I wanted an Omega Speedmaster from the very beginning of my watch collection and after doing my research I decided that I would wait for the Holy Grail of Speedmasters - ST 376.0822 Speedmaster Automatic Calibre 1045 with Day-Date display.
After looking "high and low" through my local watchsmith, AD and the internet and 15 watches later, I came across Chronocentric.com (Thanks Chuck Maddox) and I posted a question on the Omega forum concerning my frustration over its scarcity: Chuck quickly reminded me that its scarceness is why it is the "Grail."
However, through Chronocentric.com I was informed of a possible Grail sighting in Austria and on January 24, 2007 I said, "Yes - Please send me the info." After receiving the info and after recovering from sticker shock I said "yes" and bought the watch from a fellow Omega collector in Austria - Thanks HP. Also thanks to SW for the intro and logistical assistance.
The watch was picked up in Innsbruck by a home town friend working in Zurich and was delivered to me yesterday evening – thanks DP. DP is also a big Omega fan so I am grateful that he decided to return with the watch.
Unfortunately it is a dark and rainy day here making pictures a little difficult; however, here are some preliminary shots – I will post more later.
