I got the vulcan ani-digi and it just arrived yesterday. I also have the Subaqua Noma III ani-digi. It's the only vulcan and the only SANIII that I have and I love them both.

I really love the vulcan, and it may be because it's my first vulcan. Anyway, I'm glad I got them. The SANIII is a little heavy, and I hope to get one of their rubber straps for it. :c

I hope to learn how to post pictures on here and I'll show them to you.

none of these use the omega movement.Where did that come from?the omega is a 1660 caliber, highly jeweled and finished movement. none of those has the dial layout to support that movement.Also, that movement costs more than any invicta or renato

It's an ETA E20.321.

TAG uses it in the CAF1010.BA0821 TAG HEUER Aquaracer Chronotimer Mens Watch

Accutron has it in the Telluride 26C07 Multi-function

Here's what I found on the Omega X-33 and the earlier Seamaster multifunction. It appears to have used a modified version of the ETA E20.321 (the X-33 doesn't):

The X-33 features the in-house developed and unique to Omega 9-jewel quartz crystal controlled calibre 1666 movement, manufactured by Swatch Group cousin ETA (ETA designation E20.321). The movement was designed especially for the X-33 and has never been used in any other model despite continuing contentions to the contrary. Though various brands like Breitling, Bell & Ross and others have used ETA-made multifunction movements similar to those in the earlier Seamaster Multifunction, the 4-pusher cal.1666 and its unique digital display layout and half-step minute hand remain exclusive to the Omega X-33. The cal. 1666 is a non-thermocompensated movement. In a temperature compensated movement, the frequency of oscillation (pulses per second in this case) stays practically the same at whatever temperature the quartz crystal is subjected to [within limits]. A typical watch crystal tends to operate at 32,768Hz with a frequency period of 30.52uS, however regular watch crystals will dedward wrote: [/b]

Congrats on BOTH, Suz! Enjoy 'em.

I still think the ETA E20.321 makes the SANIII, with only 250 made, one of the "safer-bets" (value-wise) in the current Invicta line up, but I bought a Reserve Lupah, so what do I know, LOL.

Personally I love AniDigi's when the watches are done with style. I had to add the Mostro Silver with Black Dial just to get a Silver Mostro. I love the look of the dial but I think the watch is worthless as an AniDigi. The windows are too small to see what's in them. Even with the light on.

These watches are quite practical and when their designed right and actually readable it is very nice to be able to tell the time if your in complete darkness.

I really like my TAG Chronotimer. Top quality build and bracelet. Sapphire crystal. 300 meter water resistance without needing a screw down crown. Every function I ever need (and more). Eventually I want to get a black one too. To each his own.

I love my Renato AniDgi. You cannot beat the price I paid ($174.00) with the interchangeable bands. I do believe though it is the bands that attracted me first. I wear the rubber for play and shift to the bracelet for everything else. It really is 2 watches in one. I do receive more comments on this watch (almost all favorable) then my 2 tone Rolex Sub.

I'd definitely love to have one of these AniDigi's and perhaps even one of the SAN III AniDigi's.
