Just in, a watch I was after for quite a long time, but never pulled the trigger for… well no logical reason 




Now I’m very pleased I did… except the need for a TA is more vivid than ever ! biggrin


Nice

. . . with us, Ludi!  And for those who don't speak Omega, 'FA' stands for 'Fat Arrow' and 'TA' stands for 'Thin Arrow'.

Here's a photo of Roger's . . . 






. . . for comparison.

Small confusion here …

… dear DrNo wink 

 The watch you pictured is an Omega WWW CK2444 Below is the CK2777-1 Thin Arrow (along with a lovely CK2914 and a MoD dial Fat Arrow)



(From internet)

Hmmm, what a brochette!

. . . for illustrative purposes as that's the only TA photo in my archives.  

I believe Edward L has both refs as well.

Hopefully he'll chime in with his RAF collection.

Speaking of WWW, I have the MoD dial variant…

… a lovely watch - with character too


Even if I do like the standard version of course (yet with MoD hands)



The first one!!!

Never mind about the dials! Show us the backs! The BACKS! That's where the information is. :-)

" UK government property, not yours ! Thank you for dropping this item to the nearest MoD facility… or else ! "

 Weird ;-)
