Awesome to see you wearing an Omega :thumbsupsmileyanim: But that strap's got a worse gape than a porn star's *ahem*... I've heard that 1.8mm spring bars will help alleviate the gaping :)

OH! This reminds me, TeeJay, I think I forgot to reply to FxrAndy. What he said, my mother totally agreed on -- that some watches just look like dude watches, no matter how you dress them up to look like a lady watch. That's the case with the PO, I think. :(

In compensation, Navi sent me the orange leather deployant strap, and it looks a little better on that!

As for myself, I'm still wearing and loving the 2220.80 :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Mmm, you have great taste, mon ami. Now, you just need a white Hublot. :lol:

I think you're right there, some watches definitely have a masculine air about them, and the Planet Ocean is one of those watches... I bet it looks much better on the leather deployant. The problem with the PO Gape, is that nine time out of ten, people are (and dealers are selling) trying to fit regular Seamaster straps, to the Planet Ocean, which has a decidedly different strap. My 45mm Planet Ocean (I really miss that ) is one of the early generations which had the 20mm Seamaster strap force-fit onto the Planet Ocean lugs, by having a second set of lug holes drilled a little closer to the case, and slightly higher in the lug (about 2mm in, and maybe 45 deg up. The result, combined with the watch having a hole to accept the rep strap guide pin, is a strap which doesn't gape, although it is 2mm narrow... Silix sells the correct Planet Ocean straps in 22mm, but I'm not sure if he also sells them in 20mm...

Hee hee, the HBB Aspen is still keeping pretty good time (although admitedly not as good as the +4 secs a day of the 2220.80 :D ) I'm a bit irritated that the bezel insert got a nick in it a few days ago, but, as it is only 1mm long, and contained entirely within the space of the '3' character, I can put up with it for now, and possibly get a replacement bezel insert in the future. I'm in two minds as to if the nick 'gives it character', or if it just counts as 'damage', because in all honesty, it is pretty un-noticeable unless the light catches it a certain way, as the mark does not affect any of the blue coloring at all (which was just blind luck)
