What time is it? Watches and horology

I would have thought so, according to the mystery on omega instagram.

Everyone knew it, they paid Daniel Craig to be photographed wearing it. It was just a question of when, and whether it was going to be limited.

Yeah, not happening! Not for a very long time, at least.

@ejay2.0 how much would you expect a full service and mainspring replacement to cost in the UK for an omega Speedmaster moonwatch? Just been quoted $1100 AUD so wanted to check eu/GB prices to make sure it's ballpark correct. Seems fair to me.

£800 plus

Thanks, good to know. The guy doing is a master watchmaker so I have full confidence in him.

On a similar note, is watch cleaning a thing? I’d quite like my BB58 case and bracelet cleaned up but no service/polish required…

My latest guilty pleasure watch

Seems that no one show love for the railmaster in the Omega lineup. Is that an impression ?

Great all around piece, fully brushed case, good movement, nice caseback..

Could have something to do with that it costs €5500

What's the wait list

Take my money !!!

And I would expect a substantial wait list at first.

They've learned their lesson on the colourways then - the white face with black hands/bezel is by far the best looking of the current Seamaster's. I'm sure that'll be very popular!

It looks very nice.

Dammit has / had one.

Always thought they were nice, but strong money for what they are especially being a bit visually flat. Consumers agreed and they could regularly be had at 40% off come sale time, at least before the pandemic.

I'm a fan of the railmaster

Yep. If they cranked down the fauxtina just a smidge, I think they may sell better. I've always liked the OG one.

Like them, just feel that the current dial options let them down.

They were always discounted as never a popular line.

They need to get back to this:

I think the current line up is boss... Except for the price.

Guess depends on how bad it is..

I ended up brushing out my polished centre links, so you could clean it yourself

I like that
