I am not averse to the homage thing - I had an O7 LM-7 as you will remember. It sure generated a lot of comments from non-WIS and WIS alike, but I just got tired of explaining to people that it was a great watch, based on the wonderful original Omega. Resolution to self - get the original!
WISdom is a funny thing, murph - I like that you get in on the original batch, I like that you get time to save (but you lose the use of the dosh up front, because there is still a "maybe" from Bill Yao about building it in the first place...), and I genuinely believe that the MKII 300, when completed, is bound to be a terrific one and be at least the equivalent of the very nice Precista version. I would still love to see pics of it when it hits your wrist and I think no less of people who are going to be buying it. After all - some say that MKII is at least as good as the original in many circumstances! And on the MKII - I bet the lume will be bountiful, unlike the many fakes and oldies that are out there in the market!
Otherwise - the new MKII 300 will be a fine watch, no doubt, murph - and you'll still be justifiably as proud as hell when it arrives.
Thanks for allowing me to comment! IanM hand6.gif
