When searching for watches e.g. on Chrono24 or the like, there is the option to filter by gender, which for men generally means choosing the "Men's Watch/Unisex" option and for ladies is generally irrelevant, unless you are looking for something very feminine in which case the "Ladies Watch" option is more likely to be useful.

However, based on the G-Shock images and other larger Omega POs adorning some ladies wrists here I wondered if there is a real Unisex watch, the gender equivalent of the equal opportunity employer. Well here it is folks. While trying a new dark brown strap on my Globemaster Blue Dial I got the sales assistant to offer up some other colours to see what it would look like and with one particular combination thought immediately of @meganfox17 thread here.

So, here is an elegant Man's watch on the original dark blue croc strap:-


and here it is again (one month later) with "new shoes"


but it can look a whole lot different:-


et voilà: Gender equality care of Omega. (and no that is not my hand with the red nail varnish).

Ain't it nice to think of us ladies while looking at watches? So lovely...

Hi @Syrte
[emoji38] When i saw the white leather strap Blue GM ....Yes the Connie is now oozing with ferminity , i'm amazed at its versatility . You were the 1st person i thought of actually.....

Now the Big Boys are still recovering from their initial " shock & awe "after reading Longbow's latest post . Let us see what they have to say....[emoji13] [emoji38] [emoji12]

I think it looks great! Mrs Fling wouldn't care for it nor pull it off so I definitely won't have to worry about buying that combination but I think it's a great look for a lady! 👍

My wife doesn't wear jewellery apart from the tiffany necklace I bought for our wedding day, but she is the best wife I could ever wish for. She doesn't like shopping, she doesn't like talking much, she does like football and drinking beer. .wahoo I love her very much😀
Sounds like my wife. Trade the Tiffany necklace for a Tiffany bracelet and we could be married to the same woman.

From now on, the ordinary wrist shot will be unbearably....ordinary.

Top marks Ms. Fox for creativity, and again thank you for brightening this little corner of Cyberspace 😀

Dengan itu pasti kita musketeers wanita dalam forum.

I'm discovering now that this [vintage] watch thing is quite addictive...!

Hi Ms.@vintagelady, nice to see another lady here -- but beware, yes, watches can be quite captivating !

Adding a couple more pictures to update the thread.... starting with grand father's Omega:

Nice caR 👍

And I see you left the driver's door open, so I know what colour it is. Good choice, but not as nice as Lapis Blue 😁.

That's just teasing!

You know we don't get folding mirrors in the AU market models! 🙁

But we do get the Globemaster, pity I won't get that either.

I think @meganfox17 likes to tease you Jim, seems you gotta get used to it 😀

(I suppose with all of the space you have in Australia somebody figured you don't need folding mirrors right?).

That's exactly what I thought.

When I was on assignment in Jakarta, Indonesia, my company bought a brand new Toyota van. We had to take it from the dealership to a special shop that would replace the normal mirrors with fender-mounted mirrors. By the time we got to the special shop, both of the normal mirrors had been sheared off in traffic.

Hi @Syrte
Hi Mr @Jones in LA

Jim was an ex RAAF Warrant Officer in my hometown, Syrte . Funny now both of us drive the same MK VII Golf R. Jim actually showed me a picture of himself. Here i'l show you how he looks like now df81571b29edbf8831b86221402c1802.jpg i told Jim to watch out for those fixed side mirrors ![emoji14]

Yes Mr Jones. Jakarta's traffic is legendary ! Mr Jones. Can you remember the Indonesian word for traffic ? The word is "Macet " right ? I've was in a taxi cab in New Delhi when i witnessed in horror the driver's side mirrors being ripped apart by a lorry who overtook the taxi.Freakin' Scarry !!

Mr @Jones in LA . The Indonesian word for traffic jam is macet ( Ma-chet ) not machette ! [emoji14]

I just called it freakin' SCARY !

After my first-time arrival at the airport in Jakarta, I traveled by taxi to my hotel in the city centre. The roadway for first 10km from the airport was a beautiful, 8-lane freeway -- just like I was accustomed to at home. I'd heard stories about the horrible traffic in Jakarta, so I thought they must be exaggerating -- I was moving quickly, and the experience was really quite pleasant. Then, the taxi abruptly drove off a 15cm concrete slab (the literal END of the freeway) onto a narrow 2-lane road, with 20km yet to go to my hotel. It wasn't traffic anymore. It was total vehicular chaos. For the next two hours I really, truly thought I was going to die. I remember thinking 'why would my employer send me all this way, just to die before I even got to my job?'. It took me a few weeks to learn that the chaos was survivable. I coped by studiously reading the newspaper whenever traveling as a passenger by car, and NEVER, EVER looking forward through the windscreen.

Not just India and Indonesia that have terrifying traffic. There is another scary place 😉

Can you imagine my face as I was riding along the narrow two lane road to Butterworth on my Honda 90, only to see the Alor Star bus coming toward me as it attempted to overtake a huge overloaded truck! 😲😲😲😲😲

Lucky I was wearing my brown corduroys! 😗

I survived accident free riding motor bikes in Malaysia for three years so I figured that I'm almost immortal. 😁
