    It's too dark to get any nice natural light shots and I'm no photographer, but here are some quick pics of my new (and first purchase) Omega. It's more of a dress watch than my X-33 which is what I was looking for. Also, what do you guys like to use to clean off your watches that doesn't scratch them?

    Is that a cobalt dial? It's beautiful



    I use dish machine detergent and automotive paint polish / wax on all my wrist watches. This stuff works like a dream:

    It is. It changes colors depending on how the light hits it. I'll upload some pictures in the brighter natural light tomorrow after I bring it into the Omega boutique for a check up. Ive never had a non quartz watch and the date is acting a little weird and i hear a rattling noise when i shake it, I'm not sure if its normal.

    Here's some better pictures in the sun. The camera can't capture the beauty of the blue dial.

    I knew that Hodinkee's weekly round-up was going to get me eventually. Today was that day. This is incoming...will report back on Tuesday. Can't wait to check out the micro-rotor up close.

    Will be a while before I have this one in hand, as it will get a service before heading my way.

    Anyone care to venture a guess based on the detail shown below? ::confused2::

    Not even warm. :D

    Probably should have started a "20 questions" thread, but easy for someone with an interest in these.
