Old Colt Auto questions
hi guys, I'm new to this forum, so apologize if i am repeating old questions.I have a Colt Auto, circa 1993 that I wear daily. It came with a stainless professional series bracelet, which I ditched in favor of the rubber dive strap ages ago. First question, the crystal is mineral, and have had it replaced several times. Is a Sapphire crystal available for replacement (I noticed ads for parablic ones for rolex). 2) the pins rattled out of the professional bracelet when I was mountain biking a decade ago, I still have the parts. a) can this be repaired, and by whom? b) did anyone else have this problem with Breitling Bracelets?thanks, jimRolex oyster dateBreitling Colt Auto

2015 Class Photo
Since I have recently refocused my collecting efforts on vintage Omega, I wanted to share this year's class photo. The only watch I already had in my collection prior to 2015 was the jumbo bumper Seamaster that I got in 1987 at an estate auction when I was 7.

Seamaster PO Fit Question
Hey folks,I headed to my local AD today to check out a few OMEGA models. The Seasmaster PO is quite a substantial timepiece. I'm a little concerned that it may not fit nicely inside a dress shirt cuff. Has anyone else had this problem with the watch? I realize I could move the buttons on my shirts - but that is a pain in the butt. This watch will be a daily wear piece, I do not intend to rotate it. I would like it to work with my daily dress apparel.I think I have spent too much time on this site. I was convinced I would purchase a Submariner until I started viewing this section and looking at the Seamaster pics. It's a beauty. Now my decision is clouded. lol.Thanks for your help.
