Seamaster Multifunction 2521.81

I read the past posts on this watch. For the second time I stopped by a local dealer to take a look at it. It's a pretty interesting watch. I've pretty much narrowed it down to this watch or a Revue Thommen Airspeed Multifunction. The Omega is most certainly more attractive and sports a few more features.

Unfortunately, the dealer wasn't as familiar with this watch as I had hoped. I found it difficult to set and I found the interface a little frustrating to try to get the alarm to beep (we never got that working). I've heard from some that the audibility of this alarm isn't as great as say the X-33. My only complaint I guess then is the lack of luminescence on the hands, but you wouldn't want big hands obstructing the view of the LCD readout.

Any input from any owners out there would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
