Hello Steve, thanks Very Muchly for this info. That certainly looks like her watch.
Of the info you supplied, what we didn't know was:
- sapphire crystal
- waterproof to 30m (don't swim with it? Not even at 1m?)
This explains why the watch looks all beat up and yet the glass covering the dial hasn't a single scratch on it. I've always wondered about her watch that way.
Are all sapphire crystals the same hardness? Could I expect the same performance from the crystal on my new Omega Seamaster 2264.50?
When the band broke last year, finding a replacement was tough because it's so unique where the band meets the watch, it's not normal there. I never could find a replacement, so what I did was buy a normal ladies 12mm band, cut slits into the edge of the bands and inserted and superglued the unique metal pieces which I carefully removed from the old broken band. Looked kinda ugly but it worked.
I believe she told me her old band was "crocodile"
Anyways, thanks again for your help.
Jim
