I have this watch 212.30.41.20.01.003, (sorry, can't seem to resize the photos in the web browser) and I know it's a ceramic bezel...but I just watched a YouTube video showing the manufacturing process of their ceramic bezel with liquid metal numbers. So when I hear reference to liquid metal and ceramic bezels, are they one and the same? Or is there a ceramic version that is not metal filled? I really wish Omega would give more detailed specs and information both on their own website and in the materials given during purchase.

 

It's probably a proprietary formula / procedure so they won't give out that info. Somebody here might be able to answer though.

 

I'm not looking for the formula...I was speaking in broader terms...I shouldn't need to go and google to find out how wide my watch is...or what the hands are made of...or what size strap it takes or what the bezel is made from. You buy what is advertised as a precision instrument and they give you 3 lines that say Crystal - Saphire, Case - Stainless Steel, movement 2500. Show me that precision. give me some cool drawings with measurements on it...tell me about my watch...tell me why it's special. I got more info from my Citizen Eco-drive and it's solar face technology than I get from the documentation with my Seamaster. Don't get me wrong..I love my watch...but I think they've dropped the ball with their technical writing. I got all excited when I saw the size of that red owner's manual only to find all it does is teach me how to set the time in a dozen different languages.

 

That's the Swiss for you.

 

Ceramic and Liquid Metal are not the same thing. All Liquid Metal bezels are ceramic, but not all ceramic bezels are Liquid Metal. Your is not Liquid Metal from what I can see. Cheers, Al

 

Awesome..thanks for the info all..

I say what I mean an mean what I say

Yeah, that's pretty much me too.

 

It is an obscure Alice in Wonderland reference. Am re-reading it at the moment. See http://omegaforums.net/index.php?th...cket-Watches-With---Alice-In-Wonderland.5704/

 

And here I thought it was a Popeye quote.

 

From the mad hatter's tea party....
`Come, we shall have some fun now!' thought Alice. `I'm glad they've begun asking riddles.--I believe I can guess that,' she added aloud.

`Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?' said the March Hare.

`Exactly so,' said Alice.

`Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on.

`I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know.'

`Not the same thing a bit!' said the Hatter. `You might just as well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see"!'

`You might just as well say,' added the March Hare, `that "I like what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like"!'

`You might just as well say,' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, `that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"!'

`It IS the same thing with you,' said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped, and the party sat silent for a minute, while Alice thought over all she could remember about ravens and writing-desks, which wasn't much.



Bonus points if you know why hatters were mad....

 

Can't tell you why in the story, but hat makers got mercury poisoning.

 

Bingo. One of the symptoms of mercury poisoning is to act crazy.

 

LOL...... I really enjoy it when a thread get distracted like this.........

 

Your paragraph on this topic is concise and spot-on, and I'd highly encourage you to send it to Omega. Perhaps this would inspire a change.
