Good spot - wire ones would look much better.

Hamilton make a nice one too, with or without a chrono. Can't remember the model name, (it's not the Pan Europ).

If it's the one I'm thinking of it might just be called the Hamilton cushion or possibly jazzmaster cushion?

Eoin

Yep, that's the one!

Looks good. What did they do that took so long?

Full service took 8 weeks. Got it back and noticed an issue and had to be sent back for another go for another 8 weeks. Literally they must not have tested it the first time. As you unscrew the crown the date would advance by anywhere by 1-3 days. How they could miss it is beyond me. Hardly a complicated piece given its based on ETA 2892! Either way Omega service centre wont get another cent from me.

I am also still waiting on any sort of paperwork for the service. The mind boggles. I am unsure of its omega or the AD being obtuse about it.

I suspect the photo doesn't do the dial justice!

That really is nice.

Was it a tz purchase?

For future reference (i hope!) where does one buy a sinn? I see jura watches are the UK distributor, and classic-watches.de in Germany, but are there any others worth looking at?

You can buy direct from them also but I obviously you would be paying full whack as opposed to getting some sort of a discount from an AD / grey dealer.

It has an amazing look to it.

Put it on the Isofrane and it looks nice and tidy

Another gem - my own personal taste is to have a plainer face. I have some pieces with dark faces which i think is what attracted me to the silver face on the original. I actually dont own a piece with a leather strap so it would be ticking that off the list also.

Just a question of justifying the price (again! after my last purchase here.)

Picked up a Speedy Reduced (3539.50) while in Tokyo. Size is perfect for my puny wrists

Looks perfect gc. My Speedy says hi.

Treated myself to a Sarb017 which arrived yesterday after sitting in Portlaoise since Monday. Delighted with it. I absolutely adore it!

Northern Monkey

Picked up a nato today.

Omega nato worth the price tag? I suspect it is but won't be a popular opinion.

I'm impressed with it, but like everything omega 50% of the price is to pay for marketing. If feels quite stiff in comparison to other nato's I've tried, but I'd imagine it will soften with more wear. I still think the rubber strap is my preferred option for the PO, but it changes it up enough to keep me interested.

Is it really worth 65-75 quid*? I mean it's a nate, no matter how well it's put together it's still a nate, outside of having gold thread or some amazing technology, I'd say 30 quid would be a very pricy one.

The luxury markup tax on that has to be closer to 90%.

*Based on the price I see in Google,l divided by 2.

If we get into the subject of "worth" in new watches(and vintage for that matter) we'd be here all day.

There's a review of an Omega NATO on r/watches (unboxing here imgur.com/a/S9QJb) that the guy shelled out $180 for, roughly €160.

It took me all day to figure out you're talking about straps. Was thinking "That's very cheap for an Omega watch"

Mitch Buchannon

On the 1st June , Peasant started a thread advising Vostok had released a load of new models. So of course I had a look and within minutes I had ordered two watches.

Well 94 days after ordering they arrived this morning.



They are pretty much the same watch with different dials. I have only one other white dial so I fancied another.

It's the Vostok 120 case.
41mm wide including crown guards.
46mm lug to lug.
18mm lug width.
Waterproof 200m
Automatic movement.

At the time of purchase it came with the option of rubber strap or nato strap. Like a dope I chose both on rubber instead of one on rubber and one on nato. It's typical that every spare strap I have is 20mm. I'll have to buy a few cheap 18mm nato's now.

These are my first Russian watches and based on first impressions they won't be my last.
Apologies for the crappy iPhone pics below

I have ordered the same Amphibia 120 with the black dial. I only have another 60 days to wait then.
