That's the exact reason I haven’t bought the Zulu Time!

It was between the Spirit and the Ranger and the Zulu Time and the BB Pro for me a while back, I decided to go with the Spirit and the BB Pro - I like a date on my daily and the Spirit and the Spirit Zulu Time arel a bit too similar, so the Pro it is - and that was literally the process, I couldn't differentiate them with my heart, so the head it was.

I haven't picked up the Pro yet - was waiting for the 2024 releases just in case and am gonna wait a little longer now - that new GMT movement will be in it soon! … and I may or may not've got waylaid by the Ultra Chron - which I actually like better than any of the Tudor Black Bays.

There's my 2023 / 2024 in a few short paragraphs!

Cheers Pete.

Congrats - that bracelet looks pretty schmick ... and that buckle tang is way cool. Small design flairs like that can really elevate a watch imo.

Enjoy it.

I don't usually do green, can't see myself buying a green dialled watch for instance - but this variant of the Zulu Time and the Harrods BB are my respective favourites by a mile.

Cool watch.

If there's a multiple choice question and one of the options is a re-issued Certina diver, that's the correct answer.

😁

There's a seller on eBay that sells riveted Oyster-style bracelets with various end-link options - including 36mm. I'm not saying it's the same bracelet (I don't recognise the 'O' logo on the clasp) but it's the same style and has folded end-links which can be pretty forgiving - so if it doesn't fit the lug profile exactly you (or your watchmaker) may be able to bend them to fit better.

See here:

Also, Google 'Tiger Concept' - they do inexpensive watches that copy vintage Rolex and Omega's (same guys that did that did the famous Alpha Paul Newman Daytona). They also sell a very similar riveted Oyster-style bracelet with folded links in various sizes.

Hope this helps.

And what did you wanna buy? What watch was on your mind as you left the store?

BTW - Isn't the case shape über comfortable on the wrist - Omega certainly achieved their goal with the design. I haven't worn the Revelation for ages … you've inspired me to rectify that tomorrow.

Enjoy the new watch.
