Looks cool, what will the second crown be for?

It looks like it has an internal rotating bezel.

As the owner of the incoming watch in question, and a bit of a watch noob, I’d love to know what this means!

A dive watch has a rotating bezel on the outside of the case. This looks like it has one on the inside.

One of the crowns will operate the hands, and the other one will turn the internal bezel - the bit around the outside of the dial, which has white, blue and red sectors.

My guess is that the adjustable bezel is segmented for hours (for a shift) rather than minutes (for a dive). Each coloured segment then represents four hours?

I suspect you're right. It doesn't look even a little bit waterproof

Got this for my birthday from my better half and I absolutely love it.



She thought it would complement this which I picked up a couple of weeks ago.

Agreed.

Not sure why you'd want 3 segments though. With 2 you could use it as a GMT bezel.

It’s a Russian thing. Four hours to fly from Moscow to your destination. Four hours to do some sightseeing; maybe take in a cathedral or two. Four hours to fly home again.

Just bought one of these. It’s my fourth Omega but second Speedy.

Is it me or are neither of those zeroed correctly?

So after being on the closed list for almost 1yr Ago to the day I got the long awaited call on sat afternoon from my AD that my 126660 James Cameron deepsea was sitting with my name on it , and to be honest I have just stopped grinning like a kid .

Most of my work mates think I am nuts spending this much especially considering I drive a £600 quid corsa to and from work but this watch has special meaning too me , I can’t make it in till this sat to collect it but this is going to be a long week

That's going be be an agonising few days notwithstanding how long you've already waited. Enjoy it when you get it.

Thanks mate only plus point is that we are very busy at work so the mind is focused on other things during the day , but the odd silly thought about a batman might be a nice addition next year .................. don’t tell the wife

Bought a Breitling today (for Christmas). Scored 18% off retail at a high street chain where I typically buy my watches.

My first one. An Avenger Blackbird. It’s Titanium & measures in at a non inconsiderable 48mm.

Wears nicely on my large wrists though!



Roll on 25th December....lol

Lovely.

I really like that, is there a small size for girl wrists?

eta; it seems there is / was a 44m version.

First rule of watch collecting - never tell the wife!

"Is that new?"

"No, had it ages. You know; it's the one we spoke about 6 months ago..." 😁

Interesting watch.... have you had it long?

Yep had the 2 for 15 years or so...collected a few along the way, but the 2 in titanium is my fave, so light and easy wearing and the spinning tourb quite hypnotic, would never sell it...
rest of the RM bunch...

Edmonda, could you update your garage on your profile please
