Grail Acquired!
26326STJust thought I'd share my recent catch, the Royal Oak Chronograph Tribute to Italy. Although I liked it on the rubber strap, my plan all along was to buy a bracelet for it, because, well, Royal Oak!That Panda goodnessSomehow I didn't take a distance shot with the rubber, but here is a closeup. To me this dial is a little like the Paul Newman of ROCs.

Wrong date wheel... !
As some of you may have read on one of my previous posts, I recently acquired a Speedmaster Solar Impulse (HB-SIA). A beautiful and highly functional watch.But to my surprise, I noticed that the font on the date wheel, did not look anything like the pictures I had seen online. Not only that, I had read a comment in a popular watch blog about how nice it was that Omega had decided to use the same font on the date wheel as used everywhere else on the watch. Bam! That made me think that I might had a dud.(See first pic below, the 8 on the date is completely round, as opposed to the very angular numbers elsewhere on the watch.)I called Omega Customer Service to explain the situation, and at first, they basically thought I was nuts. HOW would Omega install the WRONG date wheel???? Impossible!!! After a heated conversation, and sending pictures of my watch vs the images on the Omega website, the service rep finally agreed to contact Bienne for their feedback.As I had hoped,

speedy afternoon

Just want to say 'Hi'
Hi everyone I have just joined up the forum recently and posted a few times, but I thought I'd like to say hello to everyone properly.I originally seeked out TRF as I was looking into possibly getting a Rolex in the future, but since I have got my NOS Omega Dynamic something happened.......it's almost like a relationship lol. There is something intriguing and understating about Omega, the design, the history, I don't really know what it is exactly but there you are.So I ended up visiting mostly here at the Omega section of the TRF and I just ant to thank everyone for your helpfulness and friendliness, esp. Rommel (aka RW16610) who has been my Omega mentor Hope to learn more from everyone!
