Desirable? Certainly. Your AD certainly desires to unload his stock of this clunker...

Ugly? It is all in the eye of the beholder. For what it's worth, I thought that the genuine was horrid... and the rep was even worse. I don't know what Omega thought that they were doing with this one. Just my opinion. Others may love it.

Joshua showed me a prototype last October. I didn't give it a detailed inspection because it isn't a watch that appeals to me. Just personal taste. But (for me) the outstanding feature was the cyclops. It really works! I'm hoping that this will, in time, trickle down to our Pams...

Computator? I thought it was a tripewriter with a telly on the top.

Ken... this forum needs a looey bin! Already...

There was extensive discussion on this subject - 6 pages, I think - within Davidsen's forum on RWI. I hope that narrows the search for you.

Call me old-fashioned... but I don't have an iPod, don't have an iTunes account, don't have an MP3 player. In fact, I'm so stuck in the past that I still wear watches that are powered by clockwork.

Video iPods? iTunes? MP3? All far too techie for me.

Hey! Some of my best friends are stalkers

This a troll-post. Why is everyone feeding this troll?

Avoid the riff-raff, common people and low posters ... I will be selling tickets to a Private View of The Zigmeister's yard sale. Black tie, please, gentlemen.

It has nothing to do with your government. Just a bit of harmless racial sterotyping It is probably equally untrue to say that all Scots are mean or that all Irish are a little bit thick - but that isn't going to stop the jokes being told. For instance... did you know that copper wire was a Scottish invention? It happened one day, when two Jocks were fighting over a penny...

I love it when a plan comes together...

Don't be silly... if the bearing was no good the rotor wouldn't whizzzzzz....

Without a doubt. And you need to have had a taste by-pass, too. So I'll be buying two... one for each wrist.

Ah... Americans.

Added to Joshua's site today... I'm speechless - and that doesn't happen very often.

@Usil... thanks, some useful advice there... I appreciate you taking the time.

The Hatter was the first to break the silence. `What day of the month is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear. Alice considered a little, and then said `The fourth.' `Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. `I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added looking angrily at the March Hare. `It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied. `Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled: `you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife.' The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, `It was the BEST butter, you know.'

I received an early Christmas present... a friend of mine has just upgraded his camera - and gave me his old Fujifilm S1 Pro. Wow! An obsolete camera, of course... but it is a joy to be able to use all my old 35mm Nikon lenses again. Here is my first attempt... Criticism from real photographers would be welcomed! Lightbox - two polypropylene lever-arch files. Lighting - three halogen desk lamps. Lens - Nikkor 35-70mm macro, F22, 0.25 second exposure. Post production - brightened in "levels", background fluff cloned out. Nothing clever - I have neither the skill nor the software... I don't have PhotoShop, I'm using Micrographics Picture Publisher 10.0 - an application that came free with a computer magazine, several years ago.

You have probably thought of this... but the chrono won't work unless there is a decent amount of power in the mainspring. If you haven't already done so, try wearing the watch for an hour or so... then press the button.

... or wear one of your prettier dresses.

Best looking winders that I have ever seen! Does anyone know a supplier of these products based in Europe?

Great photos! What do you think of the watch? I have been looking forward to reading a review of the 076, so your impressions would be appreciated.

I wish I were still that supple...
