Mine was an impulse purchase and I enjoyed it for quite a while, but in the end it didn't stick. I tried to convince my wife to take it as I thought the size would be perfect for her but she said the dial was too busy.
still have it?
Thanks to @dsio 's article, I had to try one in the metal. The easiest opportunity for me turned out to be bidding on one ... and winning it. Now that it is on my wrist, I do experience what the article suggests; this piece has much more wrist presence than one would expect given the modest diameter. I am a fan. 😀
(Yup, PolyWatch still required)
I still have one on my wishlist with an original crystal that looks pretty ugly. I keep debating between this and the dynamic iiii chrono.
One i too many?
They aren’t normally cross shopped but IMO of those 2 get the skinny Connie. The D3 chrono is disappointing. It has all the downsides of the Speedy reduced, out of line pushers, thicker case and servicing complications with only some of the charm of the D3 3 hander.
The $900 omega swap only service seems a bit much too. I didn't realize, but I should have since it's an add-on module, that the pushers would be out of line with the crown. I like the dial design I suppose. I have to read more on the reduced I guess.
Apologies Ash for dragging this off on an irrelevant tangent, I’ll stay on topic after this…
If you like the D3 dial, and many of us do, you should think seriously about the 3 harder. I have one and wouldn't part with it. It has a lot of the utilitarian businesslike charm of the 40s and 50s Omegas military watches but using modern materials and a quirky dial different enough to be interesting. I think there is one for sale on here now at a price that seems pretty fair. I have no affiliation to the seller though!
