G guelerctFor owners out there, is anyone comfortable wearing the watch in the shower or in a pool? I have avoided it so far with my grey side (and probably will continue to avoid it)
Regarding the 50m waterproof specification, I wonder why the xSOTM series is 50m compared to Omega's 150m watches. Is it a matter of the crown? Theoretically the ceramic bezel could be polished much smoother than steel, and could be used to be created a more "perfect" water seal and hydrophobic surface...
I am going to wear my DSOTM with this rubber combo for coming September Thailand trip again 😀.. The DSOTM is so understated that I have no problem walking midnight in bangkok street..
so feel free to tell us more about those two years of use, especially the negatives.🍿
Scratches, damage, including on the strap (which I thought could be vulnerable to moisture on the soft leather inside but seems to be quite resistant)... All that feedback from long time users like you is really useful.
No damage at all and it has taken some punishment. Compared it to a new one a couple of months back in one of the Omega boutiques in Bangkok and the only way to tell the difference, dial up, was that one had a tag on it.
On saying that, the chrono seconds hand, when in the 12 o'clock position now settles perceptibly to the left of centre. This I believe, was an issue with some of the original batch as it's previously been discussed here and elsewhere by owners. Early on I noticed mine was a fraction out and took it in to one of the boutiques here and they stated it was within normal parameters and truth be told I wasn't that bothered.
Firstly, what a great photo! Secondly, I now live in Bangkok and never worry about wearing any of my watches at any time. Keep an eye out for Daytona's here. They seem very popular. If you're not already aware, Bangkok is a great place to buy watches as well. I got a 3rd off a Chopard and recently 50% on a Bremont. Omega only have three outlets in Thailand, all boutiques, all in Bangkok (at Siam Paragon, Central Embassy & Emporium shopping Malls). Max. discount is 3% (said with a wink)!
still far expensive than the price i bought in Lisbon, Portugal..
No idea you had bought it there. It's my home town but I couldn't find a good price when I checked.
Hi, I bought mine at boutique dos relogios plus art avenida. It was the best offer I got throughout my Portugal & Spain trip. The salesperson provide excellent service compared to their neighborhood boutique along that avenue.. Before this I did survey the price in Bangkok, Singapore & Malaysia.. Malaysia currently has weak currency for foreigner to shop watch..
Wow, not sure where you live, but if you went on vacation that's an amazingly nice present to buy on a trip 👍
Speaking of which, I love how it's so non-metallic that I just wear it through the airport metal detector.

Ah yes, I know those shops. They have one at Colombo too. They are nice, but still way above the GS rates, of course.
You should get some more photos with the Solar Impulse rubber strap here. Seems people like the look and summaries starting to get hot. 😁
