Which watch?

Guess what's back from the shop and keeping perfect time? Happy Friday to me!
Beautiful - one squared away Speedy! New crystal and bezel/tachymeter?
I just sent in my DD214 copy for access. Approved but my access won't be granted until 1 NOV 17 -
Thanks! New crystal and bezel, new balance, new pushers and crown (not sure why), new main spring, and a complete cleaning and re-lubrication of the watch. Turns out dropping your watch on a tile floor is poor technique.
Fortunately, USAA covered the repair bill, and she's now under a fresh warranty.

That's the watch I got the old man. Forgotten how good looking they are. Good choice fellas.
Also like the proliferation of NATO straps. Pilots watches always look great on a NATO.
Cool beans!Thanks! New crystal and bezel, new balance, new pushers and crown (not sure why), new main spring, and a complete cleaning and re-lubrication of the watch. Turns out dropping your watch on a tile floor is poor technique.

You are now ready for Speedy Tuesday.
This is good to know, I'm looking to upgrade my watch and I'm with USAA.Thanks! New crystal and bezel, new balance, new pushers and crown (not sure why), new main spring, and a complete cleaning and re-lubrication of the watch. Turns out dropping your watch on a tile floor is poor technique.

For high-value watches, I recommend a valuable personal property rider for each individual piece. I individually insure mine by serial number and include pictures of the face and case back along with a scan of the sales slip or appraisal. It takes no more than 5-10 minutes to set up online, and the annual premiums cost about 1% of what you put down as the value of the watch. Well worth it, in my experience.
When I broke my Speedmaster, I told USAA what happened, and that I had already sent it to a repair shop. They said, "No problem, you're covered. Just send the estimate when it comes in." As soon as the estimate got sent, they ponied up the cash (as in within 24 hours.) They will cover repairs up to the listed value on the rider.
