 750 pcs comparing to PAM 249's 1936 pcs. In house movement of course, and thicker case thus more beefy looks. Bottom line is, there are still PAM 249 in its way.PAM 449 Besides the looks (either you love it or hate it), it is the 1st prototype of an SLC dial with blue hands. The only reason stopping you from buying this is probably again, the dial/looks of the watch. Ot
