Just got this new dial installed on my Omega SMP. 2230.50 "Non AC" dial.
I'm not sure if I mentioned yet but I love that wave pattern!

Thanks A.L. It's a great, great watch. Almost traded it recently before the dial upgrade and now I'm glad that I didn't.

Dug out the old Omega Ranchero, an uncommon watch. Caliber 267 from Omega's outstanding 30mm family of movements of the 1950s. CK 2990 case.
Stunning! I wish that look wasn't so popular right now. A vintage Omega for less than $1k is quickly becoming a myth.

How do you like that watch, Cypress? Is it a good watch?
I'm trying to get back into wearing watches.....if I get beyond Timex and Casio digitals, I'm clueless. Got a lot of data in this thread to research and digest!

It's definitely not a small watch. I've owned this one for almost 10 years, and have replaced the battery 4 times. The strap isn't what I would call "comfortable" out of the box, but a pan of boiling water to form the rubber takes care of that pretty quickly. The crystal scratches, but it's recessed into the case a bit. I'm not sure if they make a sapphire version, but if they did, go for that one. I'm also not a gigantic fan of the black face, so I run my Ambit 2 with the positive face (it can toggle between +/-, the Core can't).

Citizen 7 NH8250-53Y, Hirsch Duke strap
I posted this a year ago, but my photographic skills have improved. Iridescent brown dials are hard to photograph.
From the last generation of Citizen's cheap automatic watches. Rakuten dealers are still selling this for ¥6,000 ($50). Strangely enough, that's exactly what I paid a Chicago pawn shop!

Thanks! Me too, it's my favorite of all the styles including the current one. This is actually what I wear most every day. I used to be an auto snob, but I gained a real appreciation for super quartz movements on a plane flight a few years ago. Sat next to a scientist that was an expert in the field of quartz regulation technology and he spent two hours talking to me about the physics of the movements. It was fascinating, really. This is a great all around watch, and super easy to flip between time zones when traveling.
