Lovely Omega Neil - sandwich dial, a lot to love.

Some would see it as a tribute to the CW Dartmouth but no, I think there is a lot of originality too in the Omega :wink:

Very nice. Not one I've seen before, although I must admit I've stepped out of the loop of a lot of "new watch" release info.

Absolutely lovely. I have the 'original' re-release/copy which has got a lot of wear over the last 6 years or so.

Much prefer the Seamaster 300 script on the new versions and a lollipop second hand wouldn't go amiss either.

Thank you all. :thumbup:

This morning I asked Mrs nbg if she would like to look at it. She glanced over and said “looks the same as most of your other watches”. I offered to explain the differences and was given a rude response! :lol:

^^^ Well I do factor that in to a certain extent. However the reciprocal expenditure is usually something sensible that we both benefit from.

On this occasion she was ahead of me, as I was browbeaten into the need of new fitted wardrobes about a month ago. Dismantling the old ones was my clue! :lol:

The more usual response to a new watch is “I assume this doesn’t curtail any holidays?”

Happy wife. Happy life. :)

Very nice, glad your happy with the new purchase. In the end, that's all that really matters. I am also glad to see Omega embracing the "less is more" approach to dial text. :thumbup:
