Dr No's visit to the Omega boutique in Los Angeles offers a timely look at the latest Planet Ocean and Speedmaster models. His keen eye for detail, particularly regarding the aesthetic impact of the date elimination on the Caliber 9908, sparks a valuable discussion on design choices and wearability. This article synthesizes community insights, providing a comprehensive perspective on these contemporary Omega offerings.
I really wish they would show more of the movement, 75% of it is hidden which is a real bummer.
The centering of applied hour markers. Look at the 12 o’clock marker on the Speedy, for example. Once magnified and observed, I cannot unsee this.
Is supposedly ‘if you cannot see it from 30cm then it isn’t a problem’ that they will generally fix. I hear you, though - so another boutique with a better aligned one, then 🤞🏻👍🏻
If they had been off I would have never forgiven you 🤣😂😆🥹🤪
. . . of the marker. Looks like light on the top of the marker and shadow at the bottom makes it appear to be shifted up. Unfortunately adding light and magnification causes our photo uploader to shrink the size of the image. Send me a pm with your e-mail address, characters separated by a space so that our filter doesn't hide it, and I'll send you the raw file so you can see the marker up close. From my screen the shift appears to be an optical illusion; let us know your thoughts after examinin
What you’re actually seeing is the highlight on the outside of the marker and the highlight on the inside of the marker, which makes it look not centered.
