As for deals, picking up the new Ed White 321 as soon as I can make it down to my Omega boutique and picked up a cool neo-vintage piece this week which should arrive tomorrow. Long story, but I have created a subgroup in my collection which focuses on Independents and high-end Swiss manufacturers who have used the Lemania 2310 (2310 / CH27) caliber. So essentially looking for certain pieces which fit into this theme 😉
