Hi,

A half-link to my Omega Seamaster GMT became slightly bent while using a pin removing tool.

Would it be okay if I tried to straighten it out? If so, what's the best way to go about it?

I could get a replacement half-link but it would take a few days. The bracelet is too tight as it is now without the half link.

Thanks.

FS 20mm Brand New Christopher Ward blue Italian Vintage Oak leather strap on Bader deployant clasp. Never mounted on watch head.

I think this strap would look good on a blue Bulova Lunar Pilot or Omega Snoopy Speedy.

Nice quality leather from Christ...

FS 20mm Brand New Christopher Ward blue Italian Vintage Oak leather strap on Bader deployant clasp. Never mounted on watch head.

I think this strap would look good on a blue Bulova Lunar Pilot or Omega Snoopy Speedy.

Nice quality leather from Christopher Ward. Bader clasp is an Omega style clasp – long end of strap tucks under the clasp with no keeper.

I measured 120mm /80mm without clasp. No taper.

Pictures are of the actual strap so please consider them part of the description…

Hello,

I just got this Citizen GMT. The push pull crown is crooked.

I would appreciate any advice/ thoughts as to the cause, and whether it's significant enough to return the watch instead of having it repaired (under warranty). I got the watch at a significant discount so would consider keeping it if it's a minor issue.

The stem appears to be straight and other functions appear to work properly. There doesn't seem to be any trauma to the case which would suggest a drop, etc...
