Need a proper Bezel
Hello again all.So much experience here, hopefully someone can help. First, the story on this watch. It's my father's, and the one that put the hook in me for watches. He bought it in Singapore in '59 or '60 while working his way around the world-sometimes as a diver. He wore it continously until the early 80's when the case seal was compromised and condensation got in. He threw it in the drawer, expecting it to be done for good. I rescued it about 16 years ago and sent it to the Omega dealer in Calgary for repair. They shipped it to a fellow in Vancouver who did the work. Luckily, the movement (501) was fine and only required a cleaning. He advised against redoing the dial so I have kept it original, water stains & all. He said he was unable to determine what the correct bezel should have been for this watch, so he installed the one you see on it.(it had no insert and was just a stainless, non-rotating ring. My wife made the bezel insert on her laser engraver). The bezel is the co

For those 5070 lovers ...
Not my watch, I don't think they are available already. But as a first post I think this is the best I can do !I confess, I'm baised when talking about this most beautifull watch PP EVER made :) :) :)

Would I be scared...........
If I asked the price of a genuine Breitling divers black rubber strap??Does anyone know?I know my Omega Seamaster strap cost an arm and a leg. But it did make the watch.

Question about rubber bracelet fit on 5167
I'm really considering getting a 5167. Love the look of this watch. Went down to my local AD and tried on a similar watch (5164) as they didn't have a 5167 in stock. My question is this: How does this rubber strap fit/feel on a smallish wrist ( Maybe 7 inches or so- I take 2 links out of a current Rolex Oyster). I'm concerned about the top part where it comes off the watch. It seemed to bow out wider than my wrist but maybe this was due to the way I had it on and because it was new. It comes with a pretty large bracelet and I had it clasped. Will it form fit better once cut to my specs? Does it loosen up or mold more to the wrist once it's cut and worn? Maybe a silly question but I would love to hear peoples experiences.
