A new Speedmaster!
I stopped by the Omega boutique in L.A. last week...and got into a nice discussion of the Speedmaster Professional with the staff. I've been a fan of that watch since I was nine--back in early 1974, when my father bought one and explained its significance in the Apollo missions. The reason I was at the boutique was to pick up that very watch, now sporting a black leather strap, a change up from the original bracelet. The technician brought out a brand new Speedmaster. Not the Professional, but the 2012 reissue of the First Omega in Space. Slightly smaller. Lemania movement. Manual wind. Brown leather strap. Sapphire crystal, a nod to the present technology. I tried it on. Perfect fit! The Professional is just a little bit on the large size for me. Certainly wearable, but not ideal. This Speedmaster, though, seemed made for me!No discounts at a boutique, but they did sweeten the deal with a few incentives, including full service in my old Speedmaster Professional with no charge.

Vintage Conny crystal replacement 'problem'
I wish to replace the crystal on my CL168.016 conny and have purchased a genuine PZ5111 and Bregeut type crystal removal tool. How much pressure should I be using on the tool? It seems incredibly tight and am concerned about scratching the case! Should it actually be accessed via the back of the case after removing movement?Thanks in advance

Best deal you have got on the Black Bay?
Curious?

Debate about solid links #stretching #wrist
Hi everyone,I recently purchased a brand new sub 116610LN. Anyone knows if wearing my bracelet tight on my wrist might stretch the links after couple of weeks, months, years?Not sure what is the best. Wearing the bracelet tight or with little space on wrist. Thanks for your comments.
