ATG Forums

 

The idea of forums is for people to meet discuss and share ideas about watches, old new, blue, green anything! The site is largely for chronograph enthusiasts, but that does not mean that you cannot post about other types of watches just as long as they are interesting in their own way. Discuss ‘Off topic’ subjects not relating to the watch world and post your pictures too See Forum Guide for advice.

THE FORUMS ARE NOW READ ONLY; The New ATG Forums have arrived!  Please re-register on the new forum to begin posting.

I recently did a trade with Juko for an Omega Speedsonic. I've been after one of these for quite some time know and it was an opportunity I couldn't miss (aren't they all, lol!).

I know where my vote will lie but how about you guys?


Currently on an Omega mesh, my favourite combo.





Out to you guys.

Cheers,

Gary

Very cool - love the raised parallel indices, and matching hands. Would look good in black too......(though I have no idea whether they ever offered that option)

It is in great nick too. However, I notice that the crown is amost on the level of the caseback - is it comfortable to wear?

I'm a cak handed Dave, so the crown position doesn't bother me. Tbh how you righties were some of those monster crown jobbies I'll never know.

Cheers,

Gary

P.S. I'll post a few of the dial colour options when I find them, black was never on the menu as far as I know.

Whoa there.......

Don't lump me in with the evil right-handed conspiracy, when I am in fact one of the more enlightened and spacially-aware lefties of this world.

I just happen to wear my watch on the left as well. Think of it as working undercover.

Oops, sorry Dave. As promised though here's the dial varients. There were two indices and handset designs, the raised steel version like mine and lumed indices and hands. The latter are probably more legible in all honesty but I prefer the steel variant.

Here's a lumed indices/hands example:

And those dial colours:









The last one went with a gold case, very cool!

And the lobster version had a mirror finish dial option:

Definitely a Humdinger for me. Especially on that mesh bracelet.

Sucker for blue, and an Omega fan to boot, what can I say.  Humming away!
