I have "a thing" for mechanical watches, owning both an Omega Seamaster and a
Rolex white dial Explorer 11 38mm. I find that my everyday Omega is much easier
to read without glasses. In the middle of the night I can make out the luminous
hands.
Without my glasses on I find some difficulty with the Explorer dial especially
when the hands are towards the three o clock position. I find that the date
lens confuses the issue and personally would prefer the crystal without this
date lens. I am considering removing this lens.My watches are not pampered and
are worn 24/7, fishing,shooting,caving,working on cars etc. Recently I lost my
Seamaster in a bucket of flooring tile cement when a bracelet pin came adrift.
quick wash in a sink, replacement pin, and watch was as good as new.
Both watches keep excellent time and are totally reliable.

Subject: Re: [OM] what does my eye spy...
have to disagree I wear mine everyday and for all things such as working
on the car etc and after 20 years it still looks like new (well okay it
has just been serviced) you can't do that with a Vintage patek philippe
while it may not be cool to diss its a tough watch and I am very happy
wearing mine, to my mind its like the leica of watches built to last but
as for sensor quality how do you compare time is time after all ;-)
