First time seeing one in “the green”

I was pleasantly surprised. A nice TI case and beautiful green dial. The bracelet was comfortable. Just an all around nice fun watch.

But better in every way. 😂

I genuinely like this watch.

commented on First Omega! Which to Pick? ·

I like the concept of the railmaster but the dial leaves me wanting. I own a 300m and the sword hands can be hard to read in some lights. Personally, I would look at an Aqua Terra or 300 Heritage. My 300H could have been a “one and done” if I didn’t have this sickness. They also are less well known and can be had with a STEEP discount. I bought mine 1 month old with factory warranty for 4k usd out the door. Also, they have an EPIC movement. Mine keeps within 30 seconds every 6 months (i reset when the clocks change) and it has a jump hour hand which is great for traveling.

Was it the everose gold chocolate dial 40mm? That thing is 😍. I’d love to get my hands on one. Had a chance to try one on last week.

It’s for sale….

commented on Have you ever traded for a watch? ·

I actually much prefer trade to sale. It gets me looking at things I might not normally consider.

In my experience trades do often involve a bit of cash to even up the values but the majority of the exchange is barter.

commented on Slawn for Rolex: A limited edition for collectors and fans ·

Oh that’s fun. I like it. Out of my price range and not my style but I fully support its right to exist.
