I'd be up for a pair of them, but I wear prescription glasses, so I guess that would cause a bit of a problem?Quote:

No you can get prescription lenses for them and you have the choice of glass or polycarbonate and a few colours as well.Quote:

Back in about 1971 I bought an Omega Speedmaster Mk II from Hong Kong. (It was faulty when it got here to Oz so had to send it back to HKG for repair.)
I wore it for some years then gave it to my grandfather as I just wasn't wearing it anymore (I'd replaced it with a Seiko in 1980 which I bought on Norfolk Island and which I still have). After my grandfather died, I received it back and eventually sold it.

My daily watch is a Casio watch I bought in 1990 when I was scuba diving in Norfolk Island. My dress watch is a Seiko Solar my wife bought for me in SFO a couple of years back - half the price of here in Oz.

I have this watch that my wife bought in the late 80s because I saw it in the shop window and said I liked it but I haven't worn it for years as my wrist is fatter and I can't find the links I had removed. It was good 'cos I could leave the digital section on UTC and the analogue on Sydney time - great for log keeping.
Like this but the watch is a khaki lacquer with gold trim;

I have an Omega gold watch I've never worn. I received it from my employer for 30 years service. The reason I've never worn it is that the back was engraved with Telstra's name, not my original employer, OTC, who were merged with Telstra. I disliked Telstra that much. I had to get it out of the safe, I had no idea what it looked like any more. I spoke with a watchmaker who said he can fill in the Telstra engraving and re-engrave it.
Omega De Ville Jubilee like this but with a gold band:

Here is my fav of all my watches. It is mint the marks are dust and smudges I did not clean it before the pics, it is my Squale 1000m diving watch it is the only 1,000m watch without a helium valve, I love the orange, I almost went for the one with the orange face too, but in the end I thought it would have been too much.
