The pattern on these tropicals always led me to infer they would be stiff. Happy to learn that is not so...very pliable and comforatlbe...YaY!
Switching off with the original Turtle on waffle for comparison. Good times!
I was rooting through my briefcase and found my backup, backup watch that I was using on a field assignment a few years back. It features a non-replaceable battery which is supposed to last for ten years. I recall that the cost was about $US 20.00 for this watch, which comes out to $2/year. I'm really digging its lightness. And check out the water-resistance rating: 100m! Not bad, for what is essentially a disposable watch 😀
Is there anything more graceful than an over the decades well earned Patina ...?!
Even a perfect NOS watch face cannot compare to a factory original but unique piece with beautiful patina IMHO!
A unique G.Genta design, case in Stainless with seamless 18k gold inlay, all matt finish.
At the time, this SS/18K/18K model was about 40% more expensive than the Speedmaster professional.
It must be now one of the most underrated Omega series ...
