    Who else has lost watch parts on their watch bins?

    So this morning I came home and decided that after installing one of those display casebacks for my speedmaster for nearly years now, I really want to just have the original back on.

    As lovely and high quality asthese display backs was, i was tired of it. Never thought I’d get tired of gazing at a 321 movement but here we are.

    So I reached into my parts been next to some of the original gear that came with my watch and...... nothing. No caseback. No dust cover.

    I almost immediately freaked out and wen through all my watch shelf drawers one by own and even pulled them all out completely and undid their lining to check of it fell between the cracks.

    Nothing..........


    Then it dawned on me that we moved a few months ago.

    I reached into my bedside drawer and pulled it my red service box from a Omega and tucked under the foamy cushion, TADA!

    I found it!

    Almost gave myself a heart attack....

    Unfortunately, I'm not detail-oriented enough to know if I'm missing both socks.

    Your microscope avatar foils your lies.

    I know you’ve got a spreadsheet ordered in color and hue by RGB of each warm cozy footwear. :thumbsup:

    Somehow I think this might be the wrong bin.
