15300 back in the fold
Picked up a mint 15300 this afternoon. I've been in the market for past few months for an h serial white dial 15300 or 26300 ROC but have not had any luck. I decided to go for the black dial today.

15400 Blue now at ADs
Was at Govberg this past weekend, and was told by one of the sales associates that the Blue AP 15400 is now available for order by ADs; that it not a boutique exclusive anymore.Not sure how true it is, but I'll let you all know when I decided to purchase one!

1968 Original Constellation Value?
Since my FrankenSpeedy debacle I would like to own at least one original Omega.So where do you find an original Omega? Well, it found me. Remember, buy the seller. So my best friend says to me I want to sell my Omega, what do you think it is worth?. He bought it brand new in 1968 when he was stationed in Wiesbaden. He has worn it about 40 times and has never had it opened. This is what you would call all original with box and papers. He did change the leather band 25 years ago and even has the receipt for that.If I was to buy it, what should I offer him. It will need a cleaning and overhaul.Sorry some of the pictures rotated when I uploaded them.Thank you for your responses.

My relatively new PO died :(
Well I bought my PO from a local AD less than a year ago and something has gone wrong with the winding mechanism.I wear this watch at least 4 days a week at work and usually it will stop on my days of as my PAM 312 gets all the love.I noticed a couple weeks ago it seemed to be stopping within a day of being taken off. Then a few days ago it would no longer stay on through the night after being worn all day.Now it will wind, but it starts and stops sporadically and the crown will slightly roll back the other direction after being wound.I've sent it in for warranty service, but my dealer says it's a 4-6 week turnaround. Any idea what's wrong? I'm just curious as I won't know for almost two months what happened to it :(It's a 2201.5 I think.

Is the blue 5711 dial much darker than the 5712?
For those who have them I wanted to know if the color is different or the same between these models?On their website the color of the 5711 is much darker than the 5712, personally love both even if I already chose which one I am getting, going monday to see them and order it, according to them around 2 months wait, but that's reasonable next to some Rolex models where you need to wait 4-6 months.When I went to the boutique I hoped to see both with blue dials, but the 5711 was with white dial, can't say I liked it much, and the 5712 was the WG version with silver dial, very beautiful indeed, but I am getting one with steel bracelet.Is the difference seen on these pics due to different light condition or are the dials different?Here's the 2 pics from the PP site where you see a very big color difference.Thanks for your replies 5711_1A_010.png5712_1A_001-3.png
