ROO 44mm FC - new strap!
I'm sure you're all tired of seeing Forged Carbon Offshores by now, but thought it was appropriate to show what it looks like with the best available OEM strap Seriously, they should've included the Grand Prix strap as the default strap for all FC 44mm pieces. Rubber just doesn't do it justice, especially with the dial's color scheme and red accents.

Need help with my Dad's watch
My dad had worn this gold Omega De Ville for as long as I can remember. The story goes that somebody bought watches for my parents for their wedding. My mom didn't like the buyer, so she gave hers away. I imagine this means it dates from the late 60's. I remember my dad winding this watch every morning before he went to work. A few years ago, he stopped wearing this and went to a Suunto, I think because he couldn't manipulate the crown anymore, and he wanted a watch that was easier to read.The original bracelet, while being super cool, doesn't fit me and is not adjustable. It also has a good amount of wear and I don't know how fragile it is. I'm not sure it's something that could be fixed at an Omega repair center, nor do I think I would want them to.Anybody have any info on the watch, like age, movement? Or any ideas of what I could do with it? I took the bracelet off, the lug width is 14 mm, there aren't a lot of strap choices at that width. To put this on a NATO would seem

Went Quartz
I was in a local pawn shop I frequent and the owner said, here's the deal of the day.... I've been looking for a water watch for when I go to SoCal and surf, board, boat, etc.... If this happens to come off the wrist hanging 10, I won't cry Oh, and it keeps perfect time 20140808_161427_resized.jpg20140808_165245_resized.jpg20140810_165255_resized.jpg

Video of how the 5175R is made
I can't say I like the 5175R and when I first saw it and read about it, I didn't think much of the watch, but after watching this, I've gained a whole new appreciation of it. Looking at a picture or video of it is one thing, but looking at how it gets made is an entirely different story...I didn't know how to directly link the video, but here's the website where I found it:sploid.gizmodo/seeing-the...949/+caseychanAnd boy do I not want the be the worker whose hand slipped and jacked up a case while doing the engravings!
