Re: The DeVille made me do it...
Derek, That's a beautiful watch, I have seen that one in the stories and your right, the picture does not do it justice. Let us know how well it does with accuracy and all those things. Enjoy your new watch! Damon
: Well, the Labor Day holiday weekend is over. For
: those of you outside the USA, the purpose of this US
: holiday is like most US holidays -- to give millions of
: people the day off to go shopping. This not only boosts the
: economy here, ensuring the need for labor for the rest of
: the year, it also causes people to incur enough debt that
: they HAVE to labor for the rest of the year! This keeps the
: whole country from simply shutting down before the end of
: the year.
: My contribution to the economic health of the country this
: year included buying another Omega! Not that I had planned
: to just yet. But sometimes these things just happen. Even
: more to my surprise, I became enamored with a... no, not
: another Seamaster... no, not that new Split-Second
: Speedmaster I'd been eyeing... no, not even that neat
: Constellation chronograph... this time it was a DeVille
: that reeled me in!!
: Yes, a DeVille Prestige Chronometer in stainless steel.
: Beautiful dressy watch, no fancy functions, solid Omega
: automatic chronometer movement like in many of the current
: Seamaster and Constellations, and the enduring classic
: style that goes back as far as Omega itself. The photograph
: to the left does not do justice to the sparkle and
: reflectiveness of the highly polished steel finish. In
: normal lighting, the satin finish on the dial has a soft
: glow with the hands reflecting darker -- making an even
: more appealing contrast.
: One of the particularly winning features for me is another of
: Omega's fantastic watch bracelets -- almost as fascinating
: as the watch itself. You may not immediately notice, but
: the link pattern curves to match the roundness of the
: watch.
