great looking strap, moo.

So, just wanted to give a shoutout to Stitchy.
My friend was looking for a Michele watch, and she had nothing but good things to say about working with him. And she can be a bit of a hard ass.
And the obligatory pic...

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

newcomer, thanks for the shout out, man.

and thanks for sending a customer my way, much appreciated.

Merci, Moo.

Are you sure you aren't on your way to Basel, mimo, to splurge on that perpetual calendar split-seconds chronograph minute repeater tourbillon???

Alas, the VIP treatment for my old Omega is simply because the local AD doesnt' know how to do anything. It's going to cost me $120 just to pay the shipping and get a quote for the repair! In the mean time, my $30 Sekonda is deputising. Unless I also clean up the Saddam Hussein Rodania quartz....

If there's anyone around here who'd fly to Basel to buy something insane, I think we both know who's in the frame around here, eh Frilly? The guy who doesn't know the meaning of "endgame", eh, Frilly? Know who I mean? Hmm?

OK, now you've piqued my interest. I demand photos.

Well it's crazy for you Europeans, but sometimes it can actually make sense for people who get 20-30% VAT refunds traveling out of Europe!

Mimo - I'm not sure if you reside on this side of the pond, but if you do, hit me up next time for a reference to a Canadian Omega specialist. He's taken care of a number of my vintage pieces and absent the catastrophic, your total repair would likely cost less than what you will be shelling out for shipping and a quote.

I hear you. My watch is the ugly country cousin of yours, and I think a couple of years older! Also currently broken (by my dropping it on the floor only months after having it restored), and on its way to Switzerland for a consultation with the doctor...

Well hopefully it comes back working better

 

[Mr. Moo]

Thanks for the kudos, guys.

I should mention that the strap is really comfortable, and made my watch (which already felt great on the wrist due to the Omega bracelet) feel almost like I wasn't even wearing it. I did not think the Omega bracelet weighed as much as it did. If you want an unlined shell cordovan strap, it's hard to beat one of the US retailers offering them (Leffot, LS, etc.)
