Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Stunning watch Alex! This is probably the pick of the bunch from the racing Speedmaster line.
Congratulations on the watch, but most importantly on the healthy family which it was bought to commemorate.

Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Thanks for your well wishes! And yes, I’m looking at some full yellow strap options…
I’m 90% sure it’s a tool to change the date. The date is changed by pressing a small button on the side of the case as seen here:

Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Thank you, Des. I’m glad you mentioned the box. It’s truly a thing of beauty by itself. I have it sitting out on my dresser! And yes, a big relief that it worked out as I hoped it would, after reading of others letdowns from their grails.strapline wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:22 am Wow, that's a spectacular watch, Alex, congratulations. Love the gunmetal silver with the yellow accents. I'd love to own an Omega one day, as much for the box as the watch, they're things of beauty. You have quite a back story there, too, which will always be inextricably linked to the watch. Delighted everything worked out well for you. Isn't it great when your research is validated?

Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Thanks! I thought my sister and I were always really close at 18 months apart, but it’s going to be quite a ride with my two being a mere 9.5 months apart!

Ahhh, that makes sense. That’s nice that they include a tool for you.

Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Congrats on the family story and on the watch purchase.
You nailed it. It's for changing the date. Nice and easy. I have a white dial version and love it! It keeps excellent time, well within COSC spec
Time keeps on slipping into the future
Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Congratulations Alex on a fantastic addition to your watch collection and one heck of a story in 2020 (plus that pandemic thing as well....LOL )

Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
Man, that is some story and congrats on all the events - the watch, a sudden new family, and "surviving" an extra-ordinary time in your life! A story for a lifetime.
It continues to amaze me how watches and life stories have a habit of intermingling, some serendipity to it.

Re: New arrival - Father’s Day Omega
^^^ Thanks guys. Definitely running well within COSC specs, about +2spd. Runs about the same as my C60 GMT and C65 SC
Oh yea, and can’t forget that whole pandemic thing that was going on throughout everything
As spectacular as the watch is, I can’t help but wish it had QR pins and a quick adjustment on the bracelet. Even so, it feels steps ahead of CW in quality. As I would hope for the price.
