On leather nato. Man this looks good with brown.

great pic !

I saw it in real yesterday for the 1st time, it looks awesome. (sadly not mine, I am still waiting for mine.....). We've tried it with a 1171, 1039 and 1479, it looks much better with bracelet, I think the NATO provided with the watch is not so good. This Zulu Diver looks really cool too

Both the above two look amazing!

Amazing shots!!!

4xx still waiting. no news. OB has no knowledge at all

my friend's st2 has arrived though. pictures look great but SOOOOO much nicer in the flesh
one of best looks in many years. Though IMHO it could get better with a different bezel

only weird thing is that it doesnt come with a flat bracelet. shame.

Well I received a call on 26th July(6 weeks ago today) to say my Ultraman had arrived in London and would be at my chosen AD within 2 weeks. Then had a call from the AD chain 17th August to say it would be arriving at my chosen store either that or the following week. No update since. So when you get that call folks be prepared it could still be a reasonable wait.

I haven't bothered chasing it up, money is very tight at the moment so waiting is fine by me.

Just got an email, that my 12xx landed at the Hungarian OB. (Unfortunately I can't pick it up till Monday 🙁 )

And even the price is quite friendly - ~5350 EUR, including the 😲 27% VAT

Same story from me I had a call three weeks ago saying Ultra is on his way but still no sign of him at the OB. Thou I am grateful for the extra time to save a little more money. As long as I get it at some point im happy

Always buy one from Chrono24, there’s 19 of the damn things for sale currently! 🤔

I remember wanting to sell my Snoopy and there were thousands of them on chrono24. I waited until they all went to people that actually wanted to own one. Then I sold. I just couldn't get used to that dog but I like the Ultraman blob and all

Quick pic of ST2 on an 1171. The end link fit is good without any adjustments, and is the same as it was on my SM300.

Picked up 969 in Southern California this past weekend (following an Auburn win😉 👍), making 9/1/2018 one of the best days of my life.

I haven't posted on here much, but I have been watching you all for the better part of a year.. I've learned more than I ever imagined and I greatly appreciate you all. Some background:

My mother gifted me a Tissot PRC-200 when I was 15, my first and favorite piece. I broke the bracelet at school in 2013 and it has been on the camo NATO seen below ever since. A few years later, I saved up enough to buy my older brother's Planet Ocean (co-axial 8500 45.5mm) from him and immediately switch the bracelet to a NATO. It was around this time I began to research the mechanics and history of these pieces properly. Leading up to my PO, I appreciated the craftsmanship and look of watches but I knew little about the history and reasoning behind every detail. As you all can imagine, it opened up a floodgate of information and I was never the same. I mention all of this because it puts some emphasis on why ST2 is so perfect for me, and I have nobody to share with in real life.

I decided January of 2018 it was time to compliment my PO with my first brand-new mechanical piece. I have been saving for the better part of 2 years and the PO was becoming less practical as I found myself diving and fishing far less than in my young 20's. My free time leading up to 7/10/18 (ST2 reservation day) was reserved for the Omega Forums and countless watch blogs or magazines (shoutout to Hodinkee for slamming another LE in my face days after Ultraman...)

I always wanted a speedy, but I felt it was wiser to buy a comparable, more affordable watch from a different brand than Omega. Nothing excited me like walking into Omega and daydreaming did... I eventually decided it was not in my best interest to force a purchase just because I wanted a new piece and to wait for the right time and piece to present itself. Queue Ultraman.

The morning of July 10th around 2:55 am (sorry if you read this comment on Hodinkee too, i was beyond excited..) I was bit by my girlfriend's dog after I accidentally kicked it in my sleep. I went to get a glass of water and began scrolling through Instagram to put myself back to sleep right as Omega posted the Ultraman debut. The time had come. (as I type this, my body is covered in goosebumps. I love you all.) The list of reasons justifying ST2 as my perfect watch is never-ending. I've always admired the history behind the moonwatch, my school colors include Orange (watch shots in Jordan Hare, please), the watch ONLY CAME ON A NATO AND I LOVE NATOS, and it all happened extremely organically, as it should. I like to think this piece makes my passion for watches and hopes of building a collection official.. I almost pulled the trigger on a new Santos, AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Thank you to anyone that made it through my unnecessary introduction. Happy to be here, sorry for the shots of ST2, I'm still learning.

^ you should thank the poor dog
