    The titanium Bond Seamaster is, if memory serves, much thinner than the standard production model. I think the reason is they removed the date. So Omega COULD make a thinner, enthusiast-focused model without a date that ticks most desired boxes ... but to Fed's point, I would guess it won't happen.

    YES!!! I've been bitching about this for years, finally GS has listened and fixed the single biggest complaint that people had about their watches. Well done, GS. I look forward to purchasing one of your watches in the near future. Now, Omega...the Aqua Terra does not have your excellent Comfortlink (tool-free microadjustment) system that both the Seamaster 300 and Speedmaster line have. I see no good reason why it shouldn't, and with the AT you're competing with GS and Rolex (specifically, the Datejust), both of which now offer tool-free microadjustment. Please follow suit.

    I feel like you didn't really answer the question regarding watchmaker.
    The question wasn't really how to select among watchmakers; but how to literally find one!
    I figure there's got to be one around me, but a search for watch repair turns up the little shops in the mall that might fix your bracelet or change your battery. They might actually have real watchmakers, but who knows 🤷‍♂️
    I'm sure most watch dealers also have someone, but probably want to add their markup to the transaction! 😮

    Had I the means, I would buy a Toyota for Rolls-Royce money because that would be the Toyota Century, a car so luxurious that all the controls for amenities are in the backseat because it's assumed you have a chauffer. Among other high ups, they're used by Japan's royal family. They refuse to make it under the Lexus brand because brands operating in a specific market segment is a Western concept and that's not something the market for the Century would kowtow to. A lot of hand craftsmanship goes into one, something we cannot say about the Rolex Daytona.
