A sublime vintage Omega chrono my dear Nicolas. What a dial! I regret so much you couldn´t catch it my dear friend. But I can well understand both what happened and your disappointment...

... as it had happened several times to me.


The old rule "you snooze, you loose" is correct but sometimes even the most experience of collectors doubt and then... ouch! It´s gone!

I hope Lady Luck will give you a new chance with a similar great Omega soon! She is always near us ready to give us a surprise!

Great shots to share this wonderful specimen my dear friend!

Abrazos amigo mio! Abel

Omega CK 2393. Still haunting me.

I tried to find a solution with the seller of this watch to get it, but it was too late... The CK 2393 represents all I like in a vintage chronograph: A superb dial with a lot of soul and charm, a nice case, sublime pushers and an historical movement, the...

I also love that the ink on the dial is still pretty much distinct. Agree with the “snooze and loose” rule ! Too many to count Warmest regards

I am a very deliberate buyer — more experience with fountain pens — and I usually ask myself if I will be truly “sad” if I miss out on a purchase. Actually thinking through that right now with a vintage, but apparently NOS Cartier pen in Europe. It would ...
