Ben Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 It was my birthday on the 8th of Feb, I bought this beauty from Timezone. I will let the pictures do the talking! All in all a very good birthday! Can anyone recommend me a good strap? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Wow... that's a classy watch indeed. Great birthday present, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I really wanted the version without the date which is powered by a lemania handwind movement just like the 1964 version, but was twice as expensive! Do you know if it would be possible to get a 19mm hornback strap made, or do people think it wouldnt be the right look? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 It's a beauty. May it treat you well! Hornback won't look right with that watch. It's too dramatic, and the beauty of this piece is its understated lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forp891 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ben, what does the caseback says? Can you please post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Great choice. I saw this on TZ and loved the pictures. Equally, I love the watch and the pics you have shared with us, wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 The strap on it at the minute is quite heavily used by the last owner, a replacement OEM is $250! I guess its just me being picky but all I can imagine is some other guys sweat on me! If anyone knows where to get an aftermarket strap from I would be greatful! Its 19mm tapering to about 17mm and its really thin at the clasp end only 1mm I have found a site selling the black perforated strap for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letter Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Very nice Ben I'm guessing the strap makers here could make them to your specification? I'll be selling my black dialed one in the next couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shundi Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Nice watch.... I recently purchased a gen Omega 2599.80 - those gen chronographs are wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 So Silent and such a smooth sweeping action, never owned Swiss before but I can't hear the thing tick even against my ear! Thats something the girlfriend appreciates, she can normally hear them ticking if I leave them on the bedside table, drives her potty! (I dont do it deliberatly...honestly!)
