Vintage watches and the times
This thread may be more for those of us who actually remember when the "normal size" for a wristwatch was 38mm and under but some of the younger guys may appreciate it also.(BTW the average size was 38mm less than 10 years ago!)I own many loved watches that are well over 38mm and one in particular is one of my grails.(Omega PO at 45.5mm)I actually have nothing at all against watches of the XL variety and in many cases they would look funny if they were smaller because ,these days,they are designed to be BIG.One thing that bothers me is when the manufacturer puts a "normal" movement in a BIG case,esp a chrono movement.I recently saw a new Luminox model like this and it looked great,yet upon closer inspection,the subdials are "lost" in the dial due to the fact that although the case is 46mm the movement-and thus the placement of the subdials-are not asthetically compatible. The subdials are way too close to the center of the dial and there is no symmetry.Same with some automatic movement

Why 2 sizes of the Planet Ocean?
42mm and 45.5mm? Seems to me there is not that much difference? They even both have the 8500 movement in it?I don't see the need.Can someone explain. Does omega have an excess of 42mm cases that they are using up or something?

Speedy Pro Question - Counting Hand Skipping when using Chronograph?
Greeting to fellow Speedy Pro owners!I observed a weird behavior on my Speedy Pro when the chronograph is used. The counting hand seems to skip a second or two every so often. In other words, the counting hand would stay at a particular second marker for two seconds, skip the next marker and jump directly to the one after that. Is it normal for a Speedy Pro?
