Congrats! Yes, I've noticed it in the daily post:cool:Thanks!
I thought that you might have it since a while: It show at once that it's the old model... Great that you have the 2 to compare! Do you notice some positives improvements in the new model or is there anything that you regret that Omega didn't follow up after the 70's model?
There's holes in the lugs of the old one but not in the new: Is it spring-bars?
I thought that on the new model, the pins of the spring-bars could be a weak point as they can't come deep in the lugs, due to the absence of holes.
In my opinion, it should have been screw-bars: What do you think Graham? Also, describe the bezel-click feeling difference please;)
There are indeed lug holes on the 600.
The 1200 don't have them, but have very thick and strong springbars. Not easy to remove, I might add!
The operation of the bezel is fantastic on both watches. The clicks are dampened on both, and very positive. Of course the locking system is foolproof. The button on the 600 is plastic, and on the 1200 it is anodized aluminum.
The 600 can only be opened from the bezel side, while the 1200 has a conventional caseback.
I'll give more feedback if and when I have more to remark on.
