I’m going to do the sticker removal tonight.
Video it in best Utoob/vlogger/influencer stylee. Extra points for plastic finger nails and an orange face (you not the watch) 😊

If any of you are interested in a bit of Stowa action they're running their Christmas calendar event at the moment - https://www.stowa.de/en/Adventskalender/. Hours are a bit antisocial! I want me a nice crunchy 6498 to fiddle with at the weekends...
Here you go, old and new Seamasters:
Quite like the white face 👍
That's lovely. I'd keep them both!

I think that might just have happened...🙄 Just in the interests of good investments obv... 🙃

I was going to comment that there was a lovely Hamilton field watch like that back on page 1 Merak, but I see it's the same one! 😁
Would love it if Omega tapered the Seamaster bracelet
I agree! That photo shows how the older bracelet was much more rounded. The new one looks a bit weird bring flat and untapered. It's a quality bracelet and the micro adjustable clasp is fabulous bit it's oddly styled. I've ordered it on the bracelet as it's stupid not to, but it'll come straight off. I actually think it looks incredible on the black rubber, only rubber straps feel sweaty to me so I've got a black cordura sail cloth with white stitching and a formex deployant with micro adjustment.
Where did you get the Formex deployant from?
I got two brand new ones from a guy on tz-uk. The essence butterfly, this one https://formexwatch.com/accessories/essence-clasp-with-fine-adjustment/
Want one? I do have 2 watches I want to fit them to but until I try them I can't be sure I'll fall in love, so I may have one, or both, to sell on in a month or so.

The Seamaster Planet Ocean tapers 21mm to 18mm, as does the Seamaster Aqua Terra. Both very comfortable IMHO. I love the simplicity of the Planet Ocean three link design, and the micro-adjust clasp is a joy.
I agree, despite my po being a great big heavy 'lump' it's comfortable, probably my must comfortable, watch to wear and that's largely because it's bracelet is great. I don't even have the micro adjustable clasp, just sized by a half link. (I do fancy upgrading the clasp at some point though). The simple brushed 'Oyster' styling it great.
If I want to wear the seamaster on a bracelet, an 'authentic' omega style, then this is easy....

If you look up the 1450 speedy bracelet on uncleseiko.co.uk you'll see it doesn't mention fitting the seamaster... You may think 'are the end links the same?'.... No they aren't, but .UK is getting the seamaster ELs in a few months.... I've already asked and got that from uncle in UK himself. I reckon I'll get one.
Yeah let me know if you decide to move one on. More out of curiosity!
Bracelet adjusted and in situ. The little screws are a special flavour of Swiss cheddar plus threadlock... A little bit of heatgun soon had them out 👍

That white dial is very pretty.

HELLO - Just arrived from the USA. Bought on the strength of Jodie's SWC Bunker review and I wanted a smaller watch with the same lume and anti-reflective qualities.
Yay! My white seamaster arrived today. Theoretically I have to put it away for 18 months until my 50th. Hard.

Bolleaux! Get it worn. You'll be able to buy something else for your 50th as well as it'll be 'old' by then 😝
Also arrived for me was the blue sail cloth with white Stitching ordered from Etsy. Formex deployant fitted (although it came with a gorgeous big Pam style buckle). It looks fabulous on my pelagos and hopefully the deployant will stop the fraying tthew spike of as I can imagine it happening now I have it in my hand.
One immediately noticeable potential downside is the strap plus deployant is a fair thickness under my wrist. It's light though. I'll get some pictures in daylight tomorrow

That's a euphemism if ever I heard one. We don't want pics of that thankyouverymuch...🙃
Lol!
This is cool, Brooke Shields is cool. She's got two amazing Rolex the Air King and the Batman GMT. Some interesting stories hlbehind the watches too. She's a watch nerd too. Amazing.
Agreed, that was a great interview. 80s gal and proud!
They were well worn and a bit scruffy. Good to see 😉
Agree, can't stand safe Queen watches
New arrival -
And when you press the crown it does this -
S'alright for £70.
Oh... 😲
Nice, That's using an expedition case.
Timex do lots of themed watches (including other Snoopy ones) but they mostly use the Weekender case it seems.
Just watched 14 Peaks on Netflix. What an incredible feat. Noticed that Bremont was one of the main sponsors so putting this up to celebrate.
It's a good watch, impressive, the Netflix docu I mean. I'm not sure about bremont, I've not seen them up close
My local watch shop has them. I don't know much about the movements etc. but they certainly look tidy.
Blimey a rarity a non special edition Bremont
I have that exact same Bulova watch, it's a great dress watch.
I bought it on the back of this review, although I'm not sure I paid that much for it..:
A Blog to Watch
Good luck, I hope you find one!
That Snoopy watch is da bomb!
Love the Snoopy watch, right on so many levels.
Looks like I got the omega just in time, the price went up almost 5% last week

Buy some more, they're a good investment? That's how I'll rationalise/justify mine when it's time for the big reveal... 😲 Its stablemates have all done well to extremely well.
Rolys look to have been a really good place to stick some spare wonga. I had a chum who had 'a few' unworn in a safe... He'll be happy as a porcine in the excrement now... 🤪
As a normal person I can't get a Rolex. I'd a could, then everyone could, and they wouldn't be an investment.
Aye it's crazy isn't it? I remember when all you needed was the substantial wedge and you could walk into a jewellers and they'd fawn all over you as you made your choice...
How times have changed.
You used to get s discount off rrp
i have a collection but last night was considering adding to it...
everyday watch is a G-Shock GA400. i've got another G=Shock and a Casio Solar Tough knocking about too. recently restored an Oakley D2 watch after finally managing to source a replacement strap all the way from Oz.
my dress watches include a Raymond Weil, an Emporio Armani, and a Panerai Ferrari edition. i did have a Rado but i sold it a while back.
thinking i might invest in another G-Shock (i fancy a metal one) or a Tag Heur...wife might kill me over the second one though!
Got one of these coming

Couldn’t justify spending on a Speedy at the moment but picked up a Lunar Pilot with the old style logo for a decent price. I know it’s a big one but it if it proves too big I’ll be able to flip it for more than I paid so no great loss
52mm lug to lug……
