Now that is rather nice:

It is nice - I do find it interesting omega’s shots hide the second hand counterbalance however. It could be a bit like those old Olympic ones where you had the rings floating around the dial all the time. Not everyone was onboard with that sort of thing.

One you’d need to see in person and operational before buying I think.

I get this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but Tissot’s Thailand feed just dropped this:

Finally a PRX I can get behind. That is proper cool and being Tissot it will be dirt cheap too!

Their Sideral, with carbon case and rubber bracelet, is reasonably priced so sounds promising.

Should I have this dive watch serviced? Local shops in Houston don’t want to fool with it.
Thanks.

Given the age of the watch, probably not a bad idea. Take a look at sending it here: https://www.tag1000diver.com/ , since he has a good reputation (no personal experience, though).

As much as I like the Ben PRX in carbon, the ice blue 35mm would probably be my choice

Too bad this one doesnt exist as an automatic (I want my watches to have a soul). That blingy ice blue dial but in pink would be totally boner.

50% boost in price and no carbon bracelet to match the nice shiny steel one. I think that’s a step too far.

The ice blue is my favourite too, but in the larger size. Have almost bought it a few times this year, but trying to be good. There’s a couple of fade type new ones that look cool too.

Yes a 270 dolla price premium is crazy money huh

IMHO, you just have to give it a month or two

It’s like an X-33 Seamaster.

Have to say I would prefer something more like this one!

I agree on both counts. Cool to see brands trying something new though.
