I think I've found The One!

[TaketheCannoli]

Since I sold my Omega 2264.50 ten years ago I've been searching for 'that' diver on a bracelet. I must have gone through in excess of a hundred watches which have always had something about them that made me flip. For those who don't know me, some would say I'm a bit of a flipper.

Anyway, this arrived today and I knew as soon as I opened the box it had the potential to be The One.

I won't waffle on about the spec as we all know how to find that, I'll just leave it here with some pics.

Oh and a shout out to Serious Watches - it was delivered from Holland just 24 hours after placing the order.

It’s a very nice piece but for a serial flipper, could those be famous last words? Having said that, I’m similarly minded as the Sharkmaster 1000 I bought from this very forum has been worn every day since it arrived, six weeks ago. That is a first for a new arrival.

[TaketheCannoli]

They could....but I don't think they will be this time.

May I ask what it is that makes you think of it as highly as you do? On a side note, I love the order of the pics in a reverse reveal whereby you've seemingly put the watch back in the box and wrapped it up rather professionally.

Agh I know, I hate the way Postimage places them randomly!

The quality is simply outstanding. I love the maxi-Sub style case, ceramic insert, the faux lume dial and domed crystal that gives a lovely distortion at certain angles. The dimensions are also perfect for my particular wrist. The bracelet is really good quality with easily adjusted screwed links, a flip-locking clasp and no sharp edges whatsoever.

As a whole piece it's just stunning.

Very nice it is, too. Keep on enjoying it.

Sounds like a keeper then, lot of text on the dial for me. Anyway glad your pleased and flip free for a while....

You have certainly had a few but it is all part of the enjoyment of the hobby.

Think even as a flipper there is sometimes a different feeling that you experience with particular watches and you just know it will be with you for a longer period of time. Fingers crossed for you that it is indeed a mainstay in your collection. Looks great.

I'm looking out for the armida to appear 👍

[TaketheCannoli]

My Armida? Not happening I'm afraid. I have three watches and love them all.

Quite funny to buy it from Serious Watches and then start a thread with some Serious BS ;)

Lovely watch, can see why you like it so much.

[RAJEN]

Anyway, nice watch minus the drama.
If you manage to hold on to it, more power to you.
Ocean X do make some seriously nice homages.
I have a few I enjoy quite a bit.

[TaketheCannoli]

Cheers, I will :)

I have one of these David. I love it. Looks, build quality and timekeeping are all spot on

In my experience there’s no such thing as ‘the one’. It’s usually ‘the most recent one’ which is the main reason I moved from the ‘expensive’ tier to the ‘cheaper’ tier. Makes the flipping feel a bit less silly!
