It's a good looking watch - especially for the price - but it's a little too 'dressy' for my liking. I don't have an Omega

Do the standard thing to "casual" it up more, slap a Nato on it

Another Omega owner? I'm sensing a pattern

Not at all. I have quite a few watches in my watch box at the moment, from Citizen, Seiko, Roamer, to Omega and Bell & Ross. I'm just not feeling the love for it. It's a hell of a watch for the money though.

No Bambino love Cosimo?

Not my cup of tea.

The Dark Moon is worth getting just because it has a cool name! Is 'glass' still not sapphire as per original moon watch?

It is sapphire crystal and anti reflective.

The Speedmaster Pro is Hesalite (acrylic) but the DSOTM is sapphire crystal.

I know what you mean.

Sometimes a watch just has no impact, it's a very personal thing. It's like me and the Seiko Orange Monster, it has such a big following and many owners. I've read countless comments about it, it's great build etc. Everyone praises how nice it is (to the point where I feel like I should be liking it). But it just does nothing for me!

I quite like the Bambino but it just makes me want one of the below. I was thinking about getting something new whilst I keep looking for a PAM 332 at a sensible / not too ridiculous price. Might just have to see if I can find one!

No way, how long have you had it?

Only a few months, sadly.

Any info and/or pictures of where it broke? Be interesting to know/see this.

Edit*
Also which version was it?

Too late for photos, as it is boxed up and wrapped to go. As for version, it's the same as yours I think, check my previous posts in this thread for photos.

Can't say I'm feeling the love for the Bambino either.

mrk · 15 Jan 2014 at 17:07

But where/how did it break.. That's what I'd like to know. Lack of info is a poor show!

Only because you have an Omega

No, because it's just unexceptional, so no love.

No pleasing some

I like it, it's clean, simple and elegant.

Though I'm not fan of the crocodile leather type strap, easily fixed though.

mrk · 15 Jan 2014 at 18:45

The white dial version comes with a brown alligator strap with lighter stitching, one of the reasons I went white too. IMO that looks classier in the pictures posted. Hopefully it's the same in the flesh.

Same, it doesn't do anything for me.

My (difficult to obtain) Blue Orient Ray arrived today from the US.

The face is pretty amazing, it has a rich blue depth about it. In certain light it can look black, and then a slight change in angle and the face reflects this amazing deep blue sweeping light. I think it's a really impressive finish on a watch of this price. I'm not surprised it's kinda hard to get a hold of this one.

Raymond Lin · 15 Jan 2014 at 23:17

Another watch? it's like one every week for you!

I like it, very classy.

Janesy B · 15 Jan 2014 at 23:20

Now that's nice.

2StepSteve · 15 Jan 2014 at 23:22

Thanks Raymond

I know

.. the GF has gone absolutely nuts at me, I've had to hide a couple! I'm definitely done for now!
