Pictures for the people. Also because it took like 5 minutes to load that web page. It’s okay, but I don’t love it.

Not my cup of tea but not horrible.

I actually like the black. Green not so much. The website is timing out so it barely loaded any photos for me.

Yeah nice, but they haven't addressed the big problem - so much cleverness on the dial it's hard to read, and frankly a bit of a mess. I've wanted to want a blue one since their debut, but never could quite manage it, it's a shame.

Two things that I don’t like about it it seems to show only the useless northern hemisphere, not the good southern one where
I am!
And it doesn’t feature Melbourne on the bezel, instead it has Smegtown (Sydney) why would you use the smaller less important city?
I’ve lived in most of the capital cities of Oz and of course I chose Melbourne, though would consider Hobart if the deal was right.
Mind you, I’d rather go back to the bush, form whence I came.

I just don't understand why they can't get the 8938 movement into a 41mm case. It's only 3mm wider than the 26mm 8800 and they put that in the 38mm AT all day long. This thing being all dial and 43mm is absurd. The bezel matching the dial will only make it look like even more of a dinner plate on the wrist.

I guess they haven’t got a big enough hammer to drive it in…………. maybe I should offer my services, I got plenty of big bastard hammers that’d be up to the job!
Nothing like a 4lb micrometer for precision engineering. 😁

I used to have a 4lb hammer that had it’s wooden handle smashed to bits and a piece of steel pipe welded to the head as an improvised replacement,
I ended up taking the adjustment thimble off a buggered micrometer and fitting it to the end of the hammer’s handle.
Whenever I would work with someone new, I’d make sure I had their full attention and make a great show of putting on my reading glasses and with much care and precision, adjust the micrometer settings of the hammer, before wildly belting the living bejesus out of something.
I would enjoy the puzzled looks on their faces until they realised that I was having them on…..some took a lot longer than others to figure out what I was up to.
A good way to evaluate a newcomer to see if they had a sense of humour, any sense at all or if they were just as dumb as dog shit!

Love the green of course… glad Omega is starting to utilise this colour more.
