CSM, give him some time.

Rob, thanks for another site with unique stuff I like

My 4 1/2 yr. old son recently learned how to tell time on a real clock. So last weekend he and I went out and put a new band on my old stainless swiss army watch that I wore for 15 years. Its the first thing on in the morning and the last thing off at night. He loves it and it looks just like Dada's. It makes him look like such a little man with that big old shiny thing on his wrist. He knows when he turns 21 or gets out of college (don't want him pawning it for beer $) he'll get my Omega.

My B-I-L pointed this site out to me after I saw a couple of the straps on his pieces. I'm thinking of getting a couple for my B&R and JL.

Trading up my quartz Seamaster to an Omega Chrono 300M 2298.80 with titanium band.

I never knew Omega even made a quartz movement.

Congratulations on a fine choice DoktaP

I've kicked around the idea of picking up a vintage Omega off and on the past few years. Assuming the watch has been recently reconditioned by a reputable individual how do these general hold up? Specifically accuracy in keeping time. Keeping accurate time will always be my #1 requirement of any time piece I own. It does me no good to look at my watch and it to be off by 2-3 minutes.
I'm partial to Omegas and that is why I asked about them specifically.

The chronos are known for their accuracy.

Snipes, what watches do you own currently.

I do not recall us talking watches in Atlanta.

Been sporting an Omega Seamaster for the past 6 years. I've always been a one watch kind of guy, but I've had the itch to add a more refined / elegant watch to mix it up on occasion.

I've got a 1960 Seamaster with a 552 movement in it that keeps impeccable time. Just make sure you do your research - the omega website has a database for checking movements vs. years and serial #'s vs. year of production that is helpful.

Snipes, no man should be limited to just 1 watch... That's like having only 1 wine in your cellar.

Thanks for the insight vinoevelo. This is what I hoped.

For my 40th my wife purchased the Oakely Titanium sapphire crytal 10 bar watch. The band is tres cool!

I do recall having a bit of watch envy when we met.

Anybody going to snatch this one up?

Everyone that owns the Omega Speedmaster Pro should wear it tomorrow in honor of Neil Armstrong.

It is the only watch ever to be worn on the moon, and also played a key role on Apollo 13 and their survival.

And it's pre-worn no less.

I wore my AP star wheel tonight to a 40th anniversary, and it's still the favourite of all my watches.

I will wear my Omega Seamaster tomorrow as a tribute. Nice touch bro.
