Omega

I saw a week ago the pictured watch available. It was NOS and unused, complete, still partly stickers and the price was right. Today at 14:30 the FedEx man was behind the door and I opened the packet, removed the stickers and placed the watch to my wrist....  

This Omega is a true object of desire!!! A friend owns one and I had the opportunity to take some pictures. Massive but classy: Have a good Brazilian coffee on me: The rattrapante complication puts the cherry on top of the cake. Congratulations, Nilo ...  

Best, Kari ...  

I especially like it because it doesn't look like your typical Omega (not that a typical Omega is a bad thing :)) Aloha, Bob

Congrats! De Ville have a lot of nice versions! A colleague of mine have this one: Enjoy your new baby! Best Blomman ...  

Mine looks a bit evil but it feels good. Best, Kari

. . . of famous last words! "I just couldn't resist." :-) Here's an image from my files, ca '09, of a dark dial variant. Notice the differences in dial layout and especially the matte finish of the case and bracelet. If I had actual need of a split, this ...  

Nobody needs a split second chronograph. But it's bloody difficult to be without when having an opportunity acquiring one. I do not need chronographs and in reality I nearly never wear a chronograph. Okay, sometimes I check the boiling time of eggs... Any... 

I think one of the most unappreciated and under the radar of the Deville line. For those in the know! Especially the rattrapante. Enjoy

Another great watch added to your very nice collection ! This baby looks great on your wrist! Nice wristshots my friend Very happy for you. Enjoy in the best of health! Cheers Robin

Dr. kol, What a great watch. I never saw it before. Thanks for showing it. Wover

FedEx parcel. A split second chronograph, NOS with about 50% below the last list price. Frederic Piguet's movement. It was impossible to resist. Best, Kari

Dr. Kol, Well, recently I acquired a DeVille Ratrapante myself (Happy!) and I started looking for the post that put me on this split second miracle in the first place. It was your post! What strikes me now in your post is your mention of a wooden box. You... 

but I went to check the box. Yes, it is nice dark lacquered wood. One of these days I need to try the watch for some time I like the design and the complication a lot but the wrist experience is still missing. Have you paid any attention to the wonderful ... 

Dr. kol, The lugs are things of beauty. I tend to give them a gentle caress before I enjoy the smooth action of the pushers and watch the red pointed hand stop, start, catch up or fly back. You don't know what you're missing. Start wearing it already! Wov...  

I have so many watches that I simply can't wear them all. I have tried hard to reduce but... without remarkable success. Best, Kari
