Early Chronomat bezel screws coming off
Hello all,This is my first posting.I very recently purchased an A13047 Chronomat and i love it.As I was cleaning the bezel, two of the small domed screws (not the rider tabs screws) came loose.I was not able to put them back in pace, since they do not have a real thread.These appears to be different from the other Chronomat bezel screws I have seen in pictures.Can anyone tell me how these screws are secured to the bezel?Cheers from California.
Is it just me?
Or does Omega just make some of the coolest, most competent, elegant, durable, sylish, timeless, interesting, underrated and unassuming watches in the world?I've had a Seamaster PO 42mm for the last 5 years and it's been my go-to watch for tough weekend work. It has withstood the beating, kept great time, looks cooler than snot, is incredibly comfortable and continues to look like new (with just a healthy bit of patina). I also really enjoy the Speedy's and am sure one will find its way into my watch cabinet at some point as well. Might even be one of the new 9300 Speedy's!!...So I know we're in the Rolex Forums here, and that most of us own and enjoy Rolexes (and other fine watches), but I find the appeal of the Omega brand and its watches to be stronger than ever. Anyone agree?
