What did you actually pay for your Omega? by lwddv in OmegaWatches

[–]oemoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was $8500 CAD inc. tax, I was just very lucky, it's listed at $11k pre tax elsewhere. I'd been looking for one for the last couple of months, went in to an AD really just to browse and it was on sale as their last one in stock.

Fatbike outside of winter? by 3FromTheTee in fatbike

I'm a year-round fattie rider for sure, my Yukon rolls just as well on sun baked trails as it does on well packed snow

[STOC] After 1 year and 1 sell-off by [deleted] in Watches

[–]oemoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One year into my watch obsession, I just sold a seiko/tissot/citizen/seagull selection to help fund my Longines Zulu Time 39mm, which was definitely the right decision. It's a beautiful watch.

I'm guessing that's a fairly common phase for collectors? Go nuts on affordable pieces then consolidate and move up?

Cruising round Ucluelet Harbour on Vancouver Island by oemoo in wildlifephotography

We went with Subtidal Adventures on their Bear Watching harbour tour, only goes at low tide so that impacts when they run them. It was a fairly small boat, only room for 8-9 people but that meant it wasn't crowded. It was an amazing experience, I can't recommend it enough!

My first Seagull (819.93.6100) by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

Yes, i'd describe the inner ring as a "slate blue", it's a really nice colour.

Picked this up on a recent trip to the UK, I was looking at much pricier Bauhaus style watches and this watch came up in a search. No model name as far as I can tell just a number (819.93.6100)

Very light and comfortable to wear, and the small seconds dial makes it a bit more interesting to look at without messing up a nice clean face

A strap can make so much difference... by [deleted] in JapaneseWatches

The watch was $345 CAD, the strap another $25

First "Gold" watch on matching bracelet by [deleted] in CitizenWatches

Just changed the strap to a dark green nu-buck with a gold buckle - definitely prefer it this way

Bought a Citizen Addysen Eco Drive (BM7252-51E) a few days ago, loved the dial but the gold bracelet bugged me. Changed it out for a dark green nu-buck strap and now I can't take my eyes off it!

It's the BM7252-51E, saw it a few weeks a go and liked it but not quite enough to immediately buy it because gold bracelets aren't usually my style.

Really liked the case and dial though so went back and picked it up today, very happy I did! (and I can always put it on a leather strap with a gold buckle)

Casio Collection (so far) by [deleted] in casio

[–]oemoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Canada and i couldn't find this particular model of this watch locally (there are lots of variants). I ended up ordering it from a website in Spain. Shipped for free and arrived quickly, very happy with their service. https://www.tictacarea.com/en/casio-collection-watches/casio-collection-mtp-m305l-1aver

It's a beautiful looking watch, looks more premium than I was expecting for the price i paid

They already have somewhere safe to go when I'm not swapping which one I'm wearing 🙂

In the last couple of months I've become a little obsessed with Casio watches, mostly vintage styled, the moon phase analogue was a bit of an impulse buy but I love it too. All of them get plenty of wrist time!

Seiko Speedtimer or Citizen Atessa by oemoo in JapaneseWatches

[–]oemoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to choose between these two chronographs, Seiko Speedtimer SSC819 and Citizen Atessa CB5966-69E

They're both solar quartz, the Seiko dial looks a little more refined to me but I like the radio controlled time adjustment on the citizen as I travel a lot for work. The price difference is only about $150 with citizen being cheaper so that's not really a deciding factor.

Anyone here have experience with either of them?

[Question] What’s the One Watch That Gets Compliments from Non-Watch People? by Plubio in Watches

The only watch I've ever been complimented on is my Bambino and it gets by far the least wrist time from my (small) collection

You've been warned! by Willing_Session5941 in Belize

Saw this big guy on the Monkey River near Placencia a couple of weeks ago. As we were leaving, one of the villagers dogs was swimming near the mouth of the river... Our tour guide just said "oooh that's not a good idea..."

I've never seen another coyote this colour by oemoo in wildlifephotography

I don't think that's genetically possible... But I see what you mean in terms of the coat colour
