Nice pics!

The GMT II still looks better, though!

Beautiful shots.

The text on the Rolex is really very detailed in comparison but the lume on the Omega is really something else.

Thank you..

The difference in the text detail (at this absurd magnification) is what I find interesting..

Although the waves on the Omega are an incredible feat....

What about the IWC Ingenieur?



It´s a great looking dial.



Even PacMan use them.



A closeup from the game.
