Thanks and Well-Done
As one of the (evidently many) wronged parties, I thought it best to stay out of the fray and let the process work itself through. And it has. Thanks to all (especially Bill and Graham) for dealing with this matter in a forthright and appropriate manner.
Now to the subject at hand....feel free to take substantive, watch-focused dispute with my posting!! Back to the debate!!
Cheers

The OMEGA Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial
When OMEGA created the first Speedmaster in 1957, no one could have imagined what adventures lay in store for the watch that would become the world’s most famous chronograph. The new Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial collection introduces some stylish addi...
i love that dial with the honeycomb sub dials.
apart from that though, its not much different from any other broad arrow. Omega, please give us more innovation, you know you want too graham
he he, had the same thought :-)
But I love the subdials and the vertical lines.. yummie Cheers Hans
Disappointing
Although I am a past owner of Omega (on five occasions) and generally admired the brand (particularly for its ability to bring horological innovation to us affordably), this model disappoints me on several levels: At 44.25 mm, this watch is a bit too big ...
hey DB, we dont like...
hey DB, we dont like this speedy, but you NEED an Omega in your collection. its in the rules best Graham...
Agreed in large measure . . .
. . . regarding the aesthetics of this particular model. The sizing isn't to my taste, but it's not objectionable, either. Here are two Speedmasters in the identical case with the same movement as the featured Broad Arrow . . . . . . and a third variation...
your criticisms are way way overstated
Let me respond in the order you wrote. 1) The first criticism relating to size fails to hit the mark in a number of ways. Most importantly, the iconic speedmaster, i.e. the moon watch, is unchanged and is still at the traditional size of 42mm. Your remark...
Pete, why do you always...
Pete, why do you always insist on forcing your opinion on others and belittling others opinions. this forum allows freedom of speech (as long as it is polite) even if what the person says doesnt make sense to others. if someone types something that contra...
Well Bowled Graham
A straight, honest ball delivered right down the middle of the stumps. No-one should be attacked for offering a personal opinion, and I note that DBD delivered his in a way that took personal ownership of his points and allowed that others may think diffe...
Not very Nice!!!!
You must have been having a bad day but it is entirely unacceptable to demean or criticize one's opinion about a watch! I do not agree with everyone's opinion and I am sure all do not agree with mine but I like to read how people perceive different manufa...
Pete AND EVERYONE please read.
HI Pete... Well let me just say it simply . Do not post on my forum anymore. You are not welcome here . Regards Bill Sohne PS .... No need to PM me either.
thanks Bill. i apologise...
thanks Bill. i apologise to anyone, except Pete, who may have been offended by my response to him. i am normally extremely polite, but sometimes these things need to be said for the good of the forum in general. best regards from one of your polite member...
You are so right...
.....you are probably one of the nicest and most polite people I have ever come across. What you wrote was correct and to the point. But also to the point so it finally should be understood. I have to admit. I have been "attacked" a few times on this foru...

broard arrow
got as far as your number 3 and wondered why you need to be so offensive to the op?

Jordan, if your referring to pistol pete dont worry as he no longer has posting privileges on the forum. regards Graham
The dial's neclassicism follows the current fashion ....
... by adding always more design elements, more frames, more stripes, more facets, more geometric shapes, more surface treatments, following the ornamental dogma of "more is better". This was the case already with the De Ville "Hour Vision", the new AquaT...
Honeycomb subdials, YES...
...the other aesthetic choices on this piece (large case dimension, Geneva waves dial, broad arrow hands), er, not so much. Why does this watch need to be so large? Not Omega's best effort IMO. Cheers, Daos
