Someone accidentally inserted the date wheel the wrong way up and presto!

No it's not, it's just a right handed one, upside down

I'm liking the new colourful Sinn 556, yes they may be jumping on the latest trend for watch faces in bright colours but who cares.

That orange is corking’ 8-)

Although whenever I think about strong colour dials, I think of the awesome enamel faces on Anordain watches….

Just found an Omega Seamaster in my dad's things. Will have to get that valued as it's too small for me.

i saw a video earlier where a guy put the watch back into its box (but didn't push it right down in), and the cardboard lid scratched the crap out of the "glass".

By the sound of it, they're too delicate to use.

None of the reviews I've seen/read make it sound like it's actually worth anywhere near £200

I know it's not the same thing, but you can probably get a much better, metal + sapphire crystal job off AliExpress from some Chinese brand for about £50 (if all you want is the look and feel of a Speedy)

Latest info:

There are no plans for the collection to be sold online currently, just Edinburgh and the 2 central London Stores - Oxford St and Covent Garden and these stores are getting a restock each week.

Keep an eye on the website/social media, and it's not a limited collection so more stock is coming

I've heard that those Swatch/Omegas are cheaply made, but that's awful

I LOL at anyone who paid a crazy amount for one on the used market...

It's just hype (yet again)

I get the attraction. A nice looking Omega for a few hundred quid. It's just a shame they didn't spend another £50 and upgrade the glass to something that can actually cope with normal light use.
