Hey guys, Having had my pride and joy on the black rubber strap since day one, I've just switched it to a brand new Orange OEM rubber strap. I have to say, whilst expensive, the official Omega rubber straps are unbeatable IMO. I didn't go for the Orange digits on the dial when I bought it, as I was worried I'd get bored of them - In hindsight, I think it would have been fine, although I'm satisfied with the polished numbers as they twinkle under different light conditions! Absolutely love this new orange strap though - Gives it a whole new look and feel.
I started playing around 2 month ago (guess which Netflix Original inspired me.....) - My chess.com rating floats around the 1000 mark. I've found that's a level which allows for some semi-high calibre thinking, along with some blunders of the highest order!
