Thanks for the advice Mark, I looked into pricing before I bought this one; and, even bought a used one (SMP)from Wingates, whitch however, I had to return because the movement and serial #'s did not match. (I felt that I should've been told of that BEFORE I purchased it.) But I, being impulsive that I am, wanted to have one the same day that I wanted one, went and paid a little bit more than i should have. But I agree with you, It was worth every penny. I love this watch. It is my second Omega that I own. I don't know if I will ever buy another one; this SMP will last longer than I....
