Barn find
x-post from the omega forum (from July) where I initially asked for some more info about the following watches:This weekend I visited my parents when I noticed a speedmaster in my fathers watch box that I did not see before.Below you find the pictures. It still works and the dial and hands appear to be in great condition. My father told me he got it from my uncle some years back.

New Liquid Ocean
My first post so hello everyone. Joined this forum as I wanted to buy a Rolex as my first high end watch.But after looking around this Omega thread I was mightily impressed with the new Omegas especially the PO,s. Was on the verge of buying Rolex when I ventured into my local Omega AD and what did I see.. A brand new Liquid Ocean. They had been waiting one year for it and it only recently arrived. Nothing I have seen lately ( and I have seen pretty much everything up to my price point ) comes close to this. I am well happy as I thought they would all be gone..... Would post pics but my blackberry did not do the watch justice I,m afraid. to clarify. Managed to source a brand new PO Liquid Ocean 42mm LE for a great price too...
