Omega just released this as a special edition for the Beijing Olympics. I think it is quite cool:

Love the finish on the bezel. Great looking watch

Yeah, it is particularly well done, and also unlike polished bezels it looks quite scratch-proof.

Been really happy with the Lum-Tec, running at +3 seconds a day which is in COSC standards for a mechanical movement so I can't complain seeing as how that wasn't one of their selling points.

Loving this minutiae of the watch world here.

I always knew there were others.

I’m coming up on a service anniversary at work and am thinking of getting a nice watch. I’ve never spent more than $100. I like the look of some of the Longines watches. Do they have a good reputation? Also, I like the look of the Frederique Constant moonphase watches. Seems that we have a lot of informed folks here. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post from the Fall. Did a lot of research, managed not to get fired and picked up a Mido watch. Just arrived today.

That's a terrific watch!! Looks great, particularly on that leather strap. Wear in good health.

We bought young Master C a smart watch last Christmas but he never used it. He passed it on to me, bloody thing has taken over my life. I have to take so much exercise per day, move a certain amount and stand up so many times very 12 hours. I just hate to disappoint the thing if I don’t do it all.

Pays to research...I'd bet a few duckets you're glad you did. The watch business has a bit of tomfoolery in it...as I'm sure you came to realise. I see you like design simplicity in your watch face too...

I like the Max Bill line...

@LEONARD hah, was going back through this thread for things I may have missed and realised I mistook Junkers for Junghans. Junkers has the Bauhaus line...same vibe!

Oh, watch disease...why do you make me lust in such a dirty manner. If this was an ex's Facebook page I'd be accused of hardcore creeping and handed a restraining order.

Beautiful dials. One day I will get a Credor with a porcelain dial - but I dunno how I'll have the money for it!
