And, wouldn't you know it? Two were used during filming. I had the second one, got stuck, had to fight my way out, I wasn't thinking, slipped the watch over my fist and bam! I let the man have it, no pulse, hope he makes it, gotta ski away nooowwww....
It writes about the history of the YM and there are 2 (non-official points) that fascinate me:
1. In the late 80s Rolex was playing with design games on how to replace the Submariner and the result was what we know the Yachtmaster today.
2. It obviously took them at least 5 years to put the final produst in the showcases. That's a VERY long time!
And I wonder how scared they have been to give the iconic Submariner the Supercase . The Maxidial was already there for almost 8 years in the 16610 LV.

I like the look of the NATO strap, but I find it makes the watch top heavy which makes the watch slip, they seem to fit either to lose or to tight for me

I would love a NATO strap but share your concerns...plus it's a LOT of money - especially if you aren't happy with the result...

At the weekend I was sorting out my suit for my forthcoming role as FOTB, and I went into our local jewellers and looked at the Tudor Pelagos ........... I am a complete novice when it comes to watches but I was really impressed with it and how light it was, even to the point where I may consider replacing my Omega PO for one.
Waits for wise words and advice from Higgins, which will be much appreciated {[]
At the Omega boutique in King of Prussia yesterday to get the NATO strap on my PO, but also was able to see and hold the PLATINUM 300...wow, its heavy but amazing!

All these pics of PO with the NATO strap on look really great. Certainly I'm sold on the idea
Could I add my two penneth on the Tudor Pelagos front with two points. Firstly, try one on, they look and feel massive. Secondly, they are bringing a new one out with blue face which looks fantastic. Its sort of a take on the white gold rolex sub 116619 with similar shade of blue. Hope this helps.
After going into the Omega shop last weekend to have my PO put on the Nato strap I ended up coming out with this instead. I really wasn't fussed about it before but after seeing it in the flesh, trying it on and buying it, it really has grown on me. Even the stainless strap looks better in the flesh and out of the shiny lights of the shop although the watch looks 100 times better on the Nato IMO.
There are still some bits I am undecided on, like the yellow markers, but overall I am more than happy with it.

Interesting. Now i feel like my Omega's are just expensive rip offs.

Quality of these is absolutely great for the money, very impressed.
I've always loved it - has an IWC touch imo {[]

Now take this, Tudor:
This is how a nice and new inhouse automatic movement looks like!

Can we see the crown/crownguard section closer?

If you are getting a Pelagos, you should wait until they are fitted with the manufacture movement and then ASK ME (otherwise you'll pay too much
Not sure if I'd get rid of the PO though - still a great watch even it's not a Rolex

Advice duly noted ...... will wait until they are fitted with the manufacture movement.
Thank you Higgins, I knew I could depend on you. {[]
I guess its looking more likely that this SM300 wont be available as NATO version and a case of buying the strap separately
All these pics of PO with the NATO strap on look really great. Certainly I'm sold on the idea
Did someone say "GOT"?
