Speedmaster on 1574 (AT) bracelet
Hi all - Has anyone put their Speedy on a 1574/898 bracelet? I know its been done by a few folks out there as I have read a couple of threads on it and seen a few photos. The photos I saw looked great but this doesn't seem to be a common combo...A little background - I got my first nice watch about 2 years ago...A the classic Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. While I love the watch the modern 1998 bracelet has always been a big disappointment for me. It always felt to big, too blingy and I could never get it to fit right. This dissatisfaction was made more evident when I bought my BLNR and got to enjoy how nicely Rolex's modern oyster bracelet looked and felt.. This sent me on a long journey to find the perfect Speedy strap. I discovered what many already know...which is the Speedmaster is probably the most versatile watch for changing straps and bracelets which truly is one of the thins I love about it. I have probably spent close to the value of a new Speedy itself on bracelets an

Omega Speedmaster Date NATO
Just purchased a nato for my 3511.50. I live the detailed omega bracelet but I thought this would look kinda neat for a change. Took the pic in the PM so the date is in the process of changing.

First Patek arrived this morning...
Thanks to everyone who chimed in about cutting the strap, and all the gratuitous picture posts that help me fall in love with this watch!I probably spent 10 minutes unboxing everything before I even got to the watch!The clasp is amazing.I must admit, when I first saw the Aquanaut several years ago I thought it was terrible. Actually, at that time, everything in the Patek lineup was nothing special to me (into Panerai and Rolex at the time)...now I'm thinking it's time the Panerai moves on - I can't see why I'd wear it now that I have this beauty.

Submariner Flat Four 50th Anniversary
HiCan anyone out there help ?I purchased a brand new Flat 4 from an authorised UK dealer back in March 2004 and have all the relevant paperwork including purchase receipt. This watch has been stored away and only very occasionally worn (max 10 times).On looking at the watch today for the 1st time I have noticed that there is a querk within the dial face, ie the batons and minute markers do not align as they should - see picture attached, in particular 30 mins in relation to position to the 'Swiss Made'This watch is totally 100% original without any servicing or modifications since 2004 !My question is does this decrease or increase the potential value of the watch ? I cannot understand how this ever passed the Rolex QCThanksTrimmy
