Very nice! the blue dial looks amazing! Congratulations!
So he proposed a couple of weeks ago, and as I dislike diamonds (not the substance, but the way they are found, bought, marketed and sold) and don't get on with wearing a ring on my right hand - this came in instead :)
I didn't do the elaborate case back or the clasp, but if anyone's interested I can - it even has a wee diver's extension!

Looks much better in a smaller size! Congratulations.
It's just a matter of time...
Congratulations, both on the watch and the engagement :-)
Wow. Didn't expect this to look as good. Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congrats Sara. My other half tried on the black version recently, but the blue is a lot nicer!
Congratulations and that looks very nice indeed.
Probably the best looking ladies diver I've ever seen. Congratulations
Cool, well done - makes a change from rings! Wear it in good health.
Congrats on both accounts.
Very good choice too.
Thanks all :)
Yes I'm super pleased with it - the blue isn't in-yer-face, but shines beautifully when the light hits it.
Just the right size for a daily wearer for me - even a little bigger (like the ladies' Citizen Excalibur I bought last month) feels a bit too big for constant wear.
It seems to be running at about +4s/day.
Minor cons (though I don't care about them as of course this one isn't going anywhere):
- Lume isn't up to much.
- Bezel seems ever so slightly too anti-clockwise.
- Fiddly crown/distance between stops.

It looks really good.. congratz..
Also, it it doing the job of an engagement present well, I fiddle and look at it and am totally reminded of my man - the effect was even stronger as I went away for a really long weekend last weekend and was uncharacteristically homesick...
Those divewatches in female size look so huggable, as mentioned above, even more balanced in size sometimes.
My wife's Victorinox diver in 30mm is just about what her wrist can manage, and does look good.
Love the blue dial as well.
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Sweet. Looks much better in this size. Pleased that you found the right one.
Congrats! :) Great choice of watch.
Looks great, you could also have gotten away with the 39mm.
Congrats! Great size and colour. :-)
Congratulations both on the watch and engagement.
My wife goes even further and won't do gold, leather, silk etc as well as diamonds. Saves me a fortune but makes my purchases look extravagant and it's murder at birthdays and xmas!
Thanks :)
Well I don't have a problem with lab-grown diamonds - the substance itself is amazing, chemically/structurally beautiful plus with the special refractive index that causes its glitteriness... Just that we all know about blood diamonds, the poor conditions for the workers mining the things, and DeBeers are a rotten company who keep diamond prices artificially high... But having one grown by in a lab under intense pressure and heat? Cool! What would your wife think of that?
Very nice, Sara! I've been looking at a 39mm for my wife as well...
And congratulations on being engaged!
So I hadn't previously lent much credence to the idea of a movement 'settling in' but this watch seems to have gone from being about 4.5 secs fast per day, to barely 2! Sweet!
Wedded now :) wore my baby Omega auto to the ceremony, switched to the Longines for the party.
Trying to post a pic or two, but Tapatalk is being picky!
congrats.
thats a lovely watch. if i could find one, id love to get one for my bird.
Congratulations in deed. I'm recently engaged and my focus is on which watch!
Congratulations! Nice to see the addiction getting a look in on the special day
It's just a matter of time...
Thanks all!
Thought a couple of you might be interested in the end of the story :)
It's only been a week so haven't got the "proper" photos off my brother yet, will post any that show off the little omega (though I suspect it was hidden behind my bouquet most of the time).
