It's all your fault on here. Had me swooning for too long! Anyway, one thing led to another on Friday night & next thing you know, the friendly people in Omega wooed me with just one cup of tea & I'm the proud owner of this.

Sorry, don't have a link. It was bought from dealer at the same time as the PO on the bracelet. Markings on the inside of the strap are 98000383 and "cousu main". Strap was £170 and deployment £220. These were, i think at a 20% discount to normal pricing. Originally went to buy it like this but the wrong one ordered. So glad we went for the bracelet and added this as an option in the end!

Now if only I had the confidence to change them over myself!!

Oh and it's a rubber strap with orange stitching. I think they do a croc leather one as well.

Sorry to spoil the party, but here's my Steel/Gold Constellation:



Yes it has the yellow stuff and it is very different to the rest of the watches in my collection. More of a formal wear watch.

I got it on the birth of my baby daughter. Every time I wear it, it puts a smile on my face. And that is what it is all about...

Will never part with it.
Two tone Constellation, my favourite Omega. I had one with diamond markers and loved it till it went
wrong.Was told it would never run properly so I spent a year looking for another one. Just couldnt find a pre owned one anywhere. In the end I bought a 69 bi metal Rolex datejust, but still prefer the Omega looks wise.

I'm not sure to upgrade my old Seamaster to one like this or buy my OH an Aqua Terra. Hmmmm?

This Vintage dress watch (right) has joined my rather disparate collection of Omegas.

Here is mine...bought a few months ago from a well known auction site... I am not entirely convinced about the provenance of this one...but thanks to the good advice on this forum, I was able to get it repaired & serviced and it is fine now ! It may be a 'bitza' as it seems to have a Cosmic case but not a Cosmic dial. The movement etc is all genuine Omega, which was a relief (!!).
It is a 'top loader' where the movement is removed from the top, and there are only a few specialists who can repair these it seems. The crystal has to be removed using a special tool as it is held in place with a unique gasket; these gaskets are virtually unobtainable now, so I am thankful that it was repaired properly. The watch is from 70's/80's but not sure about the date of manufacture. It gets worn much more than my new Sinn 556 !

I had a tough choice choosing between the orange bezel and the grey. Decided on the orange in the end but think I may buy the grey bezel too. I fancy the black rubber strap with the orange stitching too. That way it's like 4 watches in 1! Or that's what I can use to justify it hehe

A question for Omega specialists - the Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal retails at £5,460, compared to £3,950 for the Planet Ocean - worth the difference?

My black faced 300M. Will get a shot of my 90s Dynamic at some point...

Finally got round to getting a crap iPhone shot of my Dynamic...I like it as you don't see many about, although I know the numeral font divides opinions...

I quite fancy that strap too. Any idea as to where you might source it?

The straps are available from any Omega dealer. I ordered mine from Earnest Jones in the Metrocentre. The straps are lovely but are over £300 with the clasp:-





And yes, the strap does adjust for people with normal sized wrists...

/\/\/\/\/\ Paul, thanks for that. I already have the clasp so a potential christmas present to myself!
