Back to the Transocean..

Find me a 'MADE IN CHINA' Mullard and you'll be right on!

Something new..

Picked up one of these cheapos with a quartz movement. Not much of a rep, but quite a nice looker none the less.

Forgive the campy photo... just having fun with Photoshop (yes, that is my Carrera!)

LOL!

Going flying tomorrow. Thought this might be appropriate:

Speedmaster looks awesome!! TAG Link today:

Definitely a new look and feel... just gotta get oriented and I'll be fine!

Well then I guess the auction watch must be a Gen - looks just like that rep watch site pic!

This one on Ebay strikes me as off but I'm not an Omega expert so I'm curious what others think. Here's the auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/370539233711 The date window and the length of the dial marker at 3:00 strike me as being more like this $200 rep: http://www.watchesmod.com/omega-replica/seamaster-2517.80-watch-2597.html then the genuine on the Omega site: http://www.omegawatches.cn/gents/seamaster/aqua-terra-quartz/25178000 However, there may have been small variations in the gen during it's production that I'm not aware of, thus this post.

Leather or SS strap is not really practical for a workout watch. I've got a Victorinox Swiss Army quartz with rubber strap that I use for sports. Practical, reliable and pretty cheap. It along the lines of this (I don;t have a picture of my particular watch and I think it's out of production):

I got one today from a large Canadian bank (RBC) and tried it. This particular version is advertised as suitable for most online purchases world-wide and let's you 'register' it so billing data checks will work. Anyway, the good news is it looks like it worked fine. The payment was accepted by the vendor's third party payment portal and reflected in the remaining card balance shortly afterward.

Going gen today:
