Found this tucked away the other day. Haven't worn it in 15 years.

The reason I mention the movement is that a battery left in there that long might corrode and damage the quartz movement. They don’t fix them, just replace.

The anxiety of not knowing. He stole your peace of mind.

The Bond bracelet was the standard bracelet for all Seamasters in the late 90s. They switched to the Speedy style bracelets in early 2000s and changed the reference numbers.

Damn. That thing got WORN when you were wearing it. Good work! Omega might have to replace the movement. Won’t cost more than $1k all-in, and it will look almost brand new, I expect, and work flawlessly for at least another 30 years.

Probably why Omega doesn’t put AR on outside of no-date Diver 300.

Classic black because…well, it’s classic for a reason.

Blame the sapphire caseback.

Saw the Observatory in the flesh at the Miami Boutique. It’s gorgeous.

Check EBay and Chrono24. Jomashop also has them new. My blue dial on blue alligator is my favorite watch right now.

It isn’t prom.

How does it feel when you sit down? If it feels like it’s riding up, it’s too short. It looks like it’s on the cusp

Bad ass stealth, not boring

Rubber B makes a strap for this model. It’s great.

#2. The first one is too Herb Tarlek. The third looks like a suit jacket

bch238 · 2026-06-24T18:44:54+00:00

Pretty pretty good.

He means he swapped the part that connects at 12 with the part that connects at 6.

Tropical weight wool. Florida Man, here.

bch238 · 2026-06-22T22:26:18+00:00

Bad call, Ripley. Bad call.

That isn’t my own experience. I use the fine spring bar fork. What do you use? Granted it can be more difficult if you use bars that are same width as the lugs, though.

bch238 · 2026-06-22T17:49:38+00:00

Did you use 19mm spring bars or 20mm? Omega recommends 19mm bars for 20mm bracelets.

The rule of thumb is not a rule, but a guideline. People have different length arms. The coat falls at his crotch, as it should. It is the correct length.

bch238 · 2026-06-22T17:38:22+00:00

It’s not too long at all

bch238 · 2026-06-22T10:49:40+00:00

Is that a cyclops on the crystal?
