Don’t hate but I’m wearing my amaze-ing watch. Now hold up I’m in the midst of battle with the mother of all bees nests I thought I’d get a break today as last night The news said we were getting a “category 2” storm. I was kinda happy as tbh I have no idea how I’m gonna remove this nest but imo it does not look stormy today which means I need to figure something out.

Morning coffee aided by the 2nd execution 1163T with alternate period blue strap today… And yes - that’s not today’s date (even in the Southern Hemisphere) - too much winding with no quick set!
Finally back after a quick (1 month ) visit to the watchmaker. New crown and case seals, small adjustment and it’s done! But whoever guesses the main cause will earn 100 points from the Omega forum! I was going to announce it on the private sales room, but I think I will keep it for a few more days to verify that everything is fine And…. Yes…
