Just arrived - Q&D - seamaster family grows

Post by rockmastermike » Wed Oct 10, 2012 6:52 am

I liked the blue dial version so much I ended up with its silver dial brother to hang out with.....the crystal needs a little toothpaste and the bracelet needs a serious bath, both will be done tonight after work. anyway a few quick snaps in the office light - will get some decent shots eventually (well, decent for me)

thanks, guys - honeymoon time.
have to admit I really like the feel of the old omega bracelet, it just seems to wrap around the wrist. normally I'd throw something else on it, and I will eventually, but the bracelet will last a little longer this time.
the silver dial is the original T - Swiss Made - T and is a nice alternative to the (equally beautiful) but darker sunburst Blue.

I like the appearance of a little blue airplane on the hand.
Silver dial rocks !

The airplane hand is the minute counter and yeah, looks cool. I like the orange one the blue dial version - just enough splash to get noticed but not too much and on this one it makes for a nice homogenouos look. two good alternatives, of course I'm biased

Perfection! I like the silver dial the most. The colored chapter ring hands etc really makes it pop!
