My new Omega Chrono!

Greetings all!

I've been lurking around but have'nt posted in a while so here we go... I just picked up my Omega Chrono this past saturday. I had it sent to a mail box place in the US (2 minutes from the border) and after putting it on my wrist (I didn't wear a watch over the border of course! ) and stashing the box and paperwork in my trunk and glove box I flew through the border back to Canada to admire the watch I bought from a TZ member, first time I bought from TZ and it went off with out a hitch!
It is in excellent shape (red dot intact) and it's even more beautiful on my wrist then when I saw in the window of my local Omega AD. It's heavy but comfortable, bright but not over flashy and it's big but does not seem to get dinged on anything like some other big watches I have (Seiko black monster anyone?)
So here are the pics let me know what you think and please post a few pics of some of your fave Omega's as well please... for the price I paid I think I could'nt ask for much more from a watch.

Take care,
REN

I can't take this baby off! I did'nt know such a big watch could be this comfy... maybe it's time to try a Panerai?
