Omega Seamaster Professional is for me
2 of 2 found this helpful I have been a fan of fine watches for the past 60 years. I have owned many, including Rolex, Omega, Mido, Movado, Bulova Acutron, Tag Heuer and the list goes on. Recently, I bought an Omega Speedmaster Triple Date. This was/is a autowind watch that requires more arm movement than I was giving it so I had to resort to a watch-winder to keep it going. It is a lovely dress watch but not suitable for a person of my years and level of activity. The dial is silver, as are the hands. Given the lack of contrast and the very small characters involved, I needed a bright light to easily read the date and time. Furthermore, the lumin of the hands and hour markers were not readily visible to me at night. However, I truly love the watch - it is a beauty and a marvel of engineering and design -it just isn't right for me. I also have a beautiful Tag Heuer Link Calibre 16 (autowind) that tends to slow down, then stop due to my lack of arm motion after a few days...
This Omega Seamaster Professional solves my problems. It is attractive, It is quartz-driven, like several of the other watches in my collection, so there is no issue with arm motion and the lumin on the hands and dial are easy to see in the daylight or dark. I do miss the chronograph feature that is on several of my other watches, but I'll live. It keeps as perfect time as any chronometer.

Replacement 52MM Collapsible Lens Hood
This lens hood is a good value. It is not an exact replica of the Nikon collapsible hood but it is serviceable and does tend to protect the lens and/or filter from harm.

Sun Shade for RolleiWide Camera Bayonet IV
This is a modern production sun shade, intended for the Rolleiflex FX. However it is equally suited for the original Rolleiwide cameras. A second-hand original sunshade (1960) may cost as much as $300 or more. This one may not be an absolute duplicate of the original but I personally see no difference.
