Although we wouldn��t have mind that Burberry added a plastic crystal
Furthermore, the stainless steel case has a diameter of 40mm which is perfect for most men (and women these days). Although we wouldn't have mind that Burberry added a plastic crystal on this watch, being all heritage and 1950s and all, there is a scratch resistant sapphire crystal on top of this Visodate. Perhaps even better, as a plastic crystal would scratch quite easily and that looks a bit silly on a dress watch.

Scratchy bracelet..ROO titanium
Hi Guys,Anyone else find that their titanium bracelet for the ROO to be sharp at the edges and scratch their wrist? Funny thing is there are no visible marks on my wrist, but at times it becomes annoying.It's a mute point because I bought an OEM AP rubber band/titanium plots/buckle. I will have it changed at the AP boutique in Bal Harbor in a few weeks.Happy Holiday

Anyone Disappointed by Nesbit's
Hello all. New member here.Has anyone been disappointed by Nesbit's in Seattle?I just received my SMP back from service and was a little disappointed by the refinishing. I know there's controversy over refinishing. To polish or not to polish, that is the question. I'm not talking about a vintage sword hand 300. This is a 2220.80 Co-Axial SMP.I live in the NE area and after reading several posts on different sites about the terrible service from Omega in NJ, and reading many good things about Nesbit's in WA, I decided to ship my SMP across the country.I cannot say enough about the customer service. Jan is wonderful! She took the time answers all of my emails and questions.I purchased the timepiece second hand and although it had a pedigree I questioned the authenticity of the date wheel. Nesbit's authenticated the date wheel, and they still replaced it at no additional cost. That my friends is customer service!Herein lies my issue. The refinishing or lack thereof was quite disappointing

Incoming Speedy Pro!
Had one a few years back and always regretted letting it go. I don't flip watches anymore, I just try to buy the right watch. I wanted to repurchase this iconic Speedy for at least a year and finally pulled the trigger after coming into some extra funds. I picked this up a few days ago thanks to a great transaction with our own DavidSW.I love the looks of this watch and its perfect for my casual style, yet also goes with anything except maybe a tux. I am looking for strap choices now. I do have an Omega black, perforated racing strap around here that I can't find, but I want to know what other strap choices I can go with. I prefer Omega, but am open to other strap makers. What is the millimeter for the strap? Is it 22mm or 20mm? I also have an Omega deployment buckle I can use too.
