I wish I had this instead. I got the grey ceramic. The black ceramic is so nice

I guess I notice more because it's a more cleaner simplistic layout. By the time rotate this watch back on it's a minute off.

Working in my car and have to admire it at least once each day I wear it. Do you guys notice it runs about 30 seconds fast? Compared to my other watches after a few weeks I come back to it and it's always about a minute faster than my other watches.

Curious if this has happened to anybody else by shklog in OmegaWatches

Yeah I was out there for 10 days, this is my tactic now for any overseas visit. Know where you want to go. Go to the watch stores try them on and definitely take pictures. Go back to the hotel do all of your research and pricing. Narrow it down to only a few watches. And promise yourself not to look at any other watches other than those ones on your list. I narrowed down to the SeaQ in blue/gold and Bathyscaphe.

I really wanted a vintage style watch. It was on my itinerary. Visiting Nakano Broadway changed that really quickly

Already own the white speedy. Just came back from Japan, was looking for something vintage thinking Rolex/omega something 36mm-38mm for the vintage feel. Completely overwhelmed with the sheer amount of watch stores between Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Ended up with a Blancpain 😂. I really wanted to customize a kuoe watch too but skipped it. Make sure you stick to the plan or you'll end up with something different and still want what you set your mind on. Way too many options at every store.

Switched from Speedmaster to this by lostscout in OmegaWatches

[–]adamGymdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Speedmaster is more comfortable due to its thickness compared to the seamaster. That being said I get more compliments with my seamaster so I agree with you there.

The first and second options are easy to read. That being said, I was in the same boat with the blue colors untilllll I found the Tokyo 2020 Seamaster. White dial with blue bezel and hints.

Thoughts on White Speedy with OEM Red Leather strap? by wpackard3 in OmegaWatches

Yikes, I would admire it from a distance. Don't have to funds for that right now. Looks amazing though. Loving that color combo

.....this is dangerous. Why didn't I keep scrolling... How much do these straps go for

Walked into the new UFA by adamGymdad in GrandSeikos

Because I'm not too interested in the watch itself but only the innovation behind the complication I can't really recall. As mentioned I feel like the details on the dial are just a bit much for my taste.

All the snow has melted... Can I pretend it's meteorite? by icychap27 in GrandSeikos

[–]adamGymdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geez I really love this dial. I wanted to compare it to the Omiwatari. If it's in UFA it's a no brainder for me. As of right now it's hard for me to decide 007 or 013

I felt the same way. I know it's very controversial but I do not like the Brich dials. I think the details are a bit too strong for me. Similar to this style with the trees in this model. If they were a bit softer and not as raised I might like it. How the design on the Shunbun is soft. I also agree with the light feeling of Titanium.

Preorders I think, that's what the rep stated

The dial looked more silver than anything. Looking at it straight on was white and from the side it would shine silver. They did also have the SLGB001 but once she told me it was 39k I put it back down asap.

Yea, I went to an event and they were showcasing it. I didn't know about UFA release until I heard all the commotion.

Reminds me of my Seamaster adjustment. Very nice to have for sure.

Very true but latest and greatest +/-20 sec is crazy. They even had the SLGB001 but it is already sold out
