Woot! Woot! I got a new watch!

Walked into the boutique hoping to try on the Pilot 36. Ended up walking out with the Mark XX. Sure, I’ve only had it for an hour, but I think I’m in...

It sounds like Nesbit’s is worth a try. I’ll have him contact them for an estimate. Thank you, all! (I think I may be more excited than he is, ha!)

This article shows the rounded second hand. I think I’ve seen an article that said the 321 had both hands, while the 861 only had the squared. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you! Wasn’t sure if I should send him to a local watchmaker or Omega. Taking it to an Omega boutique sounds like the best bet.

Ah, yes. I have around a 6.1”ish wrist and was finding myself in between links. Luckily, my C65 Dune has two half links and they match the Trident bracelet, so I’ve just commandeered one to get a much better fit. Definitely could be an issue for some, though.

Quick release bracelet made that an easy swap. Yes, rubber back and sides with a “sailcloth” fabric.

I also purchased the rubber strap, I’m sure I’ll post a photo in the coming days. I always try to get it on the bracelet as I have found it’s easier to get one now rather than later if I change my mind. I’ve only had it for about 45 minutes, but first impressions are good. This is my third CW, so I expect a well made watch.
