Brice...nice shot...Your pic is a great reminder that these Zodiac Oceanaire's have a great and unique case design, great looking bezel, and cool dial.  Nice bang for your buck here amigo!!ThumbsUp02.gif

Remind me again...these are running on the Claro Semang CL 888 Swiss Movement, correct?  Are you happy with how this movement is running for you?

 


thanks for the kind words Chris. The Oceanaire does have a great and unique case I fell in love with a well as the hands and dial. The lume is pretty cool too, you can see the Zodiac logo at 12. I particularly like this specific color combo of the Oceanaire. My pics don't do it justice this Black IP version is just awsome. I had the orange dial and blue ones before and they were nice but don't even come close to this one. My second favorite is the black dial on bracelet.
You are right on the mvt sir and yes I am happy with it though some
owners have reported significant ticking and hesitation and skipping issues. I gotta say mine runs smoothly and fairly accurate. The screw in crown has to be by far the easiest and smoothest one to operate of all the watches I have owned bar none!!
Cheers. B

Mark....sweet combo on that very vintage strap Culture strap...perfect.gif

I have been fighting the urge to pick up one of these Marine Militare Homage pieces and slap on a nice vintage strap.  Great pics like this aren't helping fight the disease.subtlelaugh.gif  yourock.gif

Thanks for the kind comments, Chris. To be brutally honest I got luck on the picture and the watch does look pretty good... until you really look at the crystal and dial which are pretty weak.:shock: I don't think the SC strap hurts either...;)

Excuse the qualit but its the best my phone can do!

Thanks a lot ndburley, I guess I don't give enough credit to my phone as I should, I just wish it took pics like my camera LOLsubtlelaugh.gif..

I love those GMTs, wish I can someday have one myself, for now, this Navy Sub will do;)..

Thanks for the honest comments Mark.  I may still give one of these homages a spin someday...they seem irresistable for the price, but I know what you are saying regarding anything in the price range of the Marine Militare homages.
