    Well, it's about time they learned to stand on their own two ....... hands
    Can't hang on to the apron strings forever, and there comes a point where you have to trust them to their own devices.

    My Speedmaster is out of commission after my four year old dropped it and I miss it even though I haven't dropped it off to get fixed yet.

    I know the feeling, Seriously. My watch was sent to Oris ( in the USA) for work under warranty in late March, and I am still awaiting its return. It will be great to have it back and running in tip-top shape. In the interim, I bought a variety of new straps for my other watches (and for the Oris) and a new Swatch to carry me over. Be strong!

    I know the feeling. Like seeing one of your kids leave home.

    Just keep thinking about the anticipation of getting them back and that should help ease the stress.

    Good luck.

    Apparently I've had my 'hands ordered' on the brown 150 , and I've had a 'crown wave replaces, directed spiral' on the cream 322

    It's so nice to see the hands aligned properly on the brown , they've never been right since NEW !, and I only noticed perhaps a year after buying !!
