    Looks like a Speedmaster '57 in gold or rose gold.

    thanks - so this above is close, but the colour of the hands is different... has the guy who has this done a custom job on it? need to find the thread and PM him :) LOL - thanks all.

    Neil.

    Don't worry about being new here, after a year or two you can start to recognise wrist wrinkles, freckles, hair patterns etc.

    Oh!

    And even watches!

    ;)

    It's the lighting, not a custom job...

    I'd guess it's shadow and/or photo filters changing the colour a bit.

    Hi -

    No customization - I'm too much of a purist -

    As others have said - it is the smooth finish on the Gold hands reflecting a dark colour.

    That's why Pictures rarely show off the complexities and true beauty of these watches...


    (Doesn't keep me from trying though...;))

    @Superdoc that last shot is a cracker. The lume on the little chrono hand is something I had not noticed before.

    Omega consistently has horrible photos on their website.
