Omega Seamaster Bullhead - Well it's erm... different

[toasty]

Not sure whether I like this or not.

[bry1975]

IMHO I prefer the Seiko bullhead>>>

[XJSJohn]

different, not heard of "Bullhead" watches before - I rather like!

[Miguel Alvarez]

I don't like bull head watches. They look fully wrong IMHO. Face wise though it's a nice watch.

So what is the definition of a Bull Head Watch ? Going by the 2 in this thread, it is just that the winder/buttons are at the top/bottom of the watch, rather than on the sides ?

Oh.......and that Seiko.......whats the model name/number I want one

Yes, pretty much. The pushers look like horns.
Very comfortable to wear, and easy to adjust when you are wearing it.

Isn't that Omega a re-release of an old one?

SCEB013 – you'll need to import it from Japan though.

I like 'em - been trying to find an original one, but with no joy.

It's a bit different.

On the whole, I really like the look of that, but as much as I like internal bezels, I think the extra crown at 6 spoils it a bit.

Price detracts from the appeal somewhat too.

Agreed. What does it do? Is the red hand a second time zone?

The white face with the blue accents is, to me, a stunning looking watch. I wear a re-edition Heuer Silverstone most of the time though, so what do I know.

Tried on one of these at a dinner with omega event in July. Stupendous, lovely.

Also really liked the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon

So do I actually. That Seiko is rather lovely.

My 2p on the Omega: lovely dial, hands and rehaut. Don't like the crown at six o clock, which looks like a different design to the crown at 12, the shape of which doesn't gel (in my mind) with the shape of the pushers.

Prediction: it will not sell well (in the UK at least). If we're lucky, as happened with the Omega Dynamic models of the late 90's, it could make a great sale purchase and might be collectable in years to come.

Agreed.

The Railmaster seems to be going the same way.

If it's anything like my Chronostop, the lower crown will turn the inner bezel. Red hand is the chronograph seconds hand.

That Seiko looks fantastic. Does anyone know of a hands on review anywhere?
I can't find anything. It would make a good gift for my father in law.

Nothing really apart from this – http://forums.watchuseek.com/f21/initial-impressio...
You presumably know it's a quartz watch, not an automatic mechanical?

I've seen that too, unfortunately it's not very useful.
I also know that it's quartz. What's wrong with that? I have a couple of quartz watches.
My father in law would never wear a mechanical watch anyway. He's old enough to remember the quartz revolution and finds mechanical watches old hat.
