Perpetual calendar popularity and some digressions
While out this weekend, I tried on the 26574ST. It is a lovely watch with a readable and interesting complication and the steel version is, by some standard at least, not unreasonably priced.That being the case, I'm surprised that there isn't a bit more hype around them or a more regular flow of incoming posts. The white was very nice and I would be very keen to see the blue face versionNow for digression #1:While at the AP boutique a fellow came in with what looked to be a 44mm Diver on a steel strap with a white face and no chrono. I hadn't seen one before and would be interested in any thoughts on what reference this might beDigression #2:Completely unrelated to watches, but kind of fun - on the way home our ferry was dodging some of the several hundred boats participating in the annual Around the Island yacht race. My regrets at missing out on sailing in it this year were soothed by the pouring rain that had appeared throughout the day.

First Omega and New member!
Hey everyone! So this is basically my first real post on here. I just joined up on the forum yesterday. I have always been a huge watch fan my entire life and I finally bought my first legit watch. I wanted something classy and dressier so I went with a vintage Omega Seamaster. I was doing a lot of research on vintage Omegas before I found one and purchased. The 565 movement is suppose to be one of the more reliable ones Omega made so I jumped at the chance to buy this one. I'm pretty excited with it.
