Re: Seamaster Titanium Chronograph Newbe Questions

If I recall correctly when I owned my 2296.80 for all of three weeks, there are at least two smaller size links, with one being a half and the other being more like 2/3rds, so you can fine tune the size. The 2298 is indeed obsolete in the US, and the last NIB one I saw was in Gothenburg Sweden in June of 2005. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but if you didn't get any half links with your watch then it may not actually be new. Did you get THREE plastic cards with your watch? You should have gotten a warranty card, a COSC card, and an icon card with the features of that watch on it.

The pusher action is definitely a hard click, and if you saw all the gaskets that are on the pushers to keep it waterproof to 1000 feet you'd know why it feels that way.
