Thanks, Art! Kind words.
Mitch is quite right - a true Daniels is beyond most, but the co-axial is a huge part of George’s legacy!
I find it quite moving to hold of the pieces which really changed the trajectory for Omega (and occupied such a big part of George’s life and energies).
Incidentally, I also got this historic document with the watch.
This is an original invitation to the launch of the co-axial in London in October 1999 (hosted by George Daniels).
What I wouldn’t give to be able to attend that event 😀
The history behind this model is incredible.
A seminal piece for modern Omega!

This piece has landed.
The first generation Omega De Ville Co-Axial limited edition (1999). A truly historic piece in recent horological memory. This one sold within 1 month of the release date in 1999, and has spent most of its life in the original owner’s safe. I’m thrilled t...
Mitch once said owning one of Omega's initial co-axial offerings . . .
. . . was the next-best option to owning a Daniels. In my book, it's as rewarding. Only a select few will ever own a Daniels. But almost three thousand guests can join this party. The more, the merrier! Congrats, Bounce - good call. Art

Oh that’s very kind!
I have learned an ENORMOUS amount from you, so I am humbled you find my contribution worthy! Cheers HAGWE
The connection with George Daniels would be the only reason that would make me buy a modern Omega, but what a reason!
His books are magic and show well the struggle to get his design adopted by a modern industrial watchmaker. Your watch is very much part of that history, you are a very lucky man! Congratulations! Best, É.
