Royal Oak 15450 problem?
Hello,Yesterday i received my 15450. I wound it and it starting to run. All good. I woke up this morning, time was accurate andi put it on. However, 2 hours later i noticed that it stopped. First i throught maybe its the power reserve although strange since i was wearing it for a couple of hours. So i wound it. Nothing happend. I wound it again, changed the date and time. Still nothing. Then i started to shake the watch so the rotor was making complete movements. This worked as the watch started to work again.Now, when i turn the watch and i can hear the a rather loud noise from the rotor. I do not know if this is normal since i didnt pay attention to it when i got it last night. Its like a loud winding noise. Can anyone please tell me if this noise is normal?

Sometimes I just have to stare!
I love this openworked... I was playing with some lighting.

Stainless Diver & Durability
Hey everyone, Thinking out loud here, and trying to source some inputs from owners regarding daily wear and durability of your AP divers. Ive had this watch on my mind for years now and until recently have strayed from its grasp. I purchased a Rolex Seadweller 4000 around Thanksgiving and have been wearing it daily, scuba'ing with it, shoveling, driving, boating... the works. The watch has not a nick on it, and has been put through its paces with ease. I recently went to a local AP AD and was talking all sorts of references from many brands, and was instinctively drawn to the diver in person. Was essentially told without a doubt I can get close to what I paid back for my SD and into a LNIB AP diver with the enclosed case back (not sure what the latest serial designation this is) for a great price. A bit of cash would have to be added from my end, but I am able and willing to make the switch if this would make sense. My issues lie with accuracy, and durability of the movement. From what

help... watch stops on my winder.
Hello. I just acquired an early 2000s Seamaster 120 with caliber 1120 movement. The watch hasn't been serviced according to the previous owner. I will be getting this done sooner than later. Anyway, for Christmas, my wife gave me a Brookstone watch winder which I am now using. On about 1150 revs per day, my Rolex Sub stays perfectly wound and on time. Twice in the past week, I have come to find my Omega stopped on the winder. Both times I have hand wound between 40 and 50 turns. Within 10 or so turns, it starts up. I am afraid that the winder is not winding the watch. Everything I can find says it should be set for 600 to 800 TPD. At 1150 TPD, it is stopping. On a caliber 1120 movement, how many turns by hand is a full wind? I just assumed 40 to 50. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
