Hello @Mach
The skill of barista is very GOOD~
Was your idea to ask him for having this art?
Yes, I requested this as a favor based on some of his previous work:



If I take my nephew with me, the barista was ask him for any special requests. The only problem is my nephew doesn't want me to drink it!

No pics as of yet, but landed from vacation yesterday and picked up my 60th yesterday an hour after landing! A bit jet lagged and more excited than I thought. Had no idea I would like it as much as I do. Ill work on pictures for the group tomorrow after a little sleep but such a great, great watch. I really love it on the strap, such a nice combo!

Congrats! Looking forward to the photos. Now, get some rest provided you can get that Speedy off your mind!😉

It’s not possible for them to guarantee the number, but if you do get it let us know!

First post, was reading through the thread looking for different strap combos for my recently received 60th and saw this. I deal with a boutique in the EU that I’ve bought several pieces and LEs through and I also had the chance to pick two options for my S/N and I received 214 as requested (@bzabodyn214 for those that may know me from Instagram).

Loving the watch so far and it’s a great piece alongside my ‘69 Pre-Moon and CK2998. Same issues as others with the bracelet and most disappointed it didn’t fit on the CK. Other than that, it’s everything I hoped it would be!

I cannot wait to have this watch 😀

PS: What was the price you paid for the watch? In the Czech republic it is 168 600CZK (6600Eur)

That statement shouldn’t pass by without emphasis as many asked whether it would fit the CK and/or FOIS in the lead up to the watches getting into customers hands.

It’s definitely something that I got tremendously excited about from the second I first saw pictures of the Trilogy but then quickly came back down to earth - in comparing the two side by side, the lugs of the CK are ever so slightly thicker and the lug hole location is just different enough that it’s impossible to get the springbar to seat. Why Omega couldn’t make this a plug and play affair is beyond me.

What about modifying the endlink?

First world problem: I just got a call from my OB and have a choice between two numbers, 2008 or 2010. Which should I go for? 😵‍💫

Congrats! I immediately thought of years when I saw those numbers. Did you have a life-changing event in either of those years - hopefully positive? What year is more significant to you?

Keep us posted and please post some wrist shots of your new beauty!

Anyone know what size screwdriver to get to size the bracelet? The screwdriver I have now is too small and I'm afraid of striping the slots if I use too much pressure.

I used a 1.4mm jewellers screwdriver. I was worried about doing the same thing, but the screws are tight and you need to apply a fair bit of pressure. Also, the screws are just plugs on both ends that hold in a pin. With some of my other watches the pin is one of the screws.
