Thanks!
Sorry for posting another picture, but I'm wearing it on a black strap today and I think it works wells even though I'm not a huge fan of black straps.
Incredibly versatile. Works with the bracelet and pretty much any color strap.
Now back to the topic at hand. Between rolex and Omega, the updated Explorer is the only one that I might buy. I really like the updated Daytona, but it seems like it will wear the same. A bit too small for my liking.
The air king dial is horrendous and they ruined the otherwise very nice DJ1 with that terrible clasp on a jubilee.
Why is an Omega fan like me seem more interested in what Rolex is offering at Baselworld 2016?
i'm super impressed with new Rolex Explorer 214270. Really love the detailing & that old school sports vibe.... Shame on Me [emoji17]
That's not just a swing and a miss, that's nasty slider that the hitter decides to swing at too late and nearly falls over in total embarrassment.
This watch isn't even the over the top "Leopard" Daytona bad, it just looks incredibly cheap. When I first saw this photo the first thing that crossed my mind was "very bad knock off watch" but unfortunately it's real I guess.
It's very simple, and that's commendable for sure. But it's still so shiny - it'd be much much better without any shiny bits on the dial at all.
To me the metal numerals kind of make the watch. It's the main design identifier of the model. That what would make me hesitate on getting a new one.
Nothing from Omega that to me looks like future classics.
Thanks!

Hi @wx_073
[emoji1] [emoji14] You're gonna get an Amazing Avalanche of answers to your question soon enough.....
My knowledge is rather limited . All i know is there are lots more Non Magnetic alloy parts inside METAS cert calibre 8900 like the lever , escape wheel , balance & balance screws including the Silicon balance spring making the whole watch able to resist Magnetic Fields of at least 1.5 Tesla. MRI scanners have Magnetic fields ranging from 0.5 -7.0 Teslas ...& Yeah..For Gods Sakes DO NOT attempt a Stupid Stunt of placing a calibre 8900 inside the MRI. Your baby will survive no doubt...but Somebody's gonna pull out 3 Million U.S Dollars out of your A$$ to replace the damage MRI scanners...
Check out all the other answers from some brilliant minds around in the forum
I'm assuming it's in Gauss units because "magnetic resistance to >15,000 Gauss" sounds way better than "magnetic resistance to >1.5 Tesla"
