Let me respond in the order you wrote. 1) The first criticism relating to size fails to hit the mark in a number of ways. Most importantly, the iconic speedmaster, i.e. the moon watch, is unchanged and is still at the traditional size of 42mm. Your remark about trending in the opposite direction is

Omega have no problems whatsoever in combining diverse stylistic elements drawn together from various watches from various eras. The remarkable thing is that Omega invariably succeed. Omega has a house style unique to itself. This is a strength for Omega because the individual elements are so strong

I thought I'd continue my series highlighting more of my wife's Omegas. I again also grant Bill permission to choose this post for an 'editor's pick'. Hitherto, I've highlighted the brilliant chocolate DeVille (which is NOT her best Omega and that is yet to come), and today I present to you the very

For true WIS, the watch lacks a great movement. Many see the liquid metal seamaster as a missed opportunity because it doesn't house the great cal 8500 in house movement.

We got confirmation this afternoon that my wife's latest Omega has arrived. I won't say what it is, but it's just as spectacular as the chocolate DeVille and just as rare as well. Neither the watch or the magnificent movement has ever been seen on this forum or indeed on ANY of the other forums. I'l

I don't believe anybody has ever posted real world pictures of this undeniably remarkable watch on this forum. I present to you my wife's Omega. Yep, it's spectacular and unreal but my woman deserves nothing less. When Omega pull out all the stops, they sure know how to make amazing watches like thi

The examples you gave clearly show that full 60 second markers on a subdial can look very elegant indeed. You have thoroughly convinced me of that. I now think I overstated the case. I like the Blancpain and Breguet best. I also share your sentiment regarding the Roth design. Some of the other, rath
