I think that is a great looking watch and I have been considering one for myself, as well. However, my only concern is that the watch seems small (at least comapred to the other Seamaster and Speedmasters)? Thoughts?
: I was remiss in posting my last "new"
: Omega watch here (after all, Zowie's site
: has fueled my Omega lust for years), but
: here's my newest, and most likely my last
: Omega for some time.
:
: This Day Date was a "fluke" purchase,
: but one that I couldn't pass up. I was in
: the market for a new (or used) chrono auto a
: month or so ago after getting a bonus from
: my company for a new client signing. It so
: happens that a Seamaster Pro (Bond style)
: chrono diver came up on TZ for a price not
: much more than my bonus, and I jumped on it
: like a naive child. I say naive because when
: it arrived, it was less than perfect in
: several ways, but I won't get into that.
: Not two days after the SeMP Chrono arrived,
: this baby showed up on TZ. The price was
: right. I wanted it, so I went back to the
: credit card and got it, thinking I may sell
: the SeMP Chrono.
: When it arrived, it was everything the seller
: said it was and then some. I have a bit of a
: stainless steel "fetish" if you
: can call it that - I like stuff that is
: built with strong, shiny (or matt) stainless
: steel - at least in the coffee and espresso
: world. The face on this definitely has this
: radial "steel" finish to it, more
: steel than silver. The dials are white and
: they look awesome.
: Did I say this watch knows espresso? Well, yes,
: it does :) Since it arrived, it has become
: the defacto official timepiece for the
: CoffeeGeek site . For all the detailed
: reviews, first looks and other articles I do
: that feature timings, this baby is doing it
: all. Espresso shot times. Recovery times.
: Boiler cycle times. Steaming times. Ramp up
: to steam times. You name it.
: And it's doing the job well :) (the watch is
: sitting on "the bible" of the
: coffee world - a 1935 edition of "All
: About Coffee", by William Ukers).
