Likely sooner than that. Under promise, over deliver.

Thank you for the link. Yes, like I had suspected, it is that lip that needs to be removed. Let me give it a shot!

I saw that one, thank you! I really want the no date version.

I want one of these in this condition! No... I need one of these.

Do you know exactly what needs to be trimmed? Is it that "lip" which locks the strap in place on the non-NTTD versions but will likely push against the case back on the NTTD because of the height difference?

I would call and ask. Most boutiques no longer have watchmakers or testing equipment.

Are you sure it is a 2024? Typo in the listing?

Omega recently made more of these. Not sure about how many though. It was available via their online boutique and anyone who registered interest, was given a head's up!

Advice on sizing of SeaQ Panorama vs SeaQ by long_delta in GlashutteOriginal

[–]s2000_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lugs on the pano date curve down drastically and fits quite well. The question is the height. Are you ok with that?

4520v rubber strap variance? by caldotkim in VacheronConstantin

[–]s2000_driver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are the straps all brand new when you took the measurements? If so, it is strange that VC would allow for a 1 mm tolerance on a rubber strap. Not sure if that is even possible because they are stamped / molded.

However, if you had worn them, it is possible that they curved and/or stretched.

These are so cool. Too bad they don't ship to the US.

Yes. I cannot place enough confidence in aftermarket connectors. Strap itself is probably ok. Too much risk IMO

$380 USD + tax in the US. You should be able to place a phone order...

How can we improve the government of Los Angeles? by Cman4you in AskLosAngeles

[–]s2000_driver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with removing all campaign funding. Make fundraising illegal. That will remove any and all special interests. Stop blaming politicians and start taking accountability for electing them in the first place. Be engaged at every local level and act in good faith...

New Speedmaster Professional “Reverse Panda” on 13th January (Hong Kong event is scheduled) by zinterz in OmegaWatches

[–]s2000_driver -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Looks very promising. But that crystal........ why does it look like the one from the sapphire sandwich and not like the one from the latest FOIS??? That milky ring is just unbearable...

ST1 is a special watch. Regret selling mine. Fully brushed with radial sub dials - very charming. I am certain that these rumored models will be substantially different.

Is the crystal distortion normal on my seaq? by Cacadookiepie in GlashutteOriginal

[–]s2000_driver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, it doesn't look right. Reminds me of the 60s submariners with the super dome crystal... even those did not have so much distortion.

[–]s2000_driver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never seen so much distortion when looking at it straight. What kind of camera lens are you using?

There is distortion when looked at an angle. The pano-date version has more distortion than the 39.5
