martijnp Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thank you very much for the interesting review. I can't wait for the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Excellent review, ww, and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics. Shame about the bracelet; I wonder if the gen is like that? After all, Omega made a big deal out of its revised Moon Watch, which is basically the same as the last Speedmaster Professional, but with a screwed bracelet and a fancier box. Yeah, I can't imagine the gen being really sturdy if it's put together the same way... I wonder if the Rolex screws are patented? (can they even patent something like that?)

lhooq Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah, I can't imagine the gen being really sturdy if it's put together the same way... I wonder if the Rolex screws are patented? (can they even patent something like that?) It really makes you admire whoever designed the IWC Ingenieur/Aquatimer bracelet: Grab two toothpicks and you can resize it in less than a minute!

ww12345 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Apparently the gen Omega is that way - friction pins capped by screws. How strange (and stupid, IMHO). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Here are some quick pics I took today showing the approximate size. Like I said, not a bad watch size overall. Also, my wrist is really small, so it shows how wearable of a watch this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Looking good! I know I shouldn't be surprised by the factories anymore, but it's crazy how you're wearing yours while gens aren't expected in shops until the end of the year, at the soonest.

ww12345 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Haha - I was thinking that earlier today! I know a lot of people here (myself included) are always worried about minor "tells" but I think a massive tell is a rep of a watch that won't be out for another month!

ww12345 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks! On another note, just heard from Omega that the gen Seamaster won't be released until February... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks! On another note, just heard from Omega that the gen Seamaster won't be released until February... last i heard it was November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 People over at the gen forum keep thinking that it will come out Novemberish, but official word from all the ADs is February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Is this QC picture OK? Is the number 10 too close or is this just the angle of the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Angle I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asciwhite Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah!! I am going to need one of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luc717 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Looks incredible mate, thanks for sharing! The 10 is probably a little close but it seems like it is on all of them. Plus the 50 looks a bit close too, so it's probably mostly the angle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donerix 2.0 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Got mine yesterday. Feels very solid, but the bracelet was way to shiny for me. I had a suede 20mm strap in my luggage and mounted it instead and now I REALLY love the watch: Nice surprise: the watch head is fully polished between the lugs so there is now unpleasant raw metal showing. Great for people that prefer this on a strap !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 That combo looks amazing! Want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yeah, Omega really hit a home run with this one... Makes you wonder why Rolex can't get their act together. Take note Rolex - this might be the first new gen I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donerix 2.0 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Got this one from Sead, one week door to door. runs well, maybe not the smoothest sweep there is, but no rotor noise (drives me crazy on reps...). Haven't taken it in the water yet (suede might not be the permanent solution, maybe I make a canvas strap for it). Movement looks great (correct 8400), I do wish though they had not tried to write a whole manual on the case back. Looks too crowded IMHO, but then I don't see myself taking this one off any time soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusky158 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I have been lurking about reading up on this thread - I was getting hooked to start with but your strap on that 300 just sets it off to a tee. The colours compliment the hour markers really well on those pics, I think this'll be the standard for my next purchase and put it on one if your straps far better than the bracelet IMO.
