··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorSay what? 😲
He’s a pilot and flies with it and doesn’t actually use it to time anything? 😕
That’s totally ridiculous. 🙄
He should be using it to time [and compare] the service at airport Starbucks compared to the service at airport Dunkin’s where just plain old coffee is desired...what I’m saying is...due to all those ridiculous happy-frappy drinks [that take years to make] that are ordered by ridiculous happy-frappy people at Starbucks, the service takes waaaaaaaaay longer. 😁
Last time I was at Starbucks in Hawaii I was the only one getting a actually coffee . On the marine base I thought they wouldn't be frappa latte,ing 🤦🤦 worse than down town.......

·Upon further review regarding the SR22, he doesn’t really need to time stuff [or even wear a watch] imho...it looks like it already does all sorts of nutty hi-fidelity/whiz-bang jobs...heck, it can probably automatically order Dunkin’ [or Starbucks] and have it delivered directly to the SR22...
Unfortunately, what I’m accustomed to [the MD88/MD90] isn’t as hi-fidelity/whiz-bang as the SR22...you gotta go stand in line for the almighty Dunkin’ [or Starbucks]...

·Looking at the pics in the OP, I noticed the helium escape valve is missing. No wonder the freaking crystal blew off -- too much internal pressure! Have the watchmaker retrofit an escape valve when he resets the crystal.
....probably be a good idea to have a small port hole next to the helium escape valve - let out the excess tritium light?

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerMy guess is that the crystal wasn't properly seated in the first place. It typically takes a good amount of force to pop out a Speedy crystal that had been fully inserted...

·Be careful though if you happen to have the new crystal fitted at omega.not only to instruct them to use the proper nitrogen not helium but they might also put an RFID chip under the Rehaut. Better keep some tin foil at hand.
