I'm looking forward to seeing Lunar Dust version.
My two quibbles for both though -- (1) I do wish they could produce thinner cased 9300s; these are awfully tall on the wrist, and (2) with the '6' subdial now eliminated, I can't figure out why they're not enlarging the '3' and '9' subdials, as they did for the 57. The larger subdials, especially the one now with two hands at '3', are just so much easier to read. Why insist on maintaining the smaller size at the expense of practicality and ease of use?
Omega Dark Side Of The Moon - The ultimate chronograph?
Team, Last Thursday late afternoon I did a quick stop at my watchmaker to grab a watch that was receiving full cleaning and oiling (A JLC Master Compressor Geographic, if one ask) and I bumped on a know seller that is also a customer. Quick chat and he me...
Congrats !
looks like a really exciting watch. Looking forward to your full wrist report some time soon. Cheers !
And somehow the words...
..."I must sell this watch!" magically translate into "You must buy this watch!" :) It was meant to be yours. Love it!
A lesson to watch Boutiques ...
Stop using those focused halogen lamps!!! When I saw the DSOTM there, it was under my eyes, way too bling. Now, under ALL light conditions a very discrete and almost "under the radar" watch. Back to the sale/buy, my original target was a gorgeous Panerai ...

No worries ...
It were two unimportant pieces of my small set. If I could learn anything on this hobby is that one needs to have two or three "cats" (watches with some demand but without being part of your focus) always ready to go when you try to cut a deal. I characte...
That's the problem with collecting Omega. I can't bear to part . . .
. . . with any of mine! And the one I let go is the one I want back . . .

Congrats!
Congrats Nilo! Had mine for 2 weeks and I love it. Looking forward to your review! ...
Thank you very much ....
The review will come but, first, I need an excuse to remove the best chronograph ever, from my wrist. Amazing watch!!! Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations, Nilo.
As an aside, I have searched and searched, but have thus far been unable to locate either tear-down images or an exploded view of the 9300/1. Do you know if such a thing exists?
About the 9300 exploded view ...
It seems that Omega and other manufacturers are keeping the cards close to their chest. It may be a patent issue. The external design of the 9300 Speedmaster was granted only in 2012. I go to check to see if anyone has the maintenance manual. I had the sa...

If someone sends me the watch, I'll tear it down ...
iPhones get dismantled the day they come out, so ... Why don\'t we just take watches apart in the same way? Mike
Congratulations Nilo...
Wear it in the best of health! I hope you are enjoy your new Speedy very much. And yes, the lighting in jewerly store or I guess boutiques as well stinks! Why can they not have clean white natural light!? Best, -- Richard.
I don't know what to say. This is one of those moments when...
...we say "it is written in the stars" I guess. Something is really meant to be. I like everything about this watch except for the price (surely) and the faintly visible ZrO2 symbol above the dial center. But I have since learned to overcome my perfection...
