WOOT WOOT!

Well done you :)

Next on my shopping list is a birth year Omega, although I'm being REALLY fussy at present - looking for a birth day one!

Very nice choice, Presage punches well above it's weight.

TBH the SARB065 was my first choice but to get an SRPB43 new at $351.. I’ll take the 4R over the 6R all day
 
Presage is a beautiful watch, nice one mate. Kinda regret going with a Tissot Le Locle over one of those, but I was on a swiss kick at the time.

I hear ya on the Swiss kick... I’m currently saving for a Tudor to celebrate the finishing of the mortgage and arrival of our second son.
So I still have a while before I can pull that trigger
 
Your Presage is nicer for the price than pretty much all the entry-level Swiss that I've seen. Looking at the Black Bay? I like their bold simplicity and the big chunky bezel, but I picked up one of these titanium Mido's as a more affordable option which has become my daily driver.

Are you on Facebook and in the 'Aust. Watch Buy and Sell' group? Some good discounts on well-kept Tudors in there, most with box and papers.

When you are ready to pull the trigger a wtb there may save you some coin. So it’s certainly worth investigating

For a more quirky take on watches, one could also try the The Unemployed Philosophers' Guild - I have one of their Dali watches and a (now apparently discontinued) Leonardo da Vinci watch (mirror watch - designed to do your head in)

Show us the da Vinci!

Nice! Looks like the small-size Hamilton case, but with some bolder dive watch features. I like the brushed steel matte finish, it looks great. Hit me/Rami up for an invite / recommendation to the FB group when you're ready, he's right that it might save some good coin.

Nice Speedy and Hammy, here's a Sea-dy?
