Watch Experts Network: ‘¡°Authentic¡± NASA velcro strap ¨C Speedy Tuesday meets Strap Review’
If you start to explore the world of Speedmasters and Omega in general one name you will come across is the late and great Chuck Maddox. Many things we know today are results of his thorough research, which is still a reference point for a lot of topics. Let that be a Speedy Pro, a vintage Heuer or vintage chronograph in general; he had his hands in everything. And boy was he ingenious. So ingenious that his works inspired a lot of people to start their own research, buy their first watch, or like the subject of this article, make their own ¡°authentic¡± NASA Velcro strap.As Phil (or Kizzi known by members on watch forums and eBay) a veteran Speedy wearer for 40 years puts it:¡°¡­always thought it would be cool to have a watchband linked to Apollo to go with the watch, but the ones available never looked like flown ones sold at auctions or from the NASA image archive, and that always puzzled me.

OM Band
I recently purchased an Orange Monster as a Christmas gift for my son. The watch has the Seiko Rubber band. I want to buy the Metal watchband that is original equipment for most of these watches. What is a good resource?

It was supposed to be a ROLEX, I swear!!!
Well, I decided I was going to do it today. For my 32nd birthday this month finally purchase the Rolex watch I've wanted for so long, the No-Date Submariner...black dial...stainless steel..timeless. I wanted a brand new Rolex to keep forever. Well, I walked into Tourneau at the Pentagon City Mall and headed straight for the Rolex section. The extremely beautiful Adriana showed me the Sub. It looked beautiful, but didn't make my heart go pitter-patter when I had it on my wrist like I thought it would.Next I looked at several Omega watches. I liked them very much, but again...no pitter patter. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Breitling section. I've never given any thought to owning a Breitling. I saw the SuperOcean on mesh....and it had an aura around it....what is that? I thought to myself.Adriana spotted where I was looking. Oh, do you want to see that? I really like these., said Adriana. I saw this watch and thought, sheesh...this will be way more than the Rolex. It was gorgeous

Ref 5085
Hey guys,I am doing pretty extensive research on my first Patek. I ran into Ref 5085. Really like the dial, but at 37mm appears to be a bit small.Would love to hear your thoughts on this ref.Many thanks in advance!
