Omega

I don't believe anybody has ever posted real world pictures of this undeniably remarkable watch on this forum. I present to you my wife's Omega. Yep, it's spectacular and unreal but my woman deserves nothing less. When Omega pull out all the stops, they sure know how to make amazing watches like this DeVille. Most people know nothing about Omega at this level, so, given the rareness of the watch, I thought I'd do a thorough pictorial review of the watch. I also give Bill permission to highlight my post for an 'editors pick'. Anyway, putting aside all simplicity and naivety, never was there a watch more successful at achieving the goals it was made for than this DeVille. So no, lol, the watch is not merely for telling the time or for fashionable wrist decoration to complete some outfit. However, somethings are better left unsaid, so I'll leave it at that because it'll only breed confusion, misunderstanding and worst things besides. Anyway, the watch has gob smacking presence on the wrist. In fact, sometimes I find it down right annoying how sales people flock around my wife and fawn at her feet.  They won't leave us alone!! At first it was amusing enough but now it's just painful, contemptible and very superficial. Lol, I'd also say Rolex wearers, just like myself,  are distinctly defensive when they see the chocolate DeVille and discover it's an Omega. Of course, I personally don't mind that it's a much MUCH better watch than my Daytona. It's better designed, better made, better finished, has a nicer movement and is more accurate too. I can tell you all that the watch is AMAZINGLY accurate, reliable and consistent and has been so for more than three years. From personal experience, ownership and testing, I'd rate the 3313 as a better movement than the Rolex 4130 any day of the week.

The blinged out crown is a favourite with the ladies alright and the pink mother of pearl subdials are as pretty as they are feminine. These feminine touches show just how well Omega understand female sensibilities. The polished mirror finish of the DeVille case is brilliant under lights. The chocolate design is one of the finest horological design concepts in the last decade. It's incredibly good. WOW!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Pete

Nice watch and photos. Your correct that Omega does get overlooked in this area...  

On a side note,  you never contacted me as I asked.  Do you have access to the PM on this site?

Good Hunting

We got confirmation this afternoon that my wife's latest Omega has arrived. I won't say what it is, but it's just as spectacular as the chocolate DeVille and just as rare as well. Neither the watch or the magnificent movement has ever been seen on this forum or indeed on ANY of the other forums. I'll only say that it beats at 25200 bph, has silicon, the latest generation of the coaxial escapement and is completely blinged out. Lol, even the movement is blinged out!!! Her girl friends are gonna feel so jealous and I hope they don't choke on their cosmopolitans. This watch is the complete expression of Omega's horological aesthetic. It truly is a wonder! You'll see what I mean! I wouldn't dare give my wife, a great woman, something that is common. She doesn't deserve it. What is really wonderful is the effort Omega is making to look after the ladies with high end state of the art horology. Mere bling alone just will not do and I can't thank Omega enough for realizing this. I truly get a kick out of seeing my wife wearing stunning Omegas.

Invariably I'm always disappointed that our better halves have the lesser watch while the guy has the better watch. It's very typical. I find it incredibly condescending, and indeed sexist, the prejudice that woman are happy enough with quartz watches, that somehow they have an inability to appreciate good mechanical watches, or least that mechanical watches don't interest them!!!!!! Just like the better husbands, the better manufacturers like Omega know otherwise.

The book you guys are looking at and on which the superb Omega chocolate DeVille is placed, is something very rare and precious just like the watch. It's the first edition of Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. It's very special to own such a landmark work. I also own other rare first edition books too and, for whatever reason, I like to wear my Hour Vision Annual Calendar when I'm reading one of these masterpieces.

She get's compliments on it all the time, mostly from people who know what it is.

I salute you sir. I'm sure she looks out of this world. It's amazing watch. I'm genuinely happy for both of you. I'd be interested to know how and why you choose this watch because it's rare and uncommon. I'm wondering which version your better half is wearing because this watch got a recent update with gold outlines around the subdials.

We really need to see the watch. Pictures are an absolute necessity in this case. Please start posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
