Reactor Releases Top-Selling Gamma in Titanium
Southern California-based Reactor is introducing their top-selling Gamma watch in titanium. The original Gamma, introduced in 2008, quickly became the brand’s #1 seller. The new titanium version weighs 50% less than the stainless steel model yet features the same 45.5mm case and 300 meter depth rating. The new titanium model also offers Reactor’s exclusive, patent-pending Never Dark illumination, which allows viewing in any light for over 12 years. Never-Dark is a proprietary lighting system that combines intensely bright Swiss Superluminova with long-lasting tritium gas-filled tubes. The Gamma Ti’s K-1 crystal has 4 layers of anti-glare coating to make it easier to read under water. The watch also has a unidirectional timing bezel and a day/date movement with 10-year power cell. Like all Reactors, Gamma Ti features a triple o-ring screw-down crown system for added water resistance, and a secure screw bar case-to-band interface.The Gamma Ti will ship in early March wi

Your perspective on Omega
With an increasing number of new members in OMEGALand I was wondering about the reasons which brought you to the brand.What moves you in the direction of Omega? I must say I had some help to begin with since my father has always loved Omega. His tastes lean more towards Constellations than Seamasters and bought me my first Omega - a gold Connie for my graduation. When I " lost " it and finally looked to replace it some years later I suppose it was only natural that I considered another Omega. Indeed the first Omega I ever purchased was a TT Constellation, the 1202.30. To this day I find that hallmark patterned Guilloché dial an impressive sight to behold.Picture - omegawatches

Congrats Paul!
Well the AP bug has bitten, and it's getting ugly . First the Diver this week, and now another AP just ordered from my AD--just got off the phone. May not be what people are thinking from my earlier inquiry today.Here's a clue :In the BLACK THEMES of the night, the NAVY went on a PANDA SAFARI. They ran into a VOLCANO and noticed a lot of BEES hovering around something that looked like a RUBBER CLAD substance--no, it was more like a CARBON substance. With that they ran back to their boat not even noticing the SKELETON they just passed. Now the 'bad news'. Quote from AD AP Distribution in NYC does not have in stock so they are waiting on a shipment from Switzerland and it will be two weeks. But, I am willing to wait (oh man this is going to try my patience) for one so FRESH. 1 week, 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes left PS - Normally I would never post this early, but I can't contain myself--AP is dangerous :-)

Po'mans Daytona Panda?
Omega Speedmaster Date 323.32.40.40.04.001I thing this one looks great! I'd love to see it in person.And the fact that you can pick one up for less than $2,800 makes it really interesting IMO.

I think I¡¯m done for a while - behold, the magnificent 5990
¡°I am pleased to announce the imminent arrival of our bouncing badass baby brother.¡±Not much to say - have been waiting for this baby 3 years, and am very happy and grateful to be able to welcome it into my collection. Picked it up from the London Salon for a really great price (worth mentioning - shopping experience in the salon is second to none. Got a bunch of freebies without asking, including the newest travel case with actual wood panelling on the side, and Patek umbrella, gloves and tie)Perfect watch in every way for me, everything that I expected it to be. Strikes the precise balance between class/luxury and sporty/casual. Really worries I won¡¯t wear the rest of my collection now.Enough talking - on to the pictures.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
