May I suggest a 910 . . .

. . . instead of a tropical 911 as the next target? Stealthy, without constantly running seconds: the dial springs to life when the chrono's activated. And the black/green 24 hour indicator? Sublime!
When you add up the capabilities of the 910 - chronograph, GMT, internal rotating bezel - and throw in the heritage of the movement and design, it's hard not to conclude this is the coolest Omega of them all. It's slightly shallower than the 911, too . . . better suited to smaller wrists, and more pleasing proportionally.
For many years, a 910 was at the top of my list. Recently, I'm finding myself drawn to simpler fare, and correspondingly less attracted to sports/tool/dive types, so it's fallen off its perch. Still, under the right circumstances, I can see adding one to my Omega collection.
Congratulations on the acquisition, Jeff. Finding one with original cadmium yellow hands and intact pushers and crowns is quite a feat.
