I know very little about the Omega but, are you suggesting that the quartz is better than the auto, generally, as a watch to own? Or, is the aesthetics that appeal to you more? Just curious really as...
Do the recent solar models come with an 'auto light' function when you turn your wrist? (Apologies if its been mentioned but I can't find the details)
This 100 per cent.
I want to like it but I agree, the dial is too busy for me - I personally prefer simpler dials.
Looking at the last two CWC models that they have produced it does seem that the designs are a bit...

‘80 re-issue for me today.

I've just added a £24 strap and purchased it - it appears as the OP suggested - free and £4.99 for the postage. Lets see if it gets delivered - don't see why not!
That's impressive! How do 'wind' it to the 'up' position?
I have recently returned from a 3,000 month long trip around Morocco in a motor home and part of our journey took us to Marrakech. Being tourists we wanted to check out the medina - it's an intense...

…….. we added this to it and it went even slower![emoji44]

I owned this for 6 years. Despite the negativity of ‘they always breakdown’ we never had a breakdown. We kept on top of the servicing and I paid for the stuff that I couldn’t or didn’t want to do...
We had an en suite bathroom refit about 3 years ago. The room was slightly bigger than yours and included ripping out the old bathroom and tiles, re plastering and tiling, floor and all new...
Ah! Found them. I see what you mean the buckle does look quite chunky and may not suit my smaller watches. Thanks
Nice watch, but what is the strap please?
I picked up a bracelet on its own during one of the openings in the middle of last year. It was a quiet day and I managed to purchase one easily before the closure.
I think the success of a...
All good for me for the last couple of years.
I have long said to my family that if I can't eat or drink or drink it I don't want it. Very occasionally I get something I don't like I take it to...
Good story!
I think there was a thread a while ago how someone on the forum had a similar recollection of watches being binned in MOD stores.
I like to think that we have more of a 'repair'...
Thanks for the reply and the link to the review by Rev-O.
I'll have a look at them.
Thanks - they have also come up on my search for a strap. I do like the idea of the adjustable buckle with this and the MN style strap. Do you find the buckle on the Zulu Alpha comfortable to wear...
I think it looks good!
I have a 7" flat wrist and for the last year I have been wearing 36mm watches with a slim height and shortish lug length. I used to think that 36mm was too small for my...
Many thanks also - not unsurprisingly, the green looks like its made for the CWC as does the one with the orange strap on the Squale.
Funnily enough that Squale was on my shortlist as my next...
Yes, I might order a couple of cheapies from CNS.
It's not the Falklands connection that I like the idea of, but more the buckle system on that particular strap - I'd like something that can be...
Has anyone tried one of these straps?
I am searching for a strap for a CWC diver which I currently wear on a simple pull through from Zuludiver. This has been a good strap for my G10 as well but I...

Should be tuff enough for the washing up!
