Regulating on the Sellita, Regulating on the OWCG as well.

Can you get them both METAS certified as well? (Just kidding). Love that about my Omega.
Yeah, not going to be reaching METAS levels, plus I don't have a car sized magnet and sensor array for the other METAS tests!

NH35 movements (like those watches have), are generally within 20spd out of the box. That's good enough for most, but those movements can be fine tuned quite a bit and you'll get much better timekeeping out of them. I suppose it is just because it's such a mass produced movement that everything is set by machines, and they do not have the time to micro-adjust the regulation by hand. Let me know, @dlbleak & @TANSTAAFL if you want me to put your OWCG watches on the machine and dial them in further. I'll be around.
I'd love to let you have a peek at the Squale and Steinhart.

Wearing the Bulova A-17A with my newly aquired Good Wear Bronco Mfg Corp 1761 contract (1944) A-2 jacket.

View attachment 530270
The watch I recall from childhood as the watch men wore, along with the field watches. The jacket seen only rarely and unzipped, as 15-20yrs passed since the war and waistlines grew, and knit cuffs generally coming apart...and rarely rarely saw any military clothing item worn outside of a parade.

So I went to Watches Etc. today. Man I need to stay outta that place!

Luckily my wallet stayed intact, but I may have to start standing street corners. If the right Submariner, Datejust or SpeedMaster comes along I'm gonna be in a lot of trouble.
It might help if you study service levels and prices...if nothing else, you will see automotive dealerships in a new and cheaper light.
