Another belated incoming - Promethues Jellyfish
I had enjoyed having my yellow Seiko SKXA35, but felt that a change was needed (you know how it is), and also wanted something a tad larger than the 42mm Seiko. I saw the pics of the Jellyfish and thought "that's it!". It comes with some great features for the cost and I have really enjoyed it so far. I'm looking forward to summer when I can really get some good beach/pool wear out of it.The first thing to note, of course, is the great yellow colour. Perfect for what I wanted it for, beach and pool summer wearing. I know some love the orange, but I really love the yellow watches (I will admit that I haven't tried an orange diver yet, something I will rectify someday.) The dial is nice and clean, without too much going in there. The bezel is uni-directional with 90 clicks and feels nice and precise. I'm not sure what you call the bezel edging, a coin edge? But it gives a good grip to the bezel and looks very functional on the watch.This is my first watch with tritium tubes and I have

need some help - vintage omega seamaster question
I have a chance to purchase this watch, but am having trouble identifying it, it looks like a ref 166.0088, but the case back shows 166.088. Also, I do not recall seeing Omegas from the early 1970s with a dive bezel but no depth rating on the dial.Should I run from this one?

Vacheron's new challenger to the 5711 / Nautilus..?
Dropped by my AD who couldn't wait to show off his latest delivery.. the brand new Vacheron Overseas ultra-thin. Have to say I'm very, very tempted.. White gold instead of steel. No date, no second hand. Pure simplicity. A few immediate impressions: I) You can definitely spot the white gold sparkle relative to SS. II) it feels ALOT heavier than the 5711.. given its gold perhaps I should not have been surprised, but it really stood out to me. III) the bracelet is gorgeous, but a lot wider & thicker than I expected vs both the 5711 and 15202. IV) the case didn't feel ultra thin; about as wide as the 5711 I was wearing today. Only issue.. It's 2x the price of the 5711. I'm sure that will put most in the Nautilus camp, though by the same token, that makes this Vacheron all the more exclusive and special when you see it out and about. Would be eager to hear what others think.. (will reply to this post with 2 other photos as for some reason my phone can only upload one at a time!)
