INCOMING Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial
Hey guys (and gals),It has been a while (nearly two years) since I added a new watch to my collection. Having just achieved a large goal, my wife suggested that I buy a new watch to celebrate, so I headed down to the boutique and surveyed my options. I focused my search on finding a simple, symmetrical diver (with NO date complication). I checked out the usual suspects, i.e., 114060, Pelagos (Blue) and the Tudor BB.I have always enjoyed my Speedmaster Pro, so I decided to wander from the Rolex display over to the adjoining Omega Boutique and that is when I first laid eyes on the 300MC. The moment I slipped this watch on my wrist, my decision was made.The perfect symmetry, the PCLs, the slight patina on the lume, the domed crystal, the beautiful Liquid Metal bezel, the 60-hour power reserve, the matte dial...everything was perfectly executed...this was exactly the watch I was looking for! Most importantly, Omega finally added a micro-adjustment mechanism to the clasp. For a person who h

Speedy c321 chrono reset button question
When I push the reset button on the chrono it resets correctly with a click of the reset button. If I push the reset button again, even thought the chrono has been reset, the reset button clicks again. On my other chronos, a second push of the reset button results in a soft, no click motion. Question: On the Speedy Pro c321, is it normal for the reset button to click even though the chrono has already been reset?Thanks

Seamaster GMT 2535.80 Bezel
I am looking to replace the bezel of my blue seamaster gmt, but am not sure how to get it off and do not want to spend a fortune to replace it. If anyone has one they would like to sell or knows where to buy one at a good price I would appreciate it. Also, if anyone could provide directions or a method to remove the bezel that would be great. Thanks!!

Tudor Prince Date Chrono Leather Strap Thickness?
For those of you with the Tudor Price Date Chrono (model 79260 and it's bezel variants) with the leather strap endlinks...........what's the thickest strap you have been able to fit at the lugs without the endlinks getting in the way?The factory tudor leather strap is quite thin where the springbar holes are in the strap, and then it gets thicker. Most aftermarket straps are quite thick at the springbar holes (most Hirsch straps are 4mm to 4.5mm) and I'm curious if they fit.I had a Tudor Hydronaut rubber strap and tried to install it on my Tudor chrono but the strap was too thick to fit. Unfortunately, I sold the strap without measuring it so I can't even use that measurement as a baseline.Thanksjames
