Why must the new regress so from the old?

But there's a special charm on the old ones that makes it stands out even though it's small in size Sam

. . . a Cyma tank on another forum with 'Tavannes' script on the black dial. Another I could wear every day . . . until my Omegas called, of course. ;-)

To wear it with long sleeve but over here where I am I don't wear long sleeve as much. Thanks for the kind word my friend! Sam

Cyma/Tavannes do share a lot of their watches, or perhaps they're actually sister company ? Your omegas are truly special, I'm sure would be a pleasure to have any of them on the wrist! Sam

You have a very good taste (I also like the Rolex 5500 "explorer" super precision on the other thread).
