You been talking to Chris? :tap:


I will not do anything right away, the bracelet is perfect and fits fine out of the box (no links added or removed).


However...

I came across this picture, I think the strap is black.

At some point, I will put a leather strap on it, probably without the contrasting stitch.

Omega is knocking it out of the park. At this rate they will be back to number one mass luxury brand again in a decade or less. Look out Rolex.

I like them, too. :cheers:


After two failed attempts to hold on to a Speedy, this may be the only way I'll own the lugs.

I thought so as well. For a watch this style 38.5mm is good, but 41.5mm is better.

Looks great. Loved the AT while I had mine. I missed a timing bezel though...
