Re: Changing the Subject ..... sort'a of
I was having coffee with a fellow retiree this morning and wearing my new Seamaster Special edition US only. Then it struck me. Why special edition for the US only? I'm guessing that it is because of the way the depth is displayed on the dial. 1000 feet. In the rest of the world everything is meters. The US is feet. That's why all other watch dials display both ft and meters. On the case back it shows US Special Edition 1000 ft.
: Received my 'new' Seamaster 2589.30 yesterday. I say new as the
: plastic film Omega wraps around the entire case was intact as
: well as the pictograph, warranty card(dated 2005)by the jeweler
: and the chronometer card plus thick book of about 15 languages.
: All the stuff based on my buying new. Anyway I set the watch
: around 1400 hours Tuesday. It is now 0800 hours Wednesday and it
: hasn't lost or gained a beat. Beautiful watch. Great looking
: dial as opposed to all the 'blue' dial Seamasters. I'd say
: silver in color, the sub dials are slightly darker. Hands are
: big and bold, as are minute markers. Date at 6 is easy to read.
: The center sweep seconds hand as well as the hands in the
: subdials are all red tipped. Again easy to read. Comfort, very
: nice, the bracelet was sized perfectly for a 15mm tall watch. No
: flopping or sliding. Permanent seconds at 9. Satisfied? Yep.
