Omega seamaster Bond 2541.80 tritium-luminova dial diferences
Hello!A new watch entered in my collection and it is an identical model than my father-in-law one: An Omega Seamaster 300 quartz, the watch that James Bond worn in Goldeneye in 1995.Its serial number start in 55.xxx.xxx, so, if I check on the Omega serial production tablets, it mean that both watches were producted in the same year (1995). But they are not identical because mine has tritium dial and the other luminova. I don't know if its original dial was change in a service work. It's difficult to see but there are a little differences between both watches.The luminova dial has a symmetrical 3 and a long F whereas the tritium dial has an asymmetrical 3 and a short F. In addition, the words on the luminova are thicker.A few pics. Sorry for the quality and for my poor english.Best regards.My watch with a nice patina The two watches. On your left, tritium. Right, luminova.After sun expositionTritium dialLuminova dialDiferences

Afraid the Aquanaut is a little too big on me - Opinions? (PICS)
I finally got to try her in the flesh.A beautiful piece but I can't help but feel that the Aquanaut is on the large side for my 6 wrists.The 5167 is the one I actually am looking for. Stainless steel with the rubber strap, however these were the only ones available at my local AD, and I got an idea on how it will wear.I love it but can't help but feel it wears large on my wrists.What do you think?
