    The watch is fake omega casebacks line up.

    You have to seriously over torque the caseback to get it to not line up…

    Watch in question is Schumacher 5x gold edition.

    Also today.

    145.012 needs a new bezel ( already had a modern replacement. ) The advice? “ You have to send it to Omega as they do not sell parts to anyone”

    I mean where do you start on explaining the myriad ways to source a modern speedy bezel.

    It's fake news all over again!

    FB is great for helping to organise group activity etc for like-minded folk - but would go there for advice and factual content almost as quickly as race to Twitter...

    There's a reason why I'm not a part of any hobby groups on Facebook. I use it purely to keep in touch with people that I actually like. Too much noise in the rest of it.

    It’s the gold Schumacher for winning 5 titles. It also came in SS.
