Sunday, September 18th, 2005

Just goes to show you the early bird gets the worms! I’d do it apart from the fact that you need to be up and at them at 6 in the morning, until I read that thread I thought there was only one 6 o’clock in the day;)
The big question is….when you ask the seller […]

Is it Safe to Play Golf With My Omega Watch On?

Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

Interesting discussion over at TimeZone, contains a little bit of everything. Physics, engineering, opinions, patents and even a little flaming, in short the perfect thread. :)

Planet Ocean Sunglasses on the Horizon?

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

Omega’s new Planet Ocean Watch, the BLOCKBUSTER, is raising just a little concern with owners and lookers alike. It seems that in a new departure the anti-reflective coating is on the outside and well as the inside of the crystal.
On the face of it this seems like a bad idea, a virtually unscratchable sapphire crystal […]
