GIVEAWAY: Marvin Malton Cushion M119 Watch
Cushion watches are named as such because the shape of the case is supposed to look like a couch cushion. No one's had a better idea since they started calling them that.

New Speedy Questions
I've been a lurker but never posted so go easy on me if you would! I was fortunate to receive a new Speedmaster Professional 3570.50 as a gift this Christmas and so far I have to say it's become my new favorite among the other watches I own, which include a Seamaster, a Hueuer Carrera, and the ubiquitous Submariner (16800). I literally don't want to take the Speedy off my wrist. So my question is, is the new Speedmaster a Chronometer movement and should it come with a COSC card? All that was in the box of mine was the plastic International Warranty card. Also, the clasp is a bit loose on mine when closed, not quite the vault-like click you get on my Seamaster's clasp. Anyone else have that experience?Cheers,David

New (to me) Seiko Bullhead chrono
...on an original fish bone bracelet.Interesting how the bracelet is asymmetric to accommodate the asymmetric case shape. The case is wider at the 12 o'clock side, to make room for the crown and pushers, than at the 6 o'clock side. So while the lug widths (and end links) are 20mm at both ends, the bracelet is 20mm at the 6 o'clock end but flares to 24mm at the 12 o'clock end!70's bracelets, Japanese or Swiss, usually seem to be designed more as torture devices than anything else. They all have a thin, cheap, tinny feel compared to modern bracelets this fish bone bracelet is no exception it seems too thin and underweight to support the weight of the watch head. 70's bracelet building technology just couldn't cope with the designers' imaginations. Honestly, most 70's bracelets, even from expensive brands like Omega and Rolex, seem like they were made in someones garage when compared to even cheap modern bracelets from China.I think there's a bracelet swap in this watch's futur

Complications...
I used to buy all my watches with the most complications I could see, I tried to use them, but I realized that I don't use them at all (just for the testing of the watch and nothing more, some little times for measuring time laps, and some other to have fun watching the 1/10, or 1/20 cronographs spinning like mad )Now as I'm pointing on more expensive watches in the near future (I have enough 400~1000 USD watches ) I'm thinking that I can buy some more watches with the cost difference between "complicated" watches and "non complicated" watches...This because I'm not a pilot, race car driver, diver or so, I always looked just for the most complicated watch for their appeal, not for the functions themselvesOf course I'm talking about the same model with and without complications, of course if only complications are available, so it's the one I buy...What you think about? Maybe I'm just starting to become old
