I ♥️ this thread!

As if arguing about Speedmasters isn't enough, now let's complain about their boxes too!



That's an EASY question to answer - so you can look & feel more like a real astronaut when you play astronaut. Let's face it - as a kid, you can use an old motorcycle helmet and some tin foil to make your space suit and you're good to go, but when a grown man wants to have a NASA fantasy everything has to be as authentic as possible! (right down to the Underoos, eh @vbrad26?)


Undoubtedly.

OP, you sure do bitch a lot.
Enjoy your Speedy...or not, and keep your $0.02 and save up for a Submariner.

I use the loupe all the time to size bracelets and even to regulate my Speedmaster. It's an essential tool for me when doing anything with watches. Also was helpful a couple weeks back when I got a splinter in my thumb. But yeah, the NASA strap is useless and the giant box is a pain in the butt for storage.

<3 the Omega loupe

I might use Loctite on one of my guns at times.

What are you using Loctite on watch for?

It works great for bracelet screws.

I paid for my right to bitch Bradley. A complaint about a box is not something I would call bitching but whatever. Bunch of disrespectful simpletons.

100 people buy a Speedy.

1 thinks it makes him an astronaut.

1 raves about how it has changed his life.

1 obsesses that the watch loses 2.37 seconds over 3.5 days.

1 complains about the excessively large box.

96 buy it, they wear it, they enjoy it and largely stay silent on their thoughts of it.

5 people sign up for Forums and post regularly. The first 4 and 1 of the 96. @ulackfocus gets tired of hearing from the 4...

You paid for a watch.

The bitching unfortunately appears to be both free, and plentiful.

Look I tried to be both respectful and civil but I had no idea these forums allow personal attacks or calling a simple complaint "bitching". F U

If you have nothing constructive to say or add DON'T say nothing at all.

Perhaps you should have taken your own advice... you know... before your insane rant about a box?


F U

Thanks for the offer, but I’ll pass on the fυcking Ta.

Got watch in that big ass box today. Glad I drive a full-size truck. This is an observation and not a complaint.

Had to keep the homeless guy from making it into his living room.

The Loctite is required on Rolex screws or they will back themselves out. Omega don't require it because the design is different. And yes, I use it on my guns too. I remember this one time the custom grip on my P229 fell off in the range because I didn't put Loctite on the screws.

All I know is that some watches are so beautiful I wanna make love to them. I guess a big box, box in a no sexual way, is like foreplay. Getting the watch out of the big box.

I guess that's why the designers put those two flaps you have to spread open on the Speedmaster presentation box

Well, when I was buying Moonwatch online the box looked like a good idea.
But now I'm planning to sell the box and it's contents, because I don't need it, but does anyone really want to buy it...?
Don't wear velcro nor Omega's nato, because aftermarket straps are better.
