anyway a stunner
Hi Pistol Pete
Don't get me wrong, and excuse me if you feel I did step on your toes. You watch is a beautiful piece indeed.
I really really like the looks of the hour vision, but I have difficulties with the sapphire on the side. Maybe I just need to wear it longer than the 2x20 min at the AD. But regardless of my difficulties with the sapphire sides, the dial, the shape and the calibre is just stunning.
And thanks for sharing your great pictures.
Difficulties to please, yes probably 
Cheers
Hans
New pictures of a vision splendor, my Hour Vision Annual Calendar
This is a precious watch. Nothing explains the feeling of wearing this masterpiece from Omega. It's what Omega magic is all about. The superlative case illuminates the stunning movement and seems to suspend it in pure light. The cal 8601 is the finest ser...
Thanks...
After I sell my old SMAT co-axial 2500C movmement watch, I may go for the AT with the 8500 movement. I like the full bridge on the balance wheel, etc. =:^D
a truly beautiful watch Pete
i know i love vintage Omegas, but i also like some of the new Omegas. this has to be the nicest new Omega on the market, apart from the Central Tourbillon RG/chocolate of course. i've had the pleasure of trying that on in the flesh, but still waiting to s...
Thank you Graham
I feel the same way with your overall verdict. I'd rather not have the 'annual calendar' text on there but the watch is nigh on perfect. It's next to impossible to get a new watch without excessive writing on it. As an owner, you just accept it the way it...
hi Pete, you'll probably...
hi Pete, you'll probably not like my opinion on what speedmaster to get after your earlier comments on vintage watches, but if you like the 321 movement above all else buy a vintage speedy. i personally dont think there is a modern speedmaster out there t...
about the pictures.......
The pictures are posted one on top of the other, in regular fashion. I don't know why it doesn't appear that way when you see it. Strange to say, I like using the Opera browser, and it sometimes acts flakey. So maybe that might be it. In Opera or Explorer...
i dont know why your...
i dont know why your pics are doing that as i use ie or firefox, mainly ie. how do you upload them onto the site? i use the basic uploader which adds them one at a time. the tech guys will be better to advise you as they know how the site works better tha...
Hmmm
I've always found these a little garish rather than subtle/dressy. But if that's your thing, enjoy! Love the concept of the case construction, but why does it have to be so thick?
Pete, i've checked the website and found a speedy which might suit you
its the 50th anniversary enamelled dial with handwind co-axial 3201 movement. i would think that is a very good compromise between the iconic handwind and the 3313 co-axial you like so much. i cant understand why it isnt chronometer certified like the 331...
I almost bought one
Sorry for not responding sooner. I put a big deposit down on an enamel 50th anniversary Speedmaster. This was in the morning. When I arrived later in the day with the rest of the money, I took a closer look at the Speedy. To my utter horror, I detected a ...
thats a shame Pete as...
thats a shame Pete as i think the rest of the watch looks superb. they should have taken it away for a replacement bezel, knocked some off the price as a matter of courtesy and customer service and still sold it to you. as for the Daytona, i've never take...
What's your opinion of this Speedy?????
After I gave my broadarrow to my brother, I've been without a Speedmaster. I'd really like to wear one again _ _ _ _...
i really like that pete....
i really like that pete. its not a moonwatch, but its a great looking watch with great build quality. i dont know much about movements, but if this is as good or better than my railmaster then its damn good. i think the dial is a great colour, the hands a...
nice piece..
...Pistol And great pictures..! I love the calibre and the dial, but have difficulties with the see-through sides. That's why I actually decided to purchase the Aqua Terra Annual Calendar. But on that watch I don't like the way the date window is more clo...
Difficult to please are you?
I'm quite baffled after reading your post. What could these supposed, 'difficulties' be with respect to the sapphire sides of the Hour Vision????? First and foremost, the sapphires sides are not literally see-through. That is just factually incorrect. Any...
Hello, Pete. Hans is as entitled to his opinion . . .
. . . as you are to yours. If he has difficulties coming to terms aesthetically with the sapphire panes in the case . . . . . . that would be his call to make. Same with the lozenge-shaped calendar aperture. I tend to agree with Hans about the sapphire pa...
my apologies Art. i was typing my reply when you posted this
so i didnt realise that you had already posted something. i hope i didnt tread on your toes. best Graham
No need to apologize, Graham. Freedom of expression . . .
. . . is of paramount importance on these forums, but so is common courtesy. I'm willing to wait for Pistol Pete's reply to get the measure of him . . . patiently, Art
Pete, i dont think there is any need to reply to Hans in the way you did
firstly, i'm not a moderator nor ever likely to be one, but having been a regular contributor on this forum for a number of years i think i have the right to say what i am about to say. when you first came onto the forum you were, to be polite, antagonist...
Well put, Graham.
You don't need to be a Moderator to bring up the very pertinent points of your post.
Well said. Thanks for your eloquent remarks.
I wanted to say the same thing you did but my way of saying it would probably just anger Pete even more. Ruckdee

Hans, I'm just about as difficult to please as you are.
There are so many instances where I like a certain watch very much but it was like 2 mm. too big or too small and I decided against it, saving my hard-earned money for something else that would satisfy me better. I think it is human nature although mine m...
Is Awsome!!
What a WONDERFUL watch!! CONGRATULATIONS Pete !! You had said well, is a very succesfull combination of dial, movement and case. This watch is at top of the line. It represents the Omega "State of the Industry". Wear it in the best of health and prosperit...
Despite the mishap above, I'd still like to congratulate you...
...on this beautiful watch bought. I think, with the Hour Vision, Omega is doing something that is innovative and understated but not too plain at the same time. Personally I would have settled with the normal calendar version because I cannot justify the...
