I managed to secure an extremely rare vintage Omega Speedmaster nick named the Anekin Skywalker.




As you can see from the look of the watch, it does have a Stars Wars look to it.

When I received the watch, two things bother me. One, the dial and inner bezel has a dirty look to it and the bracelet is a little beat up and was sized incorrectly. I contacted Omega Bienne who advised that they no longer have either the dial or bezel in stock. Went to the bay and won these this weekend.




Omega has the bracelet and once all is put together, this will be a mint watch.

Enjoy I am.
