New Watch!! IWC Big Pilot homage
Hey everyone,I just received my new 46mm Parnis pilot watch, which is an IWC Big Pilot homage model. I really wasn't looking for the watch, but instead just a type of strap this watch had. I've been wanting to get a IWC Big Pilot-style strap (that has the taper-down sides) & deployant but was having a very hard time finding a quality strap matching that style. I ran across this watch, which was priced less than many of the straps alone I'd seen. So the way I looked at it I got a free watch with my strap & deployant purchase. :D And as I've always liked the IWC Big-Pilot but haven't been able to justify the cost not knowing if I'd like the style for long-term it gives me a great way to test-drive an Big-Pilot style The watch is surprisingly nice. The strap & deployant is exactly what I was looking for, so I'm already happy even if the watch itself breaks tomorrow. I believe the watch is Chinese & uses a Japanese movement. But from all external points it seems to b

Definitely RG!
Was just wondering if i should get the 44mm ROO SS or RG.. Please comment price/value/appearance/rareness! And oh.. pictures please

Why Haven't I Seen This in Ad's Before?
I saw this posted here on TrF actually and I was wondering why I'd never seen it in an AD.I have to admit, its been a while since an Omega has really jumped out at me but this one looks great!Has anyone seen one of these in person? And why aren't they in any of the ADs i've seen?

Illuminating dial markers/hands
Hello all,Just to share a piece of info I picked up along the way and invite any similar experiences.I recently found out that if your hour markers/hands on your omega are becoming dull or almost non existent you can apparently re-charge them by shining a bright light into the face for a few seconds.I have tried with a bright torch (only thing I could think of to do the job) which did brighten the dials up a bit but did not seem to make any permanent improvement.Has anyone else got any experience or similar tips ?As always feedback greatly appreciated.Paul

My new Connie!
I have always wanted a high precision quartz watch and they don't come much higher than this ( most owners quote real world timing to be somewhere between +5/10 seconds a year and the lower figure being the norm!Thermocompensated and acknowledged to be one of the finest quartz movements ever made...And now it is mine!My AD gave me an offer I simply could not refuse and this watch is stunning in every way and shape, the finish is one of the finest I have seen in a watch, Omega have really pulled the stops out with this one, it is a shame ETA have now discontinued the movement.So here ladies and gentlemen is my Omega constellation double eagle perpetual calendar (what a mouthfull!)In one of the pictures it appears the second hand does not hit the marker, that is an optical illusion as it hits the marker with absolute precision!
