Since you asked about straps
Zabreg1 Mr White-sir,
As there are so many straps, I'm assuming Omega planned for many strap changes.
Does that mean that they also thought about quick-release mechanisms for changing?
Or do you still need steady hands, tools and abstinence from rakija?
Regards,
MTF
Finally. The Trilogy lands.
After an agonizing wait, I finally took possession of the Trilogy. So, without further ado, here are some quick pics: Some closeups: And, of course, playing with some straps. Very curious to hear how you guys would pair the straps and watches, I am comple...
Big congrats my friend. Happy to see that one of your Christmas gifts finally landed
Enjoy and wear them in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro
Hey Z!
Congratulations. WHat a fun day. Honestly, that trilogy set looks so much fun to play with. The wait is agonizing. I had lunch with my AD yesterday and he told me there is STILL no sign. Agggh. Patience is a ..... No. I look forward to hearing which strap...
Thanks Joe.
I am sure it will show up soon for you. I wasn't expecting it and the call came out of the blue. I am playing with some strap combinations for now, but in the end, they will end up on the desk, just as you described. Oh, and you (actually Mrs. Baron) were...
Huge congratulations, my friend. Very happy to see that all went well.
As for the strap, I would put the cognac on the Railmaster and the brown on the Seamaster. Enjoy, and have fun. Best, Nicolas
Thanks for the opinion, nico.
I think there will be many more changes before I settle on something.
What a cool set
I saw it in the flesh and the se watches look amazing. Enjoy and wear them in health. GEO
Thanks, nilo.
I did have to jump through many hoops, but I got it. Now, for the honeymoon phase.

Yes, all of the above.
To be honest, it is fairly tough to get those pins out, I almost gave up. Almost. But, one correction: Rakija helps as it steadies your hand.
The watches are fantastic but ...
The leather straps ... falls very short. I ordered a more appropriate ones from my trusty artisan. 19mm/16mm, distressed soft leather. Cheers, Nilo ...
You are 100% right.
I have been wearing the brown leather for less than 8 hours and the tip is already coming apart. Unbelievable! Thankfully, I have to order for something else and I found a local artisan so I will be visiting him soon. Poor job on the straps by Omega.
Huge congrats my friend 👏🏼🍾
I know you where very excited about getting these stunning watches , they are a great trio 👌🏻. About the strap change , is it a quick link system ? I think i like the bracelets the most but would love to see some great pics from you with different options...
Thanks, my friend.
Unfortunately, it is not quick change. Standard spring-loaded pin. The bracelets are nice, the only problem, IMO, is that the push release buttons are a bit large. But yeah, they are pretty good.
How good to see that the Trilogy and you both have landed safely :-)
Does it meet your expectations? And what do you think about the Trilogy inscription on the dial? As for your strap question that is hard to tell from the distance. If I cannot decide I put one until I think another one would be better. Sometimes one lasts...
The wives would be right.
The watches really exceed my expectations. The inscription does not bother me, I hardly even notice it. But I kind of like the idea of having it, just to distinguish the set (humblebrag???). I will post more photos of more combos as soon as the pin stops ...
Hmmmm, I need to try harder, then.
How about I don’t know how I’m going to incorporate a whole new row in the Omega pyramid? Cause it will happen.
Getting better
I don’t know how I am going to incorporate a new level into my Omega pyramid. Silly me, if I can do it with Patek, I can do it with omega. Getting there.
As to the straps...
... I personally only like the two brown Natos, I agree wholeheartedly with Nilo on the leather straps. So my suggestion is: Bracelet for the Speedy Light brown Nato for the Seamaster: Something else for the Railmaster 😉 Cheers Henrik ...
Thanks for the recommendation, Henrik.
You always have a great eye. I will try all those.
Congratulations!
What a big day! Can you please share which one is your favorite of the three?
Tough to say.
So far, I have worn the Railmaster the most. But now I changed from bracelets and will wear the others. And I need the sea to properly evaluate the Seamaster.
Huge congrats Mr White!
And just in time for the holidays! 👍 To answer your question, i like the bracelet paired with the Speedmaster .. Best regards - - seeks
What a White Christmas! Congratulations 🎉🎊
I will probably have the same problem choosing the perfect combination of straps, Nato or bracelet for each watch. With my untrained and trembling hands, a quick change mechanism will definitely help. Enjoy the trio, very happy deliveries are going on...t...
You’re right about the numbers.
Haven’t thought of that before. And yeah, it’s fun playing around. But not easy for a DIY idiot like myself.
Thank you Mr. Blue.
I know you would appreciate certain little touches that are ‘period correct’.
I hope you get it soonas well.
I am wearing the speedy tomorrow with a strap as a test drive.
Whenever questions like this come up, my guide . . .
. . . is to ask, "What would Clint do?" In this case, I'd say Clint would go for bracelets on all three. Congrats, Z . . . I'll wear my Rail today in your honor. Art
Thanks, Art.
As soon as I laid my eyes on the RM, I thought back to early May and our visit to the Omega boutique. And when I first wore it, again thought ‘now I don’t have to be jealous of Art anymore’.
Thank you, Juan.
They are all gorgeous in their own way. Speedy is the choice for the day.
Big congrats my friend
the wait is over. This looks like a big toy box that will provide many hours of playing
I can imagine
Customs officer: "Sir, what is that crate you're carrying?" Zabreg1: "uhmm, toys...you know...to play..." Customs officer: "Ah, Xmas for the kids....move on."
