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

The orange bezel was on my wish list, though Im now thinking about the grey.

Looks like lots of photos of kids wearing their dad's watches to me

I used to consider my wrists to be slender, but after looking at the Seiko Show thread I have to wonder.

There are lots of pictures of SKZ007 type pieces which are hanging over the edges of the posters wrists, whereas the same watch on my wrist looks rather small, even with a large rubber strap on!

lovely looking watch - do you find it at all large or heavy to wear ? [ looks biggish IMHO ...]

Thanks David,
I went for the 42mm rather than the 45mm for that reason. It feels really nice to wear and just about the right size. I'm pleased with the ceramic bezel and the clarity of the dial. I had to wait a short time to get this model with the orange numerals which i was keen to have as I think they give the dial a bit more depth, if that makes sense.

I'm very, very keen on one of these. Have been watching them for a long time and noticing how the prices have recently been climbing quite rapidly. £5,500 at the Omega store in Burlington Arcade ( always pricey I know )

I think they may turn into a little bit of a cult watch although they're not really any different to a normal speedy pro.

It's funny isn't it.

Personally I'd pay extra NOT to have that on mine!

Still, takes all sorts and some people just like to have something different, which is fine

My wife has this, she doesn't wear it enough though. I doubt she'd miss it if I sold it and made better use of the funds

What's the approximate value of the black faced Geneve? We've one in the family that doesn't get any use.

Sorry about poor iPhone pictures but quite excited, nearly did a sex wee getting it out the box.
I was in Glasgow today while wife had her hair done so to pass the time I went to he pub and the Omega shop while waiting on her.
Tried on a few watches and after she finished her appointment I picked up this!
Got a nice wee discount too.









Took these as soon as I got home. Will get better ones with the SLR at another time.

Nice. Is that the black face version?

Yes it's a cracking looking watch. Black face grey bezel.
