Picked up an unloved one

Had a FOIS in the past, really liked it. Seems like I go for the unpopular models when it comes to Omega :)
As I’ve always said…just get what makes you happy.
I really like the dial on this one and the size.
Been discontinued for a while but found a NOS. Great watch to wear with no worries…

A friend of mine owns. I absolutely love this watch and how it wears. Such a perfect fit. And I love the colours on it and the strap.

What's the reference again? I looked at a couple a few months ago. Maybe should look into them again.

Thanks gentleman, I agree! I like it very much, but definitely not one of their better selling variations. I think the size has a lot to do with it.

Congratulations!

When you get what you like, you probably will not get bored with it, it least you won’t for a while. At least, that’s how it works for me. As of right now, I haven’t sold a single piece I purchased.

I've always really like this one. The pop of yellow and the textured sub dials, so cool.

I really like the layout of the dial markers and the symmetry of the sub dials.

Nice choice.

Great watch!! I bought mine from Jomashop last month . Only thing I don’t care for is the rotor is quite noisy.

Any wrist shots? I have been looking at this for a while now on Jomashop but my hesitation is the size. I have a 7.75 inch wrist and 40mm for a chrono just seems kind of small. I have a Rolex BLNR and it is the smallest watch I own. I have looked at Daytonas and they are just too small for me for a chrono. I have an AT chrono which is 43mm and it looks about right to me. But the bezel on this model is pretty thin so maybe the face will be big enough.

Jomashop just reduced the price on the bracelet version and it is getting really temping.

BTW, before anyone chimes in, I have purchased new Omegas for myself and Mrs. WJJ from Jomashop and all have been new, snickered, original box, with everything else except the warranty card. Never a problem with any of them. The discounts on Jomashop are way better than anything at an AD so even if I have to send it in for a service or two, I am still ahead.

Great looking watch. Looks cool on that strap. Isn't this considered a 'Racing' Speedy?
