I've got an Orange bezel PO as well, couldn't get on with the XL version despite the massive wrist (the left one that does the guitar work before any of you cheeky buggers go casting aspersions) I've had a couple of problems with the clasp on mine, would anybody mind posting up a pic of the clasp when you've got the watch on?

Awesome watch fella, LOVE the clock too.  :notworthy:

Same as mine (Orange Bezel)  :drinking:, had my XL since it came out. It's never missed a beat. Nearly twice the price now, ridiculous!  :confused:
I've had mine for about 5 years now and it's just been in for its first service, hence why I came away with this latest Seamaster. I made the mistake of checking out the new watches whilst waiting to collect mine after it was serviced. I have also just bought a Tudor from my recent holiday which was a steal! My obsession seems to be taking over, so much so that I have been given a watch buying ban for 12 months! :sad1:

That Omega is stunning.  I still regret not snapping up the omega you sold a few months back
Yeah that was a nice one and cheap, but this is the reason why I had to get rid of it! :sad1:

Thanks Rich

Mine is stretched somewhere as it doesn't look as tightly closed as that.

How did you refinish it?

Ah I'd heard the green Scotch Brite pad was the thing for the job.

See how mine doesn't sit quite flush against the bracelet link?

I fell out of the back of a van with my hands full when I was helping somebody move which seemed to stretch the first clasp, then it was replaced and I slipped over on some diesel in a petrol station and did the same thing again only this time a replacement clasp hasn't solved the issue.
