Artya Arabesque Tourbillon Watch
Yvan Arpa's Artya watches once again debuts a surprise piece unique model at the upper end of what we might expect from the boutique Geneva-based Swiss "art watch" maker. Rather than deforming a watch case with high voltage electricity or decorating a dial with spiders, insect wings, or human blood, we get the Artya Arabesque Tourbillon that is decorated with hand-engraving. What type of hand engraving? Arabesque engravingand they threw in a tourbillon.While timepieces such as this are rare for Artya, they aren't totally unheard of either. Moreover, Yvan Arpa has plenty of experience with extremely high-end watches. Just a few years ago, watches-dealer covered another brand he is involved with called Spero Lucem, with the "crazy hands" La Clemence tourbillon minute repeater. We also went hands-on with the Artya Son of a Gun Tourbillon watch here. For summer 2015, we now have the Artya Arabesque Tourbillon, and according to Yvan Arpa it is inspired by the Wild West.So much of the design

Omega seamaster Uss
New to Omega! Just got a a vintage USS omega seamaster(78) bought it for 150$ (Hopefully a good deal) it has the cal. 1010 movement which my watchmaker guy told me. I really don't care for the Uss logo since I didn't work there, do you guys think I should leave the dial be or swap it for another repainted eBay dial? Will that hurt the value?

If these where literally your only choices
Which would you go for if these were your only first watch choices? Just focus on these two only, do not consider other Rolex models or dial variations.The Rolex OP39 Rhodium dial OR Date Just 2, smooth bezel, blue roman dial

Yachtmaster Bezel Tarnish?
I am very interested in buying a TT Yachtmaster. However, I would like to know other's opinion and/or clarification/experience with what appears to be a common tarnish/grime buildup on the unpolished portion of the bezel (within the nooks and crannies). Nearly every image of the watch that I see in new or factory/unworn condition spotlights this issue. It is basically a deal-breaker for me if this is the norm for this model, Thanks.
