It has been so long since I have worn an non-shiznit nato. This sucks, but wanted some green today

Thanks. Same here. First thing I thought when I saw the press pics was "I'll never buy one of those". Different beast in person.

Still miss that one, but glad you are enjoying it. As you said, Omegas are generally pretty accurate - that one too - was always very accurate for me.

― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

How is Omega's case and bracelet finishing these days? This looks a lot nicer than they used to be.

I had some issues with the watch; not in love with the end-links, minute hand falls short of markers and new link design.

I found the PO worked better as a replacement for the SMP-C.

However, I was still drawn to the blue version and spent about a month deciding to buy or not.

No regrets with the decision; would still prefer a different end link and a slightly longer minute hand.

The watch wears great and I am now on board with the newly designed links.
