docblackrock Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 What with the PO in overdrive, is it just me or has THIS beauty slipped by unnoticed and unloved.....? Personally I think it's just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi doc...I'm the last person in the world to dislike ANY Omega. But I don't like this particular model too much. I could live with those huge hour numerals but that weird, oversized Omega text & logo kills it for me. I guess I'm too conservative.

tonibari Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I like it, but does this one come in none chrono? Ciao, Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 but that weird, oversized Omega text & logo kills it for me. I guess I'm too conservative. Could be, or maybe I'm too eclectic? actually you know that's what I thought at first but the logo sort of grew on me esp on this model (it looks weird on other dials), that and the retro-looking numeral indices. The red-needled subdials are very sharp, set off the black dial very well. Add in the black rubber strap and you have a winner IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Here you go By-Tor, just for you, a little more conservative... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Yeah. You know what I like. I'm not too crazy about ANY of the Omega Special Editions. Bond, Olympics, etc. A bit cheesy (imho). The old 007 SMP is nice though... but I still prefer the standard version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 There was a speedmaster with a 6 9 12 subdial orientation and this large retro Omega logo at some point over the last year... now there's one i'd like to see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwert750 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 To follow on Jonathan's comment, I don't know why you don't see the 6-9-12 orientation Speedmasters. The problem with the moonwatch and broad arrow is the incorrect subdial spacing - sorry, I just can't get over this obvious flaw. Repping one of the 6-9-12's with the 7750-like spacing would allow a near perfect rep ala the tag chrono... I would love to see either of these...
