    Any of these in your collection Roy? Ebay is full of them, it looks like folk may have been buying them up, hoping to turn a profit. All the planets are covered, plus the sun and the moon, but it's the Uranus one that appeals to the schoolboy in me Oh God let me rephrase that - appeals to my schoolboy mindset

    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    They didn’t really appeal to me and were very difficult to get hold of anyway.

    I thought they kind of devalued the Omega brand being nothing more than glorified Swatches and turned out not to be that well made, especially the one from Uranus.

    Is it tradition in watches/clocks that Roman numerals face to the centre while Arabic are upright? That bothers me more than the mix of types, at least they logically alternate.

    I agree. What were Omega thinking?

    Omega’s part of the Swatch group. I’ll take this opportunity to put a pic of a propa Omega up.

    looks okay from a distance I thought but it's obviously tat.

    I still want that Breitling with the diamonds. Found it £600 cheaper but still too much. Can't find a used one for sale at all.
