Great and flawless transaction as usual.
Thanx for the fast replies Andrew.

Finally it reached me. As usual first one with ordering but last one receiving :lol:
I must admit I was worried since many people started to mention the lack of AR on the 45MM versions.
Yes the 42mm is stronger but there is just something with this crystal.
The crystal is crisp clear, different compared to other watches.
Yes there are reflections but I like it the way it is. No mods for me with this one.

The ETA is running butter smooth and keeps great time. The clasp works flawless and the 45mm fits my 7.4 inch wrist nicely.
Something I really appreciate about OMEGA is the mat finished dial on these versions. I prefer them above glossy ones like the PLOPROF.

I wear it now for 3 days non stop and think it will sit on my wrist for the upcoming weeks :)
The look though caseback is a nice feature and to me it looks close enough.

Well onto the pics shall we. I will add more pics later on, but due to being stuffed with work lately I could only shoot these.
I know no caseback shots but I will made one asap.

Cheers guys!

Very nice Mike, I think you are globally right the AR is not as dramatic as it looked in the QC pics.

I still decided to send mine to AR treatment to improve it a little, but I asked myself the question many times, I was not completely sure... !! Now new wait for the watch with a new AR... ;)

Thanks for the pics mike, looks great! Glad you finally got it!

Ye guys need to see it beside a 42mm though, there is a major difference . I wouldn't call the AR mismatches a fiasco, just a major mess up maybe :)

Although I have put a few scratches on the 42mm outer AR in the past week, no idea how and they seemed to happen from very light touches....so I'm beginning to wonder how durable the 42mm AR really is! Maybe better off with the 45mm! ;)

Anyway Mike wear it well, great pics!
