Omega

Team, Yesterday was my birthday (Oh boy, I'm old!!) and thanks to a dear friend I was able to "unload" some watches that I got for several reasons but they got zero wrist time (no, they never got a picture here) and I could negotiate a much wanted Omega S...  

No message body

The '57 was "lost" among all Basel 2013 releases. On his always perfect coverage, Marcus Hanke wrote about this watch in Basel 2013: " And, finally, my favourite, that is currently stealing my sleep: Before Basel, I was definitely certain not to purchase ... 

A watchmaker I respect a lot called the movement "Fantastic design, perhaps industry's best". He also praised the quality vs. price ratio and added that the movement is nicely finished. I also like the design and these factors kicked the watch to a very h... 

I'm sure that you go to enjoy every second of this watch. Cheers, Nilo

That is a charmer as its owner ,) Best D

Great definition for this watch. A charm. Cheers, Nilo

What a present, which only proves that good things comes to those who wait...or age ;-) I love that layout and blue!

It's a very cool watch to celebrate my entry on the old age. Cheers, Nilo

And congrats on the new Speedmaster. Didn't remember seeing this one when it was launched. Looks great with the blue dial and the red accents. Regards, ED-209

I. Love to dig a watch that didn't got too much "air time". Great size, dial and outstanding movement. Cheers, Nilo

Great present and good to see you photography skills are still superb....!!! Yours my friend, Andy.

Glad that you are back. I'm still using "your" camera, the glorious Canon EOS M. I will be waiting for your fantastic pictures. Cheers, Nilo

Which lens were you using for these shots..? Yes I'm back from being AWOL..!! Andy.

I'm staying plain and simple with the 22mm "pancake". Cheers, Nilo

So crisp and clear it's beautiful....and means it fits in your pocket..!! Pocket SLR :) The 100 mm L is the other favourite for special work and portraits..!! Great pics as usual, Andy.

The overall proportions are great and that blue dial is killer Still, I'm partial to the classicism of your Omega FOIS...hard to beat that one, even despite the merits of the cal. 9300 Cheers, John

One should have the FOIS and this one (can I call it the Blue Side Of The Moon?). Cheers, Nilo

. . . then, consolidate." :-) Good move, Nilo - turning many unworn into one keeper! A solitary pic . . . . . . from my 2013 photo files. Yes, it's the same blue dial - just washed out by the red background of the light tent. Art ...  

I was not speculating. I did the unnamed watches acquisition to help another friend. I'm happy that everything went well and I ended up with the '57. Cheers, Nilo

. . . the first time, before you realized they were destined to be drawer queens. When it comes to speculating for profit, I stick with equities. The only watch I ever parted with that didn't cost more than it brought was my Mk II. That's the only one I w... 

The way to have a small fortune with watches is to start with a big fortune. Cheers, Nilo

That is a great b-gift! :) Congrats! Best Blomman

The rusty GP chronograph stays on my meager stable. Cheers, Nilo

Co-Axial movement, and like their Dark Side or Grey Side of the Moon watch....maybe someday... Rgds Raymond

Go for the show, the DSOTM is gorgeous. Cheers, Nilo

I think enlarging the bi-compax subdials, especially now that the one at '3' has two hands, improves legibility tremendously, and was a brilliant idea. I'm surprised they maintain the original subdial sizes on other 9300s. Those look puny now with the abs... 

The '57 dial/subdials looks more balanced than other versions of the 9300 caliber. Looking the DSOTM, as an example: But I still love the DSOTM. Cheers, Nilo ...  

.. The play of light must be awesome ! Also love the 2-compax layout. Wear her in the Best of your health ! Splendid pics, as always, thx for sharing ! Best, hs

Da best! Enjoy...

o melhor. Cheers, Nilo

I was so busy this week that I barely had time to celebrate. Cheers, Nilo

Belated happy birthday and congratulations to you. Sharp and clear photographs as usual. Ruckdee

I'm in love with this '57. Currently my coolest Speedmaster. Cheers, Nilo
