Love this ad for Polaris titanium from early 80s
Didn’t realize Omega had Pro Pickle Ballers reps, JM. Also didn’t realize O had whole line of these, Ladies, Quartz, Automatic two tone with matching band and not, like in this ad, full Gold, White dialed… more mass produced than realized… considering, not many are out there. Wonder which were the top selling variants…. Thanks for sharing the interesting ad!

I think it’s time for mandatory breath tests before posting. We have the technology.

Pretty sure you’d be the first to get the PUI citation

I've seen a couple of these and was intrigued

I'm always immediately put off of older watches that have this type of watch-specific bracelet.
It's not the lack of options. It just looks like there would be too much stress on those endlinks. Probably completely unfounded.
I’m oddly drawn to these type, ‘integrated bands’ well sorta. O course most of my watches are more in line w/ popular side, but it is so unique and quirky…. I Love it!

I'm reasonable quirky but that one's always been a little too far out for me.
Looks cool though!

Glad too see you say "integrated... sorta" as that's what I was thinking too.

I do have a love of the black/green orange-minute-hand Zilla and that's got a unique rubber strap mounting system that also "worries" me. 🤔
Aftermarket "inserts" are available that convert to normal lugs but I've not seen them for the black case.
Trying to resist sale prices on the couple of current versions and the Godzillas as I really do prefer this one:


The other stumbling block, is that I don't have the arms to make it look like that. 🤣💪

Oo! That is nice, it is definitely congruent to same dna, you got me in a rabbithole, it’s on my list now (to gets), not instead of the polaris, perhaps that in 2tone and this in its form as introduced to me. Somehow, for me, this one doesn’t work as 2tone as much as Polaris does. Thanks.

Agreed agreed, Sortagrated Bands?

Gzillas are very cool, but I chose this and Skyhwk Tnium prev version, for me, I don’t like the newer v. And I have another mundane but aroundntge house diver, so I have this thing, don’t want to go beyond 3 or 4 o the same brand, weird, procurement philosophy, otherwise I can’t manage my deaires…

WDYmean? Tats take away from the core, you can do it! U wear that and like that, that’s already cool enough!

I may be wrong but that suggests to me you expected some kick back on your acronyms and were ready and waiting with your defensive responses. Otherwise why not just clarify what they mean, regardless as to whether others agree?
You are wrong about this, there’s no strategy here, corrected.

All! Maybe if we were to ignore this thread, it would fizzle and die! To stop feeding an ego usually works!

As long as it’s not about politics, it’s ok. That was the big rule here.

I am glad this thread didn’t fizzle and die even though I don’t like the watch described and had difficulty figuring out some posts. The fact that it went to 4 pages without explicits and name calling shows the inclusiveness of the forum. Much appreciate the restraint shown by all parties while putting forward their views.
Ps I might take the down, side triangle thing and run. Much better that typing numbers(worse if using punctuations) while describing dial positions especially from a mobile.
Cheers.
Ps mods plz don’t bring the breath analyser feature especially on holidays.

I don't agree with @ShoopaChrono responses to what I see as constructive feedback.
I've chosen to ignore those posts.
I think I've refained from giving approving responses to many others comments, despite agreeing with them, so as not to inflame the situation.
I still don't understand a lot of what @ShoopaChrono is trying to say and I find it very hard to believe that he communicates effectively with any group of friends in this manner.
For some reason I'm still trying. I enjoy his watch enthusiasm, though I get that from everyone here. I don't like the victim card being played.
I'll try and stay out for a while.

I guess we should just try to get used to it. We are going to see Gen-Zers here eventually.

It’s about watches, I agree, some folk here are easily bothered and that amuses me. But I say can we all just Watchalong?

If they bring in the cash....

I'll just turn my hearing aid down and keep my spectacles on the top of my head.
