I went to Tourneau in early June to have them replace my pins and barrels since they randomly would fall out. This has been my daily watch for the past 5 years. It took them 4 weeks to get the parts in from Omega, and then they sent it off to their Las Vegas location to be repaired. Well, yesterday I was reunited after a 6 week hiatus. The repair was only $25. Not bad. Here are some quick pics that I took today. Enjoy!

It's always nice to hear that things worked out really well. The Bond Seamaster is a great watch; glad to hear it's back on your wrist.

Great watch! It's always good to see another Bond fan. You mentioned that your "pins and barrels" would randomly fall out. Are you talking about a bracelet failure?

Always great to have an old friend return!!

Yeah, several times I have had my watch lose a pin and my watch fell off my wrist!!! The new pins and barrels should hopefull solve this.

No waves on this dial... only "007" logos. The waves are sweet on the standard model.

I know how it feels to have a watch come back home, enjoy!

I have the standard 2531.80 of the SMP, I like your style as well and glad that it doesn't have the "007" at the end of the second hand.

Found it odd that the link pins fell off... at least its now fixed.
