Tried on a couple of the new Seamsters at the brand new Omega Boutique in Boston

Went to Boston today for my wife’s birthday. I was allowed to stop into one store for myself lol. I really wanted to try on a couple of the new Seamasters on the Milanese bracelet. The first one was the one that held the most interest for me. The grey dial with the titanium bezel. I loved this watch, and also the bracelet. However, I find the lighting in most and watch and jewelry stores does not lend itself well to photography. And because of the face and bezel on this watch, I believe…

Planet Ocean 2500 Appreciation Thread

Whilst on vacation in Cancun I thought it would be fun to spin up a thread for the 2500.

We all (at least mostly I think) love the Planet Ocean. And while 2500 v 8500 is sometimes debated and there’s all sorts of speculation around what’s next for the PO line at Basel 2016, I’m finding newfound appreciation for the original 2500.

So, share a story. Ask a question. And by all means post pics! :)

Here’s a photo to start. More to follow…

***Friday February 7th, 2025 – WRUW? | The Weekend Edition***

First Friday of the month means this thread can go all weekend, for those of you so inclined. Post today, tomorrow, Sunday.

Not a huge range of watches for me this week. I wore the Explorer last weekend;

The drink is just a Sanbitter, an Italian soft drink/soda/aperitif made by San Pellegrino. It was a stinking hot 36 degrees (Celsius) last Saturday and I must’ve had about five or six of these in an attempt to stave off the heat.
Next day…

~Official MoonSwatch Photo Thread~

Will I get flamed? Maybe. Does Swatch own Omega? Yes. Is there a dedicated Swatch forum? No. Do we want to keep members from posting their MoonSwatches in the Official Speedmaster Club thread and claiming it does say “Omega” and “Speedmaster” on the face and justifying that they also own “real” Speemaster(s)? Probably (and I am guilty of this too).

Let’s see how this goes… I’ll start. Finally got my Neptune, so here is my collection to-date (also in this particular box is my…

*Official Seamaster Club Thread*

Thanks to you all for your input on this little card we’re about to give out…

Post here if you own a Seamaster – of any kind and any date of production. No exclusions. I know there was a lot of interest in a “Seamaster Professional” club…so I guess we’ll have to have one too! Why not?

Just post a pic of your Seamaster here and we’ll give you a card – and you can do what you like with it. I’ve seen a couple people use it in their signatures and I think it looks really good. If you need…

Omega Limited Editions – Post your photos

I know Omega have ceased the production of limited editions for a couple of years.
The only LE watch I ever really coveted was the beautiful POLMLE. Apart from this, I never used to be that bothered with the LE releases.

Oddly, since Omega are no long…

The Aqua Terra and Railmaster Photo Thread

:-! I was doing a search for photos, and it struck me as funny that we don’t actually have a thread dedicated to Aqua Terras and Railmasters only. I was hoping this thread could include photos of all ATs, from both generations, Co-Axial or quartz, and also all modern Co-Axial Railmasters.

So, if you’re down for a little fun, please post up photos of all your ATs and RMs! (Please include the model number if you know it.) With all the great photographers that we have…

All things Planet Ocean 39.5mm

Hi Guys
I am a big Omega fan and used to wearing big Omegas – Ploprof, PO chrono, Seamaster 300diver. However I am rather taken by the 39.5mm PO – I have big wrists but is didn’t seem too small when I tried it and I liked it: compact, stubby, but cool.

I read that it is actually a 40.5mm case and 38mm bezel and Omega decided on speccing it as somewhere in between those two: 39.5

would value your thoughts and any photos and comparisons with others of similar size like Sub etc[ATTACH…

SMP non-ac (2230.50): Post Your Mods

This watch has been on my radar for a very long time and will be holding it soon. Like many before me, I am interested in the possible mods to individualize it.

It’s coming with a PO 42mm crystal installed. Otherwise, it’s in stock configuration.

I would be interested in installing a PO seconds hand with the tip painted red, a black ceramic bezel and an adjustable clasp. Other than the clasp, I will enjoy it in its near-stock condition while I settle on the mods I commit to implementing…
