Watches - another OCD problem
-
I'm digging all this newfound appreciation for color. It's a nice change of pace. That does bring up a personal peeve- I don't like when the date wheel doesn't match the dial color. It just looks cheap and/or lazy, especially on something like the Big Pilot with the jumbo date.
That panda Tudor is great, though.
-
@Chris 100% agree with everything you just stated! Date wheel not matching dial is just bonkers and anytime I see it happen it instantly kills the rest of the watch for me!!
-
Nomos has been doing some cool color combos for the Club line for a while now, these look like they fit in well. A bunch of posts back I saw you posted about a smaller GO diver, now that is lovely!
I love all the GS buzz in this thread and some day I want to own another. I have to say though that my Snowflake made me paranoid after I had it for a few years. I’ve heard servicing a SD movement is slow and expensive AF. I still love them but sold mine for something else.

Whilst I agree with @Chris that the trend for coloured dials is good, I'd argue that the Big Pilot with the big date works with the contrast against the dial as it's drawing attention to the feature.
That said, the Bucherer Blue version looks really sharp. Shame they didn't got with a cermet case and crown to really make it stealth.

Picked this up today. Switched the strap for a nato. So happy!

^^^wow that is a big shot.
Well done, Sir, very fine piece. Definitely one of the best automatic movement! @Cutlasshound -
Nice one @Cutlasshound, that's currently my favorite GS model! I like the day to day usability of the Nato as well.
-
Those look really good. It will be interesting to see how they are in real pictures.

@Chris - There are a few IRL pictures here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/2021-omega-novelties-in-the-flesh.130096/

had a chance to try on the yellow gold and silver Tudors. pleasantly surprised with how good it looks. idiotic me forgot to take a picture to show you all. I'll try and get them again..
-
Damn @Giles! That's one of my fave modern day watches. So, so lovely. How do you like it?
-
It was my dream watch for years, then I was offered a really good deal on it. Had to sell a few body parts…
I put the Nato on it last week, in the process I found out that the strap bars are screw-in lug bars, so I have just ordered a 0.9mm Allen key and some Tamiya thread lock (and spare lug-bars and screws in case I strip the thread), so I can put a non-Nato on it....
-
The No Rad edition? That’s one hell of a score, congrats!

went back to take another look at the Tudor black bay but the gold is no longer on display. wonder if they've already sold it..
for now, the silver. They had another one with the fabric strap but that's gone too. this model comes with the leather strap. the grey dial and bezel does look good and complement the silver case well. not sure if anyone can tell the difference from a far between silver and stainless steel but the finishes are completely different.
