Re: C65 Sandstorm Chronometers

What do we call a black dial with a big white circle on it? A Cyclops?

When I got the email I was taken with the cyclops, but after a while with the photo up realized not quite for me.

Re: Omega Moonwatch help please.

Great looking watch, especially with the white dial. But my recommendation is to try setting and winding the watch before purchasing. I don't have big hands, but I find the crown on omegas horrid things to grasp properly for winding, and once grasped hard to turn. Plus on all the ones I've handled i...

Now this is sweet!

I am not usually a Panerai fan and generally prefer 41mm area watches, but this is one sweet looking dive piece I could see craving. https://www.panerai.com/us/en/home/panerai-ambassador/guillaume-nery-free-diving-champion/submersible-chrono-guillaume-nery-edition-pre-sihh.html?utm_source=Newsletter...

Re: C60 Trident 316L Limited Edition - Yellow

Ablogtowatch has a review of the 316L Yellow today. They make some good points about size. https://www.ablogtowatch.com/christopher-ward-c60-trident-316l-limited-edition-yellow-dive-watch/ I can quite understand a 43 -- or 45mm or 48mm - watch if it was actually marketed as solely a diver's watch. ...

Re: C60 Trident 316L Limited Edition - Yellow

Attractive piece, but did CW not get the message about smaller dials being coveted? Smart money would have made this in 40mm.

Re: youtube recommendations

Lindsey .. hope you're well. I found that most of the "Making of X" videos are pretty decent, especially those highlighting older 70s and 80s albums. Kick it off with an hour of Steely Dan and "The Making of Aja", where my pup's name came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9M...

Re: What's your favorite Trident

I'm pretty sure that over on the FB group someone once posted a picture of a white dial, green bezel Trident on a camel colored leather band. I've been searching for a picture of one for days now to no avail. If my memory is correct, that's MY favorite Trident...other than my C65 Vintage (which rea...

Re: What's your favorite Trident

for me, it's the one-off white-on-white trident that rcherryuk own(es/ed?) and which photo I suspect died with photobucket, or the sister one-off white-on-black reverse trident of paul drawmer shown here. I am seriously waiting for one or both to be pm'd to me for sale. ;-) http://s30.postimg.org/uy...

Re: Omega Seamaster Olympic games limited editions

Saw the PO at the Omega boutique. Nice blue, but overall I don't see this as the type of piece one buys with a view of long-term ownership. I could tire of it quickly once the novelty of the red and blue wore off. Price as I recall was just over $9000 CDN for the boxed set above. For that kind of mo...
