Re: Looking like June or July
In Response To: Looking like June or July ()

Hi Keith,
Thanks again for the info. Do you know if the new Seamaster Chrono Diver is thinner than the current model? Are the rest of the dimensions similar?

This may be a silly question, but is the new movement better than the one they're using in the current model (1164?)?

I'm looking to get a rugged and reliable chronograph that will last long enough to pass onto future generations (if I ever settle down ;-) I've heard the greatest things about Omegas, and I like the appearance of the Chrono Divers (I tried on the current model and my only "complaint" is that it's a little too thick). In your opinion, is the Chrono Diver a good choice? Should I wait for the new model?

Thanks again for all of your help, I really appreciate it!

Ali
