Is it safe to swim with?

 

Only if you've waited the requisite 30min after eating your Cheese.

 

Omega Forums - the inside joke capital of the internet!

 

Why can't you guys help the OP instead?

 

Hey,

Welcome to the forum.

So, do you definitley have a Speedmaster Professional Chronograph Chronometer (they exist, they're just a rather rare beast), or do you have the more common Speedmaster Professional Chronograph?

I'm UK based, so can't help with a TX recommendation, but pinning down what you have first could be helpful as to where people will send you.

Cheers

Chris

 

If you post a picture it will help - depending on vintage it may change recommendations as to where to send it.

 

I believe Paul was wondering why the need to just poke fun at the OP, rather than help...

I thought our official guidelines advocated poking fun and helping?

 

Seems like some members need educating. The OP could well have a Speedmaster Professional chronometer and wants to know who would be best to look after it.
Then again, he might just have a run of the mill Speedmaster chronograph.

 

If it were one of the Chronometers, that puts him in a pretty small group of 50 owners:

Doesn't change the fact that members shouldn't be so quick to take the piss.

Read my first post on the thread, we're in agreement...

 

I'm confusing my precious metal aren't I William?

 

Interesting article. Thanks.

 

exactamendo...

 

And for the semantics - we have to reckon that outside of the WUS community, the reality is, the vast majority of people will use chronograph and chronometer interchangeably. This doesn't mean that such people should be made fun of

(it would be different if they wore a Hublot, though!)

 

Which community??

 

WIS - typo. Sorry

 

at least he didn't get deployant wrong like on my first post...
