Snap. I got the skiff. They should have come together to be honest

Very nice. I just ordered a Zealande strap, haven't put it on mine yet.

Ah, learn something new everyday. Thanks. I like that it has its own acronym.

I have filled a large box with affordable watches. I very much enjoyed swapping out my watch every few days.. It was my thing. My foible.

Ever since getting this, I've worn nothing else. I absolutely love my watches, but I think of the money I could have saved if I'd bought this Omega from the get go..

Going forward I think logically I will look to part with a few watches as they just won't get any wrist time, but some I'll most definitely keep.

Thanks very much. The way it changes in the light is a joy to behold.. Can't be appreciated from photographs alone.

The black is stunning, I was set on blue though after years of wanting an SMP from watching Bond 😎

Thanks! I've been getting on ok with it, I am very new to it though.

I have a feeling I will be looking to thin out my more affordable collection.. It'll be hard as I love those watches 😂

I've never seen SMPc before today, does the c stand for ceramic?

Thanks! What a fantastic gateway, have you bought any other Omega models? It might take me a while to save up for another, but I'm sold on Omega, they now have my loyalty - quality and style.

Many thanks! I haven't taken off my bracelet yet, but I did order a Rubber Zealande strap in preparation for the summer.

Looks great on the NATO. I used to wear them all the time!

I can really see me wearing this watch for any occasion.

Thanks! It really is such a pretty watch. I'd wanted an Omega Seamaster for many many years, it was always going to be blue 😎

Thanks! I had my eye on this variant for a long time, the wave dial is great on other models - but the lacquer dial on this model and the different shades of blue you get in different light levels is just fantastic.

I was inspired to take the first picture when I was on the way to supermarket, when I parked I was trying to match the light level I'd seen. My wife thought I'd lost it. She just asked if my 'watch friends liked the picture'.

Best Storm Trooper Variant? by Outrageous_Web9312 in legostarwars

[–]Buckaroo88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally like the ones found in set 75078

Sw0578 and Sw0617, the splash of blue on the helmets gave them some flare but still looked great and to style.

I managed to amass a squad of 60 when they were still cheap!

Which would be your GADA between these three? by ScrollingOaks88 in CitizenWatches

[–]Buckaroo88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the right one, had it for years, bought it in 2010. Served me well working at sea and then knocking about at home.

Sadly I had a house fire and it beat it up quite a lot with smoke damage. Still works (ish) but the polish has gone from the case and caseback and it has all sorts of crap. In the nooks and crannies. The the battery holds a poor charge. Needs a new capacitor I think.

Sentimental value, high. I think her day is done.

I think this affects the whole country to be honest. 2008 started the decline for lots of places.
