"Rested in the safe..."

Älmost sounds like an out of sight out of mind kind of a situation.

I have watches that I hardly wear but I do check on them, maybe strap them on for a few minutes, admire, then return them to the box. But to not have any sort of interaction with them for a really long period of time, it's usually a good sign to let it go.

I suppose the question is what's holding you back.

For me it's usually just plain old laziness to sell.

Also, the Cronometro is up to the task of filling that void if and when you let it go. I don't think you'll even miss it as they're both bi-compax. You can strap on the Omega if you miss the date smile

Best, Echi

Without CP2 in your collection I would say keeper with CP2 not so

It certainly has it's appeal but date is very strange here...not on Zenith position and taking lot of space Cheers D
