Got an ultrasonic bath for Christmas, and this will be the first to take a dip later.



ETA: It turns out the watch was already clean... smile

Merry Christmas to me !
I've never been a massive watch fan, have a couple of tags from about 30 years ago in a box somewhere but I've not worn one for many years but I think I'd make an exception for that.

I feel I can finally join this thread! Lovely present from my better half and my first "proper" watch smile

That’s a pretty awesome way to enter “proper” watch territory thumbup

Personally think they’ve gone a bit wayward with design in recent times.

I paid 1750 for this thing 12 years ago. Still think they look better on rubber, and I was quite surprised to see that today the same watch costs 5500!

Was watching Spectre on TV last night and decided to have a Vesper Martini. I have been wearing my Tudor GMT most of lockdown instead of my daily Seamaster. Decided to try do a bit of arty photo with my phone.



Black and white makes it look like a normal BB.



So I've switched back to wearing my daily Seamaster and its so much nicer to wear than the Tudor GMT, it terms of weight, size and fit. Really wish the GMT was like the BB58.

Going off big watches as I’ve lost some weight recently.

Giving this an airing today, but may move it on at some point.

She does in all things but husbands, but as I chose the watch and gave it to her, this was me getting lucky. Gift to, not gift from.

Seamaster Diver 300 fresh on the wrist today. Caught a great deal which was tough to pass up on.

It’s only 3 months old but the seller had recently picked up a limited edition Seamaster, and so this became a bargain at approx £2k (or 10k AED where I am based) for a full set, with receipt and most of the 5yr warranty remaining.

I own a 2019 Yacht-Master and a 2020 (but last gen) Submariner Date but this Omega is up there in the quality stakes, it’s a very impressive watch. As many, I think it’s weakness is the bracelet style, which does need updating but otherwise I’m very happy with this.

Some snaps

I got mne in 2009 and paid just over £2k with a rubber strap and bracelet.
Loved hte ruber strap tlll it split .... and was astounded at the price Omega want for a genuine replacement

Been on a bracellet for a few years and recently got a silicone deployment strap.
Currently away having it serviced but really looking forward to getting it back, depite having a 2020 Starbucks on at the moment!

There is something so simple and clean about the Omega.....
