Three very different watches.
They are are all great though but the Omega is my favourite of the three.
Enjoy them :)

Great pics and reviews. The Omega stands out, obviously. I take it you just tie the internal bezel on the Magrette in with the 2nd Time Zone? Simple and elegant solution.

Very nice, the Wise I-Force is the clear standout here!
















haha, well, perhaps the Speedmaster Broadarrow which is a real cracker! Great watch :thumbup:

The glow of the trit tubes is probably about right BTW, they glow constantly but never as bright as freshly charged lume.

Thanks for the nice feedback everyone.

Clearly the Omega is the standout watch and I added this to P2 of the 'what watch are you dreaming about' thread many moons ago and it was on the 'watch' list long before that!

I have to say that I'm very impressed by the Magrette. Its just a super comfortable and very legible watch to wear. As for the dual time, yes, it appears that simple and I agree elegant, in that the dial is nicely clutter free for such a task.

As for the I-Force, well it's a bit of fun really, as it's so different by a country mile, to anything else I have owned. But I love it! It's all wrong of course, well size-wise it's fine, surprisingly, but the hands, the steel buckle, the odd crown and the tubing around the edge of the dial - but despite all that, it brings a smile to my face. They've sold out by the way, at the watch fair, reinforcements are being sent from Bangkok! The rest of the range isn't quite so in your face and elegant by comparison!

Thanks again for the feedback.

I have to agree with the Omega being a lovely watch. None of the three are for me but that's irrelevant. Congratulations on the three purchases Sir

The Omega is an absolute cracker. I have been looking at that one myself for months and considering swapping out my IWC silver dialled spitfire chrono, to make room for it.

Cheers,
Jack.
