You may well be right about 50m...

In Response To: Yes, I can... Oh you want me to? Ok... (Chicagoland Chuck Maddox)

I just purchased the 3520.50 and my manual states 50m WR.

You could be right... I know that 30m was what they had had the Moonwatch rated at and I thought it was the same.

In any case, I wouldn't trust the water resistance of any snap back case at the pool. But that's just me.

Maybe I'll check on the official omegawatches.com website for specs on the watch.

The face (dial, bezel, hands) design is a little different, with the older 3520 looking more pleasing to my eyes.

I like the watch very much so far.

Jim

Personally, if given the choice of the old model or new. The new upgrades would be tough for me to pass up. But again, that's just me.
