In Response To: Re: Speedmaster 3813.53.00 ()

: Hi!

: I am very confident about my watch. I have
: explained that was very difficult to find
: it. It was not very popular, fortunately, in
: Spain. I had very clear ideas and I did not
: wanted it in white color. Black dial is
: more... smart.

: Well, answering to your question. I have found
: a lot of differences between 3813.53.00 and
: 3813.50.01. Both have black dial, but the 50.01
: has the same color in the numbers and the
: three smal hands. I mean, the two small
: markers, used to chronometer, have the
: numbers and the hands in silver color, as
: same as the seconds marker. 53.00 (ours)
: uses white color, numbers and hand, for the
: seconds marker. But uses red color to
: numbers and hands in the markers of
: chronometer (top and above.

: Bezel is silver and in the ours is black.

: Our clock has arabic numbers, all except 12, 3,
: 6 y 9, the one you mention has no any
: number.

: Case is a little smaller. Ours is 41.0
: milimetres of diameter, the other is 37.0.

: Hands, in my watch, are white (hours and
: minute) and seem to be thicker than 50.01.
: The hand of the seconds in the chronometer
: has, at the end, a shape very similar to an
: arrow in the 50.01. And it is silver
: colored. In my watch, the hand of the
: chronometer used in the seconds is red, and
: very very sharp.

: 53.01 is sold with a leather (cow, I think)
: strap, while 50.01 has alligator one.

: Never the less, I am going to try to send you
: two photos to compar them, ¿ok?

: Best regards from Spain!

: José

Hello Jose

I am very curious about pictures of your watch! I thougt i knew how it looked, but from your story I conclude that we have very different watches. Is there perhaps a picture on the OMEGA - internetsite witch matches yours? I guess mine is more 'ordinary' (as far as you can speak of ordinary according to an Omega watch). I hope it is not that of a disappointment...
