It's a lovely watch.

Iconic watches have it for £5,550.
You can pick up something with a wooden case and a fabric strap if you like?
Also, have you checked some of the coated metals, might also help you
A proper NATO strap will also keep the metal from the skin too. That opens up a huge range of watches!

There's ceramic cases & bracelets too...

Bit of a classic purchase today - saw it in a local jewelers, reduced to £40.
Casio AMW320r.
Will be my mountain bike watch.
I'd love a blue faced one but they seem like rocking horse droppings.

Looking good NoobCannon . I think I may even prefer the PO on a black NATO, sets off the orange very nicely.
Delivery for me today also, my Vostok Amphibia arrived from Russia in under a week
. Big shoutout to Zenitar on the big auction site, great service.
Can't really go too wrong for ~£35. Build quality isn't nearly as terrible as I had feared. Was really quite impressed with the lume, is about on par with my Christopher Ward. First thing to do was to get rid of the horrid cheap strap that came with it and put on a monkey swag leather one I received a few days ago. Steinhart pictured for comparison
Doesn't look all that special at the moment, but once the replacement bezel part arrives I shall be replacing the face and bezel insert with the following
Hoping it pulls off the black and red combo without looking too silly, but it shouldn't be too expensive a mistake if it looks awful with all the parts coming in under £100 including shipping. It is quite good fun planning out how a watch will look. Not many timepieces you can do that with easily. I also bought it because it seems like quite an interesting piece on how it was designed. I'd recommend a read of this (http://forums.watchuseek.com/f54/vostok-amphibia-analysis-design-methodology-491757.html)

They have it listed as 'Unworn', apart from the obvious what is that likely to mean?
Will it be pre-owned and someone's just kept it in a box or something else, I'd prefer a 'new' one as I think you get 4 years manufacturers warranty with it then?

can I ask where people buy there nato straps from? fancy trying one and was gonna ask my partner for an omega one for Christmas.
anyone own one of the omega natos? if they aren't worth it can someone recommend where I can get one like the image below
I've asked my wife to get me one for my SMP, the black/grey stripe.

So jealous.... My favourite watch and sure to be q classic... First fully ceramic bodied omega and so beautifully done too. Will probably be my first omega.

Took advantage of the eBay flash sale the other day. I had been watching this little beauty for a while. Nothing flash I know but a crack everyday watch and all for less then £200 as well.
Excuse phone pic, but hey, at least its all in focus
Good price, still love mine... Do have to say it's way more comfortable and imo better looking on a hirsch strap

Bezel replacement arrived this morning so the first mod is now complete. Doesn't look quite this pink in real life by the way. Took all of 30 seconds to do
To me, it certainly looks miles better with a proper bezel on it. Now I have the dial replacement to do, which will be a bigger job, and a bit scarier. Never really taken a watch apart before so it should be an interesting learning experience.
