Few questions.

Congratulations to Derek to this website, great work, nice people discussing here, I like this web very much!
Im now for ten days proud owner of full-sized SMP Chronometer in steel, black dial, black bezel, new ("speedo-like) bracelet, the nicest watch I have ever seen... Im very satisfied, especially with its accuracy, daily +2 sec.

I have 3 questions:

1. Which sort of steel Omega uses in SMP, is it 316L?
2. How much tightened should be the crown after time resetting operation to be waterresist?
3. Why the omega emblem on the crown(s)(- also Helium valve) is after tightening upside-down, when you look from lateral view? Is it the same in any other SMP or not, can it be corrected and how? (further tigthening not possible...and not requested)

One comment:
I found the new style bracelet for NEW Seamasters very good, very calm, perfectly fitting to the new dial design, not so shining like jewellery on your wrist, like the older one.
I think that this was a very good step, new Seamaster should have new bracelet!

Thank you for any comments, answers.

Sincerely, Jan.
