In a strange quirk of timing, the Rolex I custom ordered from DavidSW a few months ago was delievered on Thursday.

And the 'gently used' Seamaster Aqua Terra I finally found online that I liked was purchased this week and deleivered Friday.

One, Thurs and one Fri! Fun!

I just had the Omega band adjusted to fit me properly this afternoon, but before I left the house, I put the Omega with the really big band on as well as my properly-fitting Rolex.

Omega is 36mm and the Rolex is 31mm. I REALLY wanted a 31mm Omega as well, but couldn't find one and couldn't pass up this nice 36mm I saw this week. Omega for every day. Rolex for dress up occasions. (More pics of the Rolex on my Rolex thread.)

I don't know how you guys take some super photos of these watches! I need a zoom lens I guess. My camera does NOT do these beauties justice!

And any idea what this Omega clasp is called, if anything? My husband loves the sliding thing. He says his Professional/Bond band doesn't have it and it would make it so much easier. I actually think it makes it MORE difficult to get on because its sliding all over the place.

.. but I'll get used to it.

Cheers!

I like that Omega! Don't worry a bit about the 36mm size - it looks good on you.

Someone who knows more may need to correct me - but isn't that called a "glidelock" clasp?

Both beautiful watches. Congratulations!

Looking good!

Both watches look great, and by having a 31mm and a 36mm gives you some variety. Enjoy them.

Congrats on the back to back pickup. They look great.

Suzy, if your camera has a "macro" setting give it a try for clearer close up photos.

Almost feels like Christmas when that happens.

Congrats Suzy nice watches both.

What a great week, Suzy! Congrats again. The Omega looks great on you.

I wore the Omega all day today at the poker room. Pretty comfy!

Yesterday though it was So hot and sweaty under the watch face in the 100+ weather. I'm going to have to remember that for the really hot summer days! Smaller watch face would be better. I think I will enjoy it more in the winter. :)

Lisa - hubby says 'glide lock" is a Submariner special word he knows of, so that's probably not it. Someday I'll be educated enough about the darn watch to know.

And no "maco" setting on the camera I know of, but there is some kind of setting so you can take close up pictures of flowers (it actuality has a flower on the dial on the digital). Hmmm ... Maybe that would work. I'll try again another day!

Happy 4th of July to all my USA compatriots!

Cheers!
