8500 movement service
The 8500 movement has been out several years now. Has anyone had the movement fail or otherwise needed to send it back for service? Just wondering what the service interval might be.

EXTREMELY upset!!!
My friend has several Rolexes that he takes to a place where they fix watches to get his watches sized and what not. Instead of taking it to the AD that charges 25, yes 25!!! to get sized he told me to take it to his friends watch place who will only charge 3. so I did got it sized (removed 2 links) when I got the watch back on the sides of the links and around the area where the links were removed are scratched up and even have a few nicks in some areas on the side and back of some of the nearby links, even the clasp has a scratch on the side. what kind of half ass job was that?????? I didn't notice till after I got home. Not only that but it seems on one of the link holes they put their own pin in there. I am furious!!! So now the clasp has a small scratch on it, the links on either side of the clasp (the small one connecting it to the main links and the ones that are directly connected to the clasp) have dings and scratches on either side. As for the other links I dont care because

Omega vs. Rolex???
Gentlemen, I'm new to the high end watch market. I just got a new job and have a new baby on the way (our first). To celebrate I was planning on buying a new watch. I'm considering the Planet Ocean Chrono ref 2210.51.00 or the Rolex GMT IIc. Do you guys have any input on which is the better movement. Or in general which is the better watch overall. And finally where to buy and be the best price. Thanks everyone. I appreciate the input.

Occasionally an Omega sale comes along . . .
and my fAD wanted everyone to know that he has some select models available. Most are ladies models but a few mens watches have some tempting prices; i.e., 50th Anniversary Speedy Pro, Alaska Project, Schumacher, JFK, etc.I do not have a list of models or prices so you will have to call.Fr. John?
