Re: 25% off until 30th Nov

Anyone know the 3 strap sizes? I sent an e-mail but did not receive proper reply. It suggested I look at the chart but the chart just shows your wrist size. I asked to break down the 3 sizes ex: 120x80, ect. but the reply did not.

I gave it 30-35 cranks because I did not want to overwind. My Omega Seamaster I do a little less and the PR is much better.

Lido question

Just picked one up about a month ago and I really like it. However while the watch is running pretty much spot on time wise, it does not have a great power reserve. If I wind it and wear it all day and then take it off around 7-8pm, it may run another 18 hours or so but that is it. I noticed that th...

Nevermind, they were cleverly wrapped inside the bubble wrap.

Lido strap question

Just bought leather strap from a member but there are no end caps like in the pics I have seen on this site. Does the newest model come with them?

Re: c20 Lido question

I have already returned 2 and on the one I was assured by CS that because of the size 42mm it was a smaller length strap but it was not. They keep offering to punch extra holes but that does not help becasue the excess overhang makes it look bad. CS did return my e-mail and again offered to punch ho...

Re: c20 Lido question

Thanks. I doubt they will sell me the watch head only so I guess that is another model that I ahve to pass on. I just don't like the idea of punching another hole as usually the extra overlaps and sticks out too much.

Re: just got the CW Malvern

Can anyone suggest a non CW bracelet or strap for this model? CW replied I can return the strap and swap it for bracelet but the cost would be well over 125 bucks which I think is waaaayy too much considering I could have gotten the watch from them on bracelet when it was on sale for less than half ...
