    I think it is versatile enough to be a dress watch, and worn with jeans on a weekend.

    I envy the thoughtful process you took to get where you are at with your collection. I have the attention span of a squirrel and my collection reflects that. A lot of nuts but few treasures.

    Man, the SuperOcean Heritage in that color is fantastic. No mechanical chronographs?

    No chronographs yet, but my current wish list as mentioned earlier has an Omega Grey side of the Moon competing with the Geophysic for top spot. When I have been watch shopping before I have often found difficulty reading the sub dials without reaching for my reading glasses.
    Somewhere in my top 5 wish list is still a Habring 3 and if the Euro keeps weakening to the $ that is looking more attractive. The trouble is that is a big wedge of cash to commit with almost no chance of seeing one in the flesh first.

    A bit more blue close up for you.

    That's fantastic. Beautiful dial, great photo. Macro lens?

    Yes, an old Canon D20 with a 100mm macro lens and a ring flash, only used for teeth and watches!
    I generally post the pictures just as they are but can crop and zoom on the computer but that generally just shows I am not a very good photographer.
