Back to Omega - 9300 and NATO content
After being Omega-less for the last few months, I'm back and very pleased. When I tried this on at the Omega boutique the other day, I started losing sleep. I've always been a Moonwatch fan, but always thought the Speedy 9300 was too big, thick, expensive...and not an original Moonwatch. I spent almost an hour trying it on, looking at all of the options and comparing it to previous Omegas that I have flipped. This watch is very comfortable likely due to being well balanced. Much has been written here about the watch (I know cuz I read most of the posts researching) so I'll spare you the additional review. Also, if you are wondering if the NATOs are worth the steep price of admission, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Thanks for looking, Gil!

stunning watch. I love the 9300 except for the thickness. If just a couple of mm thinner, it would be perfect IMO. Enjoy it.

I used to own one and only sold it because it was too close in appearance to my ROC, but the thickness thing to me is really over-rated. It is obviously a thick watch. But if you think about it and always look at your wrist and say "damn that's a thick watch" it will bother you. But if you just wear it , it really won't. I've got a 6.5" wrist and it worked well for me.

Good looking watch. I've been thinking about what my next watch might be...I think this just made up my mind.
