You’ve piqued my interest Guy. I look forward to the photos.

I think the angularity of a squared off case compliments the angularity of the Roman numerals. Roman numerals on a round watch have a bit of the “square peg in a round hole” thing going on.

My view entirely Neil.

For myself, I prefer either acrylic or sapphire. Total opposites to be truthful, but mineral crystal is in the “no man’s land” in the middle for me, even though I do have a few in my watch boxes. Edit: sorry, I’m digressing from the thread... Back on theme, Seiko automatics have legendary longevity ...

I know what you mean, and that did cross my mind. But even on a day when I take the dog out for a couple of walks, it still stops. That can't be right, can it?

New in for me is this 42mm Planet Ocean.

Something that had been missing from my Omega (sub)collection for a couple of years was a Planet Ocean. I had a variety of other Omegas, admittedly Speedmasters abounded, but I sold my last Planet Ocean (a 42mm titanium 8500 model) and have been bereft of a PO since. I broke the drought a couple of ...
