    Figured I'd post a picture of a watch that I feel doesn't get enough attention!

    Ahh stunning watch! Been on the hunt for one (that's not one of the CR LEs) for weeks but no luck with my searching.

    Not sure which size you're looking for but here is one.

    Thanks but unfortunately that's the smaller 42mm version. Looking to grab the Big Size 45.5mm.

    Just wondering, is the PO 2200.50.00 steel on steel the same as the SA CR PO 2900.50.91 steel on rubber apart from the strap? It sure looks like it but just looking for some confirmation from someone who knows watches a little better than me.

    Very nice NATO band!
    I also bought one for my Diver.
    Isn't it too narrow for your watch or is it simply a tribute to Sean Connery"?

    Cheers
    Thanks, its somewhat of an accidental tribute to Connery, I really didn't know what size the strap was, but really wanted one! I had no luck finding one until today and snapped it up. Where did yo buy it from? I almost left the boutique but decided to have them put it on for me to discover that it didn't come with the clasp so they were kind enough to put one on :)

    Pics?

    I bought it from Omega.
    I think this model comes with a buckle.

    Yeah the 45mm PO is the same less rubber strap. I always recommend buy8ng that and getting the rubber later it’s the most cost effective way than doing it the other way around. The bracelets are expensive if you buy seperately.

    The 45mm is a bit of a beast and too big for my wrists so did same in 42mm now I got QOS covered as well :D

    Cheers

    I confirm that the only difference is the bracelet.

    For the blue Seamaster, I'd go for the grey and blue.
    Black and Grey with a black dial/bezel and can't see any need for the other strap.

    Not really looking to buy a NATO strap, but have been playing around on the Omega website. I have that exact same watch and would buy either the middle one or this one:

    I just got off the phone from placing an order with Omega for the Seamaster Commander NATO but I was also looking at the same strap as well as the 2nd one in Jet007's post. Decided on the Commander as my Seamaster GMT 2535.80 has some red accents that it would be a good match.

    Strap part # is 032-CWZ006531 $150.00
    Buckle part # 94512002. $45.00

    I didn’t know you had to buy the buckle separate from the strap. Is that for just the Commander or all their straps? Thanks for all the opinions, everyone!

    With Omega I wouldn't be surprised if you'd have to buy the holes in the strap separately too.

    I bought my nato from Omega when they first came out and got the whole lot together. I know that when you buy leather straps you have to buy the leather and clasp seperate nut never head of it on a nato until now.

    An incredible article about the short age of LED watches that puts amateurish attempts in that field from the self-proclaimed expert and researcher Dell Deaton from Jamesbondwatches to shame:

    Hello there, I don't mean to go off topic, but since I'm considering to purchase a watch from chrono24 site, I was wondering if any of you had some feedback on them.
    Cheers

    Ciao

  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    You can‘t buy from Chrono24 usually, you buy from private and professional sellers who list on chrono24.

    Your risk is as high as if you buy on ebay.

    Thanks for your answer, yes I know that they are just a "show-room", the seller in my case is a shop, and they do trusted payment, but even so you think it's still risky?

    It depends on the shop. If you buy from a store it is worth checking to see if they are an AD of the brand you are planning to buy. If not, proceed with caution!

    I would only buy a watch over chrono24 if I can pick up the watch in person

    Excellent advice. I found a store nearby that also advertises on chrono24. Knowing I was dealing with a reputable company I had no hesitation to drop by to discuss watches and prices.

    When I called Omega to inquire about the strap I had him double check if the buckle was included? He advised me that some of the basic NATO straps do include a buckle but unfortunately the Commander does not.

    I personally would not take the risk to buy on Chrono24. That said, I am personally acquainted with people who have sold through the site and these individuals are beyond reproach. I think you just open yourself up to a wide array of experiences.

    I bought myself a Movado bangle bracelet watch. I wanted one to wear with my charm bangle bracelets. I really hate the color of the face but I was trigger happy and bought it. Can you change the faces?

    Oh yes, faces of watches can me changed. Seiko mods are a popular hobby (and business for some). The only real issue is finding a face of the correct size and shape and finding a watchmaker you trust to do the modification.

    Thank you for the information. I love the watch, but the face is so bad.
