. . . it's on my wrist. It's not an enthusiasts watch by any means. And I don't need a modern everyday dress watch; there are plenty of vintages in my collection to keep me happy, plus a few current production models. But I still find myself thinking abou... 

. . . including Eternas and Blancpains as well as Omegas. I've seriously contemplated a few, including the titanium Ploprof. But every time I start thinking about actually getting one, other priorities get in the way. Frankly, between any modern Seamaster...

. . . at some point, Nicolas, but my priorities are a ref 2514 (or 15) bumper chronometer and a ref 2410 30T2SCrg. Those are still attainable targets. If a current production watch is going to be in store next year, there's already a GS and a Zenith on th...

Speedy and Rollie then?

. . . your appreciation!

These are very popular in many parts of the world. The design is great and the quality of any modern Omega is awesome. Offside the beaten paths of the Speedmaster and Seamaster sports models there are many fine references in the Omega catalogue,such as th... 

. . . but apparently not here. I guess most Americans think of Rolex first when it comes to contemporary calendar wristwatches. Art

. . . that came off as being the more compact of the two, even though the Rail is nominally smaller. Art

I own one and love it. ...

and it looks in great condition. If you love it, just enjoy it !

. . . in the near future, I'd like to add another current production watch to my collection. Perhaps a Zenith or a GS, or even this Omega. Best, Art

Seldom disappoints ;-))

We know that feeling. Not a popular choice and yet. I've been drawn to the double eagle off and on myself but not enough to seriously consider it. I can actually see you wearing it while playing pool or is it billiards

. . . and three-ball. ;-)

The one on the right is my wedding watch, and I guess it has at least 1/3 of my wristime since then. Although the dial is quite different from yours, I can comment that, at least, it wears very comfortable and keeps good time ...

And 38mm is a better size for non-tiny wrist

Always had a soft spot for Connies, both vintage and modern. The bracelet is comfortable and very good looking. It’s one of the few watches, I think, that look good in two-tone steel-gold. Sized at 39 mm, there’s nothing you can do wrong, by getting one o... 

. . . isn't financially feasible. [photo credit: ChristianCH, Watchprosite, 2017] The platinum-stitched strap alone would set you back more than a vintage Connie. The shaped-case Connie that could make it into my collection would be one of the Japan-marke...  

Being a limited edition, is a disadvantage imo. On the other hand, I have no idea if these are still available at Omega ADs/boutique. Wasn’t aware of the existence of the Japan version. Looks very good and is sending some sixties vibes. I certainly have s... 

With modern technology that will serve you well years ahead. If you can"t stop thinking about it, you must get it. Admitedly, the style is not my taste, but the beauty of different taste is what makes this hobby so much fun.

. . . definitely not this year, but there's always next ;-) . . .

with the Art Deco styling it has. I remember at one point you were looking for a Double Eagle Chronograph...

. . . titanium case, rubber bracelet with titanium clasp, carbon fiber dial. Très cool. And supremely comfortable, not only to wear but operate as well. Surprised you remember! Photo credit: Tony A, '07. ...  

I think either of those Constellations are great. Always nice to have a modern watch; no worries about having to hunt down parts and watchmakers willing to repair them.

great and comfortable watch from what I remember 👌

. . . you brought a surprise! I wonder if Ernie's still wearing his . . . ...  

Get another Connie! I have also the idea to buy me a Connie. The anual calendar.

. . . in all likelihood the only pie-pan annual in existence! ;-) ...  

I am of course in favor. I think it would be a very nice addition to your collection. But would you wear it often? I don't see the Rail Master out much?

. . . a new Connie would likely get even less wrist time than the Rail. The only way this works out is if the collection shrinks a bit first . . .
