Omega

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...  

looks like a really exciting watch. Looking forward to your full wrist report some time soon. Cheers !

..."I must sell this watch!" magically translate into "You must buy this watch!" :) It was meant to be yours. Love it!

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 ... 

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 f... 

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... 

. . . with any of mine! And the one I let go is the one I want back . . .

. . . the power of the dark side." Nilo . . . . . . knows. :-) ...  

You and Darth, of course. Cheers, Nilo

Congrats Nilo! Had mine for 2 weeks and I love it. Looking forward to your review! ...  

The review will come but, first, I need an excuse to remove the best chronograph ever, from my wrist. Amazing watch!!! Cheers, 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?

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...

iPhones get dismantled the day they come out, so ... Why don\'t we just take watches apart in the same way? Mike

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.

...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...
