In Response To: Mark II *PIC* ()

: Purchased this new gal a few weeks back but it
: had a rather odd (Omega) bracelet that I
: have never seen before so I swapped it out
: for a 1162/173. This one looks better for it
: is broader at the case and tapers nicely.
: What do you think?

: Happy Holidays to all!!

Hi Jim,

That looks great! the MK II is one of my favourite Omegas & especially the "racing" version.

Thanks for sharing that with us.

I think I've posted it before but the bracelet you have fitted is exactly one of the 2 original Omega bracelet options that I am aware of.

IMHO, The MK II is a great looking watch. I can't understand why it is one of the cheapest Omega Chronos that you can buy. I guess I'll never understand watch prices :-(

I have a MK II project "racing" watch which I have been collecting & modifying parts for, for over 12 months now. What till you see that ! It will blow your socks off !

Have a Safe & Happy Xmas !

Steve
