 That is a nice looking homage to the Omega. Someone should start making a list of all off these homage watches. Personally, I don't think it would hurt these guy's sales if they gave credit to the orignal designers. It may even help. I don't have a problem with buying a homage. I do have a problem with these idiots claiming that it is their design. What is even more sickening is when they bring their grandparents into it.:D

Just got this late today. I have to say this is a pretty impressive watch. Having had the $99 model (can't remember the #) in silver, this is a huge step above in presentation and quality. At least that is my first impression. I didn't take the plastic off the back yet. Just shot the pics as is.

The strap is so so, but that won't be a struggle to replace :D For some reason I thought the bezel rotated, but it doesn't. Fit and finish is excellent.

Now the :?: is the winding procedure. The watch wasn't running when I opened the box. I was only able to wind it 5 times before I hit the STOP. So, I will let it run down and try again. It does not look fully wound at the moment. Obviously, 5 turns is not what you'd expect to wind the watch.
