Yes, the background goes with the color of the luminescent material: a bit dark and reddish.
Today I went to an Omega boutique with money in my pocket to buy a watch.
The only one that caught my attention was the Speedmaster FOIS. However, the same movement as the hesalite Speedy, the thickness of the case and crystal, and the color of the luminous material turned me off. So I left empty handed. ...
You make the right point here: You must like the watch when you try it on your wrist. You surely must love it to spend a good and well earned money on it. I own this version and I like it very much but...
... the most important thing is what you feel about it. Fortunately Omega has several other Speedmaster variants (and other models of course) if you wish to add another Omega to your collection. Best cordial regards, Abel
Well, in my opinion a lost chance! 😜 The FOIS above is one of the nicest iterations so far! (My opinion)
Personally I have already 3 Speedmasters and still, this one is not off the list! 😍
100% agree Markus. I was very tempted to get this one. But I am a "vintage guy". So, I managed...
.... to convince - let's say - a family member to get one. I think "job well done" by Omega on this one. Cheers, HSTE
Sorry it didn’t live up to expectations, but I’m glad you realized it immediately.
It is one whose features speak to me (compared to other Speedmasters). But I know there are others who didn’t like it in person. ...
Change of topic. That is an awesome strap!
Can I ask where you got the bund? I’ve been thinking of adding one.
I personally like this one but…
their are so many options. I own GSOTM and DSOTM BB but i prefer automatics. I love the white version…also… ...
That is unfortunate 🤷🏻♂️
Did you check some of the under the radar Seamasters? They often have them hidden away but at least to my eyes they tend to be the more interesting these days 😊
Waited fifteen months for mine . . .
. . . that I paid full pop for up front. Whatever opportunity was lost by waiting over a year is long forgotten . . . the pleasure of wearing it is a lifetime of quarterly dividends. Art ...
I had to wait a long l time as well
and then I was offered a second one from a different AD right after this purchase. A friend of mine took the second one. ...
