Watch Experts Network: ‘��Authentic�� NASA velcro strap �C Speedy Tuesday meets Strap Review’
If you start to explore the world of Speedmasters and Omega in general one name you will come across is the late and great Chuck Maddox. Many things we know today are results of his thorough research, which is still a reference point for a lot of topics. Let that be a Speedy Pro, a vintage Heuer or vintage chronograph in general; he had his hands in everything. And boy was he ingenious. So ingenious that his works inspired a lot of people to start their own research, buy their first watch, or like the subject of this article, make their own authentic NASA Velcro strap.As Phil (or Kizzi known by members on watch forums and eBay) a veteran Speedy wearer for 40 years puts it: ��always thought it would be cool to have a watchband linked to Apollo to go with the watch, but the ones available never looked like flown ones sold at auctions or from the NASA image archive, and that always puzzled me.

Waterproofing capability with an unscrewed crown (ROO)
Hi guys,Appreciate some opinion here. Earlier today, I went swimming with my ROO on and crown unlocked! Just swimming at the surface, no more than 1m and for only about 10 minutes. It did not appear that there was any water ingress to the naked eye after considerable squinting. Also placed the watch in the fridge face down, to lower the case temperature as I was thinking if there was gonna be any condensation, I should see it. Nothing turned up either. My question is: With the crown not screwed down, is there a basic level of water ingress protection built in? I was googling earlier and understand that Rolex has this protective device though not officially acknowledged. Any of you guys have similar experiences to share or perhaps know the insides of the watch well enough? If it helps, its a F series Black Themes.Thanks for reading.

My Omega collection is growing. Just picked this beauty up today! Feels great on the wrist although I must confess it will take a few days to deprogram from wearing the massive Planet ocean chrono the last month. Bought preowned from a great seller. Here's the required pics!
