Marc Newson Video On Designing Watches And The End Of Ikepod
Marc Newson offers a rare interview discussing his career designing watches with Dezeen. In the video Newson offers some interesting details that many people might not be aware of. Newson started to design watches and clocks back in the 1980s. In the 1990s he started the watch brand Ikepod - which arguably helped set a lot of trends in both watch design and production. Newson does sort of credit himself as having started the "big watch" trend. True or not, it is charming to see him boast about it.I've talked to Ikepod about working with Marc during the last several years of their relationship. They expressed a trying relationship with Marc, describing him as being highly creative but difficult to work with, as well as demanding. Ikepod had a very successful first couple of years but the business of watches slowly eroded the relationship between the people running the brand and Newson. In the video he affirms that he officially severed ties with Ikepod about midway through 2012. You can

15305or owners/ro plot help - please help me
I purchased a rubber strap for the 15305OR and i'm having a hard time fitting the plots on the strap. They seem to be too long for it. I've tried a 39mm rubber and 41mm rubber with the same issue. Anyone know why this is happening? Attached is a photo

No AD
I like Omega watches and own a gold Deville on a leather strap for over 50 years. Recently I got the urge to buy another watch. I found out that my local jeweler had lost Omega several years ago. Omega had pulled out of all stores and open an Omega Boutique. I guess that it was a bad move because they have closed the boutique and now have no distribution in Western Washington state. Not being able to see and try on the watches I bought a Rolex instead. So what is going on with Omega? My Rolex AD who also use to be an Omega AD says they turned off many dealers with the way they pulled their line. They have no interest in selling Omega if they were asked to again.

Omega Strap
Looking for a strap for my Omega deep blue 166.073,it's at STS (swiss time services) atm which is the UK's vintage Omega service centre,would like a leather strap in keeping with it's age 70s,do Omega have a strap cataloge?I've tried looking but can't find one,and would I need to go though an AD to order a strap? I prefer to stay with Omega for the strap so any help in choosing a suitable strap would be good,oh and I guess they no longer sell the vintage buckles on the strap so that would have to be used? thanks
