Super cool! Is that 50s? I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get an English day wheel put in when you have it serviced some day (if you care to)

1969. I'm told English day wheels are available and not terribly expensive to have installed. I'm gonna use the Dutch as a conversation piece for now.

Maybe I'm the odd one, but I'd leave it as is. It's more charming that way.

I love vintage Omegas as well! In addition to my speedy, I bought my girlfriend a 1950s Omega antique dress watch (non Seamaster). Similar to your unique dial, the case back was engraved from it's original owner to her husband and the girlfriend's first inclination was to replace the case back, but after some encouragement from me and our sales guy she kept it and now loves the uniqueness and "provenance" of the engraving. Not saying you shouldn't change the wheel if you want English, but don't feel like you have to do it!

42 is ok. Want SuperOcean Heritage 46.

You tiny fellers can have a look at the new Mille - Ferrari project which is smaller. 1.75mm is new thinnest ever. Yours for 1.8m.

Made to order. You tell him everything from material, color, stitch color, buckle typr, etc etc and he makes them.

Have two straps from Aaron, they are awesome.

Also like Veblenist and delugs, but beware that delugs is based in Singapore so it's a PITA to return anything.

Tudor dropped a new Ranger model today, for the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland Expedition. Pretty neat. Gives a 39mm option now since the Explorer went back to 36mm.

Is is chronometer grade? There's no mention of it on the dial or site after a quick perusal.

Good looking watch.

Do they use in-house movements?
Silian Rail
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Would be amazing if they did, I don't know of many microbrands that make their own movements, the investment is crazy high

Especially micro brands that only cost a few hundred dollars. Their website says they use Japanese movements.

Yeah, you guys are right. I found the website and the Auto posted above uses the Miyota 8205. Most (or all) of their watches are Japanese auto or quartz.

Still nice looking watches though.
