    but omg this one beats the hype, incredible
    My children went ballistic over it and the case back

    This watch has something missing from modern watches: soul
    It’s brought the fun back

    Incredible watch

    Couldn’t stand the strap
    So on a vintage bracelet!

    I will try get a new bracelet soon

    I am glad you and your kids are enjoying it! Snoopy seems to be really enjoying his EVA. :)

    That blue Cordura strap is very stiff and cheaply made. I am sure it will eventually break-in but I think it is easily one of the worst straps that Omega has put on their modern watches. That said, it does allow the dial to take the center stage. The silver has a luster which, depending on the light can be taken away by a bracelet or a brighter strap. The Cordura does serve a purpose. It is dull and enhances the blue without drawing attention away from the silver. Go back and forth between the bracelet and the strap - it should be a fun experience. I think there is a reason why Omega put this watch on a Cordura strap. The tang buckle allows for the easy viewing of the caseback. Thoughtful design but poor execution on the strap.

    Lovely! Congrats.

    Still waiting for mine, it’s taking so long to turn up. Can’t wait to see it in person.

    Far better than what I spected during the waiting.
    But the big "boom" has been adding 3861 bracelet, incredible combination, and Ican still admire the caseback.

    Certainly a watch that makes you smile when you look at it.
    I’m actually pretty happy with mines original strap, though yours looks great on the bracelet.

    The bracelet combo elevated an already spectacular looking watch. Wow, it looks fantastic.

    I think I'll get an Uncle Seiko for mine. Although given my place on the waiting list, I'm looking at a Great Uncle Seiko. Possibly a Great Great Uncle...:p
