About 10-12 years ago, I first saw this watch at Brinkhaus when they still had the Omega brand before they jumped to Calgary Jewellery. My dad wouldn't stop talking about the blue Omega Seamaster 300m Chronograph, and so I decided to go in and see if they had it. They didn't, but what I did get shown was this. I immediately fell in love with it before getting sick at the price of ~$10,500 CAD, which was well out of my price range back then.
Happily, the watch market is kind of weird these days, with some watches (*cough* Rolex) showing dramatic appreciation, and some watches (like this Omega) having dropped ~60% in value since new. It finally made sense that I could buy one and for a steal, so I nabbed it.
I've been excited since last weekend when I bought it for it to arrive and it finally showed up today.

Apologies the back is a bit dirty, I've been wearing it since it arrived and I adjusted the bracelet length.
