According to Omega Bienne, my watch shipped out the 28th, so I should see it back in my hands sometime next week! I can't wait to have it back!!!  |

Congrats John! I know you are excited to get it home and on your wrist. Was it out for a regular service? I tried on a blue dial AT last week. At the time I liked it, but it did not blow me away; however, I find myself drawn back and thinking about getting it often. Sounds like it may the next purchase. Have a good weekend.  Luke Mayes |

It was running a tad slow too, so I asked the technicians to speed it up just a hair - I'd rather see run fast than slow. I figured as long as I was sending it, why not?  John |

Nothing wrong per se, but it was running slow....in the last couple of weeks I had noticed it was running slower than COSC parameters. I was already sending my Broad Arrow in to Omega because I wanted to sell it, and I wanted Omega to verify the movement was the "corrected" version. The AT bascially hitched a ride and I let them check it out as well. John |

selling your BA WHY MAN WHY? ?? Me too. I thought the BA was a Speedy variant I could embrace (I don't care much for the Speedmaster Professional personally). Great watch no question....but it was getting zero wrist time....I think in the end the cream dial just didn't excite me. If I didn't have the white dial Explorer II, I'd probably have a stronger bonding to the BA. I'm hoping they keep coming out with different variations....maybe I'll find one I like....some day...

Sorry buddy...it's sold already.  You can see pictures on the wallpaper page of The Seamaster Reference Page. I suspect the new owner will post pictures of his own here. John |

I know he's been wanting a BA for some time now A good guess but sorry, no. Out of courtesy to the buyer, I'll let him identify himself if he chooses to do so.  John |

I know he's been wanting a BA for some time now Nope, not me... although it won't be much longer before I buy one. I think I may go the route of the Legend though... still deciding. |
