    That’s the problem when you have a sapphire crystal and a dark dial.

    Since the start of this 2012 thread, the tachymetre bezel appears to me identical throughout. Can anyone confirm if these have remained identical?

    Sorry I wasn't very clear. I am referring to nuaunses such as changes to the font or layout of text (like the vintage bezels with DON) and any other differentiating features over the span of production.

    I took mine off the Speedy Racing bracelet recently since it didn’t wear comfortably and bought the Speedy Racing rubber strap and Omega deployant buckle. I don’t like the 19mm tapering down to 16mm look so I stuck with the Racing accessories which is 19mm tapering to 18mm. C4B42F9D-C0D3-413C-8DD3-154DA8CFEA7C.jpeg

    Joined the club today!

    Very pleased with the purchase, from the way it wears to the inky clarity of the dial, with its near pie-pan slopes and sculpted sundials.

    Also, and crucially for me -- I can wind it!

    Taking it out for a socially-distanced walk, but here's the first (somewhat groggy) pic:

    Congrats! I got mine less than 2 weeks ago (see my post "My First Omega!"). Love it so far, but I've been wondering about the power reserve is supposed to be. BTW, I came in just under yours at 139##. Cheers!
