Good stuff!!

 

Extremely informative.

 

Aw man, I didnt think anyone would read that!

 

Congrats! Very cool and fantastic write-up

 

Rockstar Indeed

 

Interesting perspective, and very well written. Congratulations!

 

Great article! Very interesting and informative. But it started getting me worried again about getting parts for my watch as I plan to wear it till it’s time for me to exit and I hope to still have a while longer here.

 

Wow! Very helpful, great reading.

 

Thanks for the different perspective, time and effort you have made for us all.

 

Thanks all. Feel free to debate the topic and the perspective. Hearing a range of views is what makes this place so great!

 

I need to find some hammer springs....

Great article.

 

I wouldn't have if Marc didn't link to it here.

So, now that you're famous, can I have your autograph?

 

Thanks for posting! I am working on restoring my 1970 Speedmaster that was serviced by Omega and this is definitely interesting to ponder.

 

@oddboy - Just saw the "Looks kind of like a paperclip, doesn't it?" at the end - is that an inside joke referring to that former member who actually used a paperclip in that part's place?

 

So, where can I find a cheap speedy flat foot crown ? Just kidding, thanks for spending time sharing your perspective.

 

Sometimes a paperclip is just a paperclip...

 

it is a reference to that, though i found out from Al while writing this piece that the part I posted a pic of is not the same one that was paperclipped in that situation...

.... @ulackfocus, is that a term we can add to the OF Lexicon? "paperclipped"?

 

101...

 

It's certainly a word that long time members will associate with that Speedmaster fiasco.
