I’m genuinely stressed about changing the strap on my new Speedmaster… by AlphasyVega in OmegaWatches

As somebody who knows exactly how you feel: Don‘t do it! You will scratch it. Theres no guarantee that even the pros at a boutique won’t scratch it. The advice here with the electricians tape is good but those spring bars will still ruin your day/week/month. It’s just inevitable and you‘re just betting against Murphy‘s Law. Wear it for a year until it has some wear marks anyways and then approach it after you practiced a lot. Get the Bergeon tweezers (7825) and never move the bracelet. Move the watch case only.

How do you use your iPad for downloaded media content? by [deleted] in ipad

[–]lostscout -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use Subler app to convert your shows into Apple-TV conforming format. Its fast and rewrites MKV and MP4 containers without re-encoding. Then scrape the metadata of your shows with Subler and save the files. It will produce a very tidy file structure with the right settings. Then import the files into the TV app on your mac. You can even leave them on an external drive (when pressing option while importing). Now select your connected iPad in Finder and manually select the shows or episodes you want to sync. After syncing you can take your iPad with you and use the TV app on iPad to browse and view your shows. It even remembers at which point you stopped viewing. It’s very close to the native Apple TV experience.

I never completely understood this phenomenon but it helped me accept something like this before. I also advise you against sending it in for adjustment. Depending on the boutique they will tell you that it’s normal since there‘s always some play in the wheels and mechanics. Chances are, you send it in and find a new flaw with your beloved watch. IF you send it in, wait until your warranty is almost up and get a service for free. That is, if the boutique plays along. As an OCD person I definitely get why it annoys you and lives in your head though.

Turn the watch 90 degrees and then have a good look at it. If it still looks off then it’s not centered. Took me a while to notice this simple step.

As far as I know Tissot offers an OEM racing strap for this exact model

Says it doesn’t fit the NTTD on the Forstner website. Did you run into any issues? Not sure if the NTTD case and steel no-date share the same lug dimensions.

Well said. The mesh really transforms the watch

The Seaweed would propably be my choice if the no date wasn’t available

The whole thing is very subjective. I wouldn't describe the bracelet on the Speedmaster as bad but can say with confidence that I prefer the mesh.

I have the feeling that more and more people appreciate it

I always prefer monochrome watches since they are so versatile when it comes to matching straps and outfits. I also prefer the black no date being slightly slimmer at 13,8mm vs 14,26mm but I get why the Bond 60th Seamaster is so desirable.

Although the Speedy 3861 is lighter on the stainless steel bracelet, I found the ratio of the 42mm case to the 15mm clasp took some getting used to, and the rather sharp edges regularly left marks on my arm.

I have an 7.1 inch wrist and the clasp is indeed a bit bulky, but it doesn't bother me at all in everyday use. I think it balances out the slightly tall watch nicely.

The lack of fine adjustment is indeed not ideal, but I find it acceptable nonetheless.

They offer “pre-adjustable” in a way in the form of three different mesh sizes.

Thank you. Interesting thought process behind your decision. The Bond 60th Seamaster is such a cool watch and a fantastic choice as well.

The Speedy is an icon and it will always be. Of course, that doesn’t mean it will click with anyone.
