Omega Speedmaster: The Electronic Age
Yes, there were electronic Speedmasters. And there still are today, but we'll get to that in a few minutes. But it seems like heresy, doesn't it? A watch with ��Speedmaster,' even ��Speedmaster Professional' on the dial while inside beats an electronic heart! And yet, we know from their pursuit of timing excellence (through their work in Olympic competition, among other things) that Omega has always looked for ways to innovate and thus improve.In the 1970s, the Speedmaster was not immune. And indeed, one would have expected as much, given the recent advances Omega had made in Olympic timing, and with the quartz crisis in full swing. While the Speedmaster Professional hand wound Moon Watch and it's mechanical brethren never went out of production, the Speedy also saw unique developments in electronic movements.When we talk about Speedmasters of the electronic age, we're really talking about four calibres and a closely related variation: the 1255, the 1620, the 1660, and the 1666.

Does anyone make a Deployant clasp for Panerai that doesn't suck?
I hate my PAM 104 deployant clasp. It's curved so great it digs into my wrist. I bought a Panerai brand normal non-deployant buckle and a couple straps, but now I can't wear the old straps since the deployant buckle is terrible and straps aren't cross compatible. Should I write off the old straps and buy all new ones? And also, where would I find replacement screws? I haven't lost any yet, but as tiny as they are I'm afraid I'll strip or lose one.

PAM buckle or clasp?
Hi PAM people!I have a PAM 328 now mounted on a OEM brown aligator strap. I dont mind changing strap, but sometimes to change de buckle can be a pain.I am thinking to buy a new buckle, or a couple. Now the questions, for the OEM straps, can I put a deployant clasp on it? I know some others are thicker. If so, do you recommend it to avoid punishing the strap less? And if so, which one to get? The PAM one is quie expensive, any good ones?If you recommend the buckle, where can I get it? Best,Guillermo

Is there a "correct" way?
I've always used my watches over the wrist bone, last week an AD manager told me I've been wearing wrong it should be behind the wrist bone. Feels very strange this way, so I'm wondering, is there a correct way to wear your watch?Over Wrist BoneBehind Wrist BoneHow do you wear yours?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What would you choose as your daily? 2 options
I just acquired a 16570 L serial (birth year) with beautiful patina.Until then the 16600 was my daily wearer, every day all day. Between the two, which would you give more wrist time to?I was thinking of making the 16570 my daily so the 16600 stays in relatively good shape. But I'm scared that because of its age and patina it may not be as robust?Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
