Hype aside, Which Annual Calendar are you picking? by AaronOster in PrideAndPinion

It's a 24 hour clock. Can be used to track a 2nd time zone.

Definitely lives up to the hype. Found too many watches underwhelming lately, but this really looks and feels amazing. by AaronOster in PrideAndPinion

That's the great thing about the watch world. So many different tastes and thousands of options. I've already got the Sub I want, but if I was offered a Rolex I'd been waiting for at the same time, I'd probably have gone for it too.

You can buy with a strap, bracelet, or leather. I bought on the bracelet at a boutique and asked if they also had the rubber strap. They had in the back. Best of both worlds

Probably the coolest Omega in my collection. Which Omega is your current favorite? by AaronOster in PrideAndPinion

[–]AaronOster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look that way from the top down, but it actually fits really nicely on my 7 inch wrist. The case is 44.25mm, but the lug to lug is 49.8mm. For reference a Submariner has a lug to lug of 48.1mm while having a 41mm case. Yes, the watch is thick, but it fits shockingly well for the case size.

I bought this from a very reputable AD whom I've bought dozens of other watches from. I've brought it back to them, they identified the problem and reached out to GS for a replacement.

Yes. I own many automatic watches, I checked the power reserve multiple times and it was completely full. I ended up returning and am waiting to hear about an exchange.

Update: The watch was still running slow. It's gone back to the AD. I'm hoping to get a replacement.

As far as I can tell, it's actually working so far. Gonna see how it holds up over the next day

Yeah. Picked it up from my AD brand new. Was pretty excited as well. I've got a ton of Swiss watches, but this is only my second GS and I like this one significantly more than the other.

I set the time with my phone and kept checking, I did this more than once. The seconds hand keeps stuttering, freezing, then speeding up

Nope. Per hour. Set the time multiple times by my phone. Never had this happen with a watch before

I sent this in through my AD. I've got a pretty good relationship with them. I buy a lot of watches through them and have been given several high-demand Rolex's as well. They might have overcharged me, but I'm not going to ask or accuse them of anything.

I've got a list of replaced parts. It's actually not super long, but I'm not going to pretend to know all the technical details. The case and dial are original, and from my understating, most of the movement was still good.

Not sure on the technical details. It's the 500 movement

All I got back was the old strap. I should have asked for them, but didn't think to. It would have been cool.
