LOVE this. If they made it in 41mm I would own it!

I love it in 39.. just cannot afford to buy it in Plat! Too bad for me 😀

If you can afford a 41mm Platinum GM you should contact Stephen Urquhart, I'm sure he will listen with interest.Go for it!

Ignore for a moment the horribly out-of-focus image of this GM and ask yourself "which model am I looking at?"

You could be forgiven for thinking it is the Steel-Yellow Gold-Blue Dial Globemaster, but of course there is currently no such model available. It is in fact the Steel-Tungsten Carbide model 130.33.39.21.03.001 illustrating yet another surprising colour change trick.

[emoji1] Hey @Longbow i use to do that ..i still do ! Unfasten the strap then put my watch on the weighing scale in the frozen food section at the local giant hypermarket[emoji12]

Wow[emoji15] Impressive ! i believe it's got to do with TC's metal matrix composite.Light bouncing of the fluted bezel creates an neat optical illusion

I guess it's another reason why TC is now widely used in the jewelry industry esp Men's Wedding rings huh..

The Globemasters are beautifully executed. I'm not currently a huge fan of the annual calendar, but the Globemaster is perfect for me.

Seems like nobody is...

I wasn't really sure where to post this, either here or under the Shark mesh thread; but since the photo series tries to capture the blue dial colour changes I thought it more relevant to this thread.

As a research & development engineer I'm always playing around with new ideas and I was curious to know how the Globemaster would look on shark mesh. That might seem like a crime for a brand new dressy watch, but curiosity got the better of me and I have to say I was surprised how much I liked the end result. The first day I wore this combo in the office one of my "died in the wool" Rolex Sub fan colleagues spotted it, insisted on trying it and then spent much of the day drooling over it.

The Globemaster has often been likened to a Rolex DateJust, since both have similar looks and work well with a range of strap colours, quality and bracelet types. But I have never seen a DJ pull off the shark mesh combination, (just Milanese). So here goes:-

Hi English @Longbow

You're have an inquisitive mind & never afraid of trying out new ideas thus opening up a world of possibilities for the Omega forum readers !

My 1st reaction was Whoa that's Blasphemy!
i start thinking again ..you've just given the GB some Balls of Steel !

Yeah.. It's Sick-Nasty !

So you bought the Milanese 18 mm Shark Proof Mesh...

From this Guy...

Let us compare some SS Shark Mesh bracelets & see whether the GB lives Up to its Hype

The Black PVD coated Shark Mesh sure is Sweet

@Longbow Why must You put your Hand in your pocket ? Next time just give us the thumbs Up [emoji106] or the middle finger [emoji115]

Just Curious... Would a hairy wrist be a 'Meshy' problem?

That's Longbow's wrist

Even later to this particular party...what a great watch. Love the truly unique SS bracelet on the GM.

Racketballer · Aug 12, 2020

Another one new to the party, liking it more each day so far!

Bringing up an old thread cause I'm part of the Globemaster owners club now. Wanted another bracelet option and thought NTTD Milanese. But I hated how it abuptly ends with cylindrical endlinks. The Omega Shark Mesh was a better option and thank you for suggesting it! It almost reminds me of the BOR bracelets of the original Connie Pie Pans, especially the 7/9 row ones, and the ends flow much better into the shallow Globemaster lug radius.

Here's mine. Came just in time for holiday getaway...
