My Orbita Experience
Hello All,Obviously new to the forum - been snooping around and have been posting here or there on occasion. Have been a bit of a WIS and am diving in a bit deeper (and boy, the water is DEEP). But to my point - I need a winder and was looking at Orbita.Experience so far - I had some questions, so I ping'd Kevin and ultimately talked with him on the phone. It was a pleasure, he answered my questions and took my order. He let me know that the shipment would not leave until today (Tuesday) due to the Easter holiday (I ordered Thursday - late). It actually shipped yesterday and is in transit for delivery in a couple days.I just wanted to let those know who were looking, that dealing with Kevin and Orbita has been a pleasure. I'll keep you posted once the winder arrives!B

15300 vs 15400
I made the trip into the City of Brotherly Love to try one some watches at the local AP AD. It was about a 45 minute trek, but I was excited to try on some Royal Oaks. My buddy that was with me was considering purchasing either a Navitimer B-01, or the Milgauss GV.When we got there, they didn't have all of the watches listed as in-stock on their website, but they did have a 15300 for me to try on. I liked the fit of it, but it was definitely missing a few links - it fit my 6.75 wrist right off the bat. They didn't have any SS 15400s, but I did manage to convince the uninterested sales lady in letting me try on a 15400SR, the new two-tone RO from SIHH 2015. I didn't snag a pic of the 300 on my wrist, but I did get one of the 400 -Overall, I think the 400 is too big for me, as the lugs had some clearance off my wrist. What would I be missing out on if I went with a 15300 over the 15400? Can anyone give me a pros and cons? I think this throws the 15202 into the mix now, and that w

Strap sizes
The rubber strap that came with my ROOC 44 is about 1 notch too big, so I could ideally do with getting a replacementI have girlie wrists measuring in at 6.75inchDoes anyone know;1) I believe straps come in 3 sizes, is the 'small', strap the best for for this size / anyone know dimensions?2) how easy is it to change straps? Is it One for the jeweller?3) best place to buy one in the UK, I heard the RRP is ¡ê300! So any pointers for discount wild be much appreciatedMany thanks :)

Bond Seamaster - New vs. Old
Hello guys,I don't know how many Omega fans there are here, but I think they've got some excellent watches.Of course, I first saw the Bond Seamaster in a Bond Movie (The World Is Not Enough I believe) and I absolutely loved it! I said to myself: I'll get that one some day. I got a little scared when I saw how much money it would cost me though.Anyway, I now own the Bond Seamaster, but the newer model (quartz version, 2221.80 - go easy on me) and I absolutely love it. When I was at the AD to buy it, I had to choose between the old chronometer and the new quartz. It was pretty difficult. For practical reasons I went for the quartz. I held the watches side by side and noticed they looked pretty different from each other. On the newer model, there are applied markers, you've got the red Seamaster on the dial, there's different case back engraving (like the PO), the waves on the dial look a little different, the hands are slightly longer, the dot on the bezel-triangle is I think somewhat la
