She's back from the spa...
After the off and on problem with my 44mm stopping intermittently, I sent it to Clearwater after their new year break for service. The chrono module was replaced as that's what was causing it to stop. I opted for the light polish, and she came back this afternoon good as new.

Swiss & German get together
And both tuned to perfection Few quick checks & we're ready to go

Seamaster Cosmic 166.036 Bracelet Options
Recently picked up this nifty Omega Seamaster Cosmic, reference 166.036.Seeking suggestions for a Bracelet upgrade. First option:The bracelet it sits on now is comfortable, but I would like to find some curved end links to better fit against the watch head. Brand name is Maruman. Any ideas?Another option would be a replacement bracelet. For this I would rather pick up a new aftermarket bracelet rather than trying to source an original.All suggestions welcome.Thank you in advance!

Speedy Pro "Tintin" has arrived...
Hey all,Well, despite the lack of love for the Speedy Pro Racing dial known as the Tintin, I've been hooked on it since it was announced. I first saw it in London about a year ago but held off due to other recent buys. Well, the fire was stoked again recently...even more so when I found it was already out of production. When I started to re-research it, I found very little info likely due to the ugly reviews...including some on here. Well, the dial sung to me and I had a real hunch that it would play well on a NATO. I really dislike the Speedy Pro bracelet and feel it draws one's eyes away from this pretty, painted dial. I've had her on my wrist for 4 days straight since arrival!Look for her on fratellowatches this coming week as my new piece will be featured. Enjoy some pics...maybe they'll change your mind a little. :)MikeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Today I got the call and was excited to pick this up right before Christmas. Sourcing this was much easier than expected and took just under one week from request to delivery. I had mentioned to my AD a few months ago that I would like one whenever they got one in, but I was buying a Christmas present for my wife this past Thursday in the store and said that I wanted it for sure. Since one hadn't come into the store, I asked if they could source it for me. I went home, and 3 hours later I got a call to say one would be delivered the following week. I was surprised when it arrived today to have my information already printed on the certificate of origin as I have never had one done that way before but it was a nice touch. The watch is just stunning. Its way heaver that I thought it would be (in a good way) and it's also thinner than expected (also in a good way). First impressions are that it's a keeper for sure and I think it's going to be my favorite watch. It is now for sure,
