I’m mainly looking to see if someone can tell me whether the dial on the 212.30.41.61.01.001 is glossier and/or darker than on the 2264.50.

I have lately been on a drive to replace some of my auto watches with quartz and for a diver, I recently acquired a 2264.50. However, I discovered the existence of the 212.30.41.61.01.001 on which I love the applied logo and indices as well as the fact that the waves extend all the way to the edge of the dial.

Omega SMP Black Quartz: Dial Differences Between 2264.50 vs 212.30.41.61.01.001

Anyone else had this kind of trouble with the 9900? I’m just curious if there are any known issues with this movement similar to what the Speedmaster had (bushing issue).

I wear…

Really would love to see some wrist shots. It’s such a unique piece but hard to get a feel for it with the promotional shots.

100% the best dial in the industry, 100% the worst case in the industry

Awful week.

We’ve been moving into our new office/workshop this week, so I was getting home quite tired by end-of-day. Thankfully, the flu that I’ve had over the past few weeks has finally subsided.

This was going to be a longer post but I don’t want to go into the details and I don’t want to lower the mood of this thread.
Our cat Bowie died suddenly on Wednesday evening and we’re all feeling devastated and miserable about it.

I’m always amazed and…
