Second (and last!) biggun incoming this week. 45.5 black face all-white numerals Omega PO just back from the AD for a freshen-up to the mesh.  A Q&D until I get more familiar with it and we get to spend some quality time together... ;)

Funny how these beautiful things become instant favourites... cheers all and haveagoodweekend! IanM

Thanks, Trent. I used to wear this quite often years ago when I worked in a bank and my lifestyle required dressing up a lot. Ever since I moved and took a job with more field work, this watch had to hibernate. I get to wear this every once in a while for big presentations at the office. This is my 4th or 5th post of this one since I joined in April. Thanks for the kind words:)

Yep, those pesky collared link pins are a pain. Heaven help you if you lose one in the carpet. Gotta disagree on the bracelet, I think they are cool! Just proves the old adage, "Different strokes for different folks." Hopefully you get it tightened up(They also look good on rubber straps, though)

The Monster series bracelets are ok to me. I think you just need to get used to them. They are very hardly, don't scratch up that easy and really ideal for tool watches.

They also look good on rubber but somehow, the steel appeals better to me.:)

Yeah I wanted to put a rubber on it, but all the ones I had were too big:D
anyway.... I don't dislike the looks of the bracelets as much as these freakin' link pins... Ridiculous. Bad design:(
I put my custom SteveO strap on it as I did not trust the bracelet and it fits like a glove on it! Now I need to buy a 20mm rubber strap. Too bad the BH ones are 22's! I love my green one on the Moray and don't think I can squeeze it in the Monster's 20 lugs.

Hi Tommy Boy - welcome!

Not too familiar with Hamilton out here in good 'ole Western Australia, because the US brand has no representation here. But that one is a beauty! Case design looks well integrated to the wrist. Cool crown protectors. Nice power reserve. What's not to like?? Thats a very tasty Khaki!

Have a good day! Ian hand6.gif

I know they are a pain in the a$$ to adjust, but this is a very secure system that is also used on certain high watch company, if I'm not mistaken Omega is using the same system on the Seamaster bracelt...This watch is a real approved diver watch, not just a cheap look a like and I think it's a nice feature on such an affordable watch.  Anyway, it's not like if you have to adjust it each time you wear it, once done, it,s good to go...for the rest of your life!  ;)
