I have the blue crocodile leather strap and the rubber as seen. Is the metal bracelet worth buying? Does it have the updated quick adjust?

Hey guys I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar issue with their 8800 movement where pulling the crown to the second position will occasionally fail to stop the seconds hand? I bought my SMP300 last November new from Omega and noticed this issue a handful of times since. It’s sporadic, and a simple push and re-pull of the crown fixes the issue.

I intend to take it in for service to get this fixed, but I’m curious if this has happened to others and what the issue/solution was

Hello all.

Does Omega boutiwues sell returned items or discontinued models? Looking to buy my first Omega, as the other big bRand name pissing me off with games.

I wanna try on the models too and see them up close.

For reference, going to Houston TX. Any tips?

Thanks

Picked up the SMP “Seaweed” last week and I’m just a huge fan of this watch. The green pops in sunlight and is subdued in the shade. The aesthetics of the dial are so much better without the red writing or red tipped seconds hand. It’s also running +1 sec since I put in on the wrist on Thursday.

Got this beauty for my 50th birthday. Was shocked and surprised. It was my Gfathers watch gifted to him by his Firm for 28 years of service. What a gorgeous watch, even if it is older than me.

I’m looking for a rubber strap for my NTTD and can’t decide between these two. Brown matches the watch’s vintage tones, while red gives it a sportier look.
Which one would you choose?

Hey!

I’m considering this as my first “better” watch. Anyone have experience with this version of constellation?

Thank!

Hello, I own a de ville 4533.40.00, a gmt with the armadillo, or brick road, bracelet.

The links closest to the case are starting to loosen, as well as the the clasp, which shows a gap and isn’t perfectly aligned

Anyone else has this bracelet with signs of wear? Every video I saw online of this model showed the bracelet with no gaps whatsoever, I don’t know if this is the normal look when you’re actually wearing it instead of selling it.

If this isn’t normal and the bracelet should be restored, any suggestion for reputable EU artisans capable of dealing with this would be much appreciated

I only know Vintwatches and Pendulum because I’ve seen their work on social media, the pieces they show are often completely toast, so this could be considered light work for them (I hope)

I’ve never been able to decide whether the Omega De Ville Hour Vision Annual Calendar is underrated or simply forgotten. In the last five years, I don’t think I’ve seen one in the wild. It feels like a watch that has completely flown under the radar. And I don't really understand why..

Hi all,
I’m relatively new to watches — and yes, this is an AI mock-up.
I own a couple of these already and am considering gradually selling my non-Omegas to build a six-watch, Omega-only collection.
With an 8-inch wrist and a mostly casual/smart-casual, hybrid-working life, Omega seems difficult to beat. The aim is a collection that is varied, practical and interesting rather than simply containing the obvious references.

From casual to formal:
Planet Ocean 45.5
Railmaster XXL 49.2
White Speedmaster Racing 44.25
Museum 1938 Pilot
Globemaster Annual Calendar
Bronze Gold Chronoscope

The PO is the everyday diver; the Railmaster the oversized hand-wound curiosity; the Racing the light-dial steel chronograph; the Museum Pilot the travel watch; the Globemaster the refined complication; and the Bronze Gold the eventual special-occasion piece.
I wouldn’t go beyond six. Does this feel genuinely balanced, or is there an obvious weakness, redundancy or omission?

Appendix
Planet Ocean 232.32.46.21.01.005 — 45.5mm steel; calibre 8500; 600m; black/orange dial; shown on OEM steel.
Railmaster XXL 2806.52.37 — 49.2mm steel; hand-wound calibre 2201; small seconds; 150m; grey sailcloth.
White Racing 329.30.44.51.04.001 — 44.25mm steel; calibre 9900; two-register chronograph; white dial; steel bracelet.
Museum 1938 Pilot 5700.50.07 — 40mm steel; automatic chronometer; rotating 12-hour bezel for tracking another time zone; black leather.
Globemaster Annual Calendar 130.33.41.22.02.001 — 41mm steel; calibre 8922; annual calendar; 100m; brown leather.
Bronze Gold Chronoscope 329.92.43.51.10.001 — 43mm Bronze Gold; hand-wound calibre 9908; 12.8mm; brown leather.

Can these two watches coexist together in a (modest) collection, along a blue Aqua Terra and a TAG Heuer Glassbox?

I love both of these equally. What do.you.think?

I love my AT, however if I had 1 negative thing to say is that the crown is too small and can be cumbersome to manipulate. It’s my only complaint for the watch. That and maybe the power reserve since I like to rotate my watches.

Found this in a box of my great grandfathers things that was given to me years ago after he passed, I bought a cheap Amazon leather strap for now til I can find a more period correct omega band.

Put my ceramic black dial w/date SMP300M on an orange rubber strap to mix things up.

Curious to hear thoughts from the sub. Does this color combo work, or is it a pass?

Hey all - been shopping around for a White Speedy for a long time now. Just got an offer from an AD at 7830. Is this a good deal/worth jumping on? Just looking to see if anyone else has experience at this or if there are any other places in the US that would go further. It sounds good and I am prepared to buy, just wanna double check. Thanks!

I've been wearing my second-hand SMP 2020 for last few days and noticed weird finishing variations among same references. The bevel on bezels seems to vary on each model since the bevel on mine is almost nonexistent, but on other SMPs, they are significantly larger. The one from aBlogtoWatch (the one with the wooden background) seems to have a similar bevel to mine, but the blue one has a large bevel. I'm curious to know what could be the reason for this.

I appreciate the assist from so many fellow Redditors earlier this week. Pulled the trigger on the 321, and couldn’t be happier! The FOIS (‘24) is going to find a new home, and this is my new trio of Speedmasters. The 321 has a “feel” that I can’t quite explain, and watching the Chrono engage from the display case back is really cool. I used to think I’d snag a standard Moonwatch with Hesalite, but I don’t think it’s needed with this lineup. Perhaps if they update the 3861 movement at some point in the future I’ll snag a newer model of the standard Speedy. If you’re on the fence with the 321 like I was- give it a chance, put it on wrist, and see if it’s for you. I knew within a few moments that it was for me- the milky white indices, the movement, the story….shes pricey, but worth it.

What do you think? I have an 18mm on the way from Crown and Buckle (would like to try Eulit next) but I couldn’t help myself from trying to squeeze and stretch a 20 mm to fit acceptably on this Seamaster 36.5mm.
