You're entitled to your opinion but you're gonna be awful lonely in your conclusion.

Bo,
Great looking chrono.

Hello friends of expensive watches

I ordered the chrono diver with black dial 5 weeks ago and I cannot wait to get it soon. Anyway I have a question regarding the seconds hand. Is the second hand actually showing the seconds or is it just moving when measuring time?

Hello, welcome and congrats.

The second hand measures the 60-seconds segment when the chrono is activated. The subdial by 3 o'clock measures by the minute; 6 o'clock subdial measures by the hour; subdial by 9 o'clock is for the actual timekeeping.

Good advise regarding the card that comes with all Omegas. It will tell you all the features. I recently sold a Seamaster GMT and discovered the card symbols as I was packaging the watch to ship.

I am just SO tempted at just buying it and waving the DSSD good

I have the funds for the Omega SMP chrono diver now (in Denmark it costs about the half of what the DSSD is going to cost).

Better wait! But it sure is tough!

Hey guys,

first of all I love this watch, that's why I ordered it in February but I still haven't received a phonecall to pick it up. I went to my dealer and he mentioned that Omega is thinking of stopping the production of the Chrono Diver in favour of the PO Chrono. Did anybody of you guys hear sth similar?

Four years later it still gets the majority of my wrist time. It's just a great watch.

Question:

It states that the domed sapphire crystal is "anti-reflective". Is the crystal AR coated on BOTH sides or on the inner side only?

I really like the look of this watch!

YES! I know I am considering so many watches, but I could not buy the Hamilton "Khaki" that Paul ("Mailman") recently made a review of since Hamilton watches are not shipped out of the States. And I don't feel like waiting for the MKII six months.
i am also thinking of purchasing a seamaster. very nice

What I like about this watch is:

The date neatly tucked away at 6 O'Clock-

The sword hands-

The matt, flat dial...I'm not wild about the wave dial-

The bracelet and clasp are so nice and very comfortable-

Keeps fantatstic time-

I got a great deal on it when a local watch shop lost their AD status-

Funny that I'm wearing mine as I type this! Great watch! Keeps almost +0 time. Love how you can push the chrono buttons underwater.
