One I didn't notice anyone mentioning in the thread: Speedmaster Mark 4.5 with bluesoleil dial. For details:
https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-first-vintage-mark-4-5-blue-dial-ref-176-0016.86283/

This one is a bit beaten up, but I love the dial. It was my first vintage Omega and the one that started the compulsion.

Here's a wrist shot of my Panasonic "Big Yellow" from the 70s. The iphone does exaggerate the size a little.

Why would you want to wear a watch when you could wear a 14 ounce AM radio on your wrist?!

Going to the washroom would be a tad awkward
