I want to see this very watch in person. I don't know if it's too busy or just wonderful from photos

I want to say 42... Coupled with my skinny wrists it does look huge.

I have seen it and it is a beautiful but it just did not really sing to me. I found the globe in the middle more distracting to the eye than it was useful

He told me I'd "look like I was 13, if not for the wrinkles." Managed to insult me for looking too young and too old at the same time. I'm 24, for reference.

But Geneva’s not on the dial. :)

Nice world timer though.

For me this falls under the category: nice to have but am not pursuing it.

Wow, I would love to! Sadly the AD closest to me never seems to have a lot of special models in stock. I've been able to see new release 007 limited pieces over the years though.

Never seen these around, even at the Omega Boutique on 5th Ave in NYC.

How thick is it?

Yeah. I get it. I don’t know much wrist time it’s going to get but I love to look at it.

Also waiting to see one. The Omega Boutique in Houston told me a few weeks ago the first 5 are already spoken for. But that they weren’t even in the US yet. Looks like that’s changed.

I actually delayed picking mine up for a week so that the manager could show it to their regular clients.

Same in Toronto. The first one they get in is already paid for. They aren’t expecting many to come in. And hope the first one comes in soon. The said they would call me in to see it when it arrives.
