Went Quartz

I was in a local pawn shop I frequent and the owner said, here's the deal of the day....

I've been looking for a water watch for when I go to SoCal and surf, board, boat, etc.... If this happens to come off the wrist hanging 10, I won't cry

Oh, and it keeps perfect time

This is my first Omega. Keeps time within seconds per year and is easy to grab on the way out the door. No worry about setting the time or date. Quartz is not all bad.

I'd be pretty bummed if I lost that in the surf... Congrats on a classic

Beautiful watch. My everyday watch is the 2541.80 Quartz. I have it on a mesh and love it!

The step child of the 2254.50, love it! If you've yet to experience the lume on the Seamaster you're in for a nice surprise! Nice pick up!
