Legacy / Birthyear Watch
So, my first child (boy) is scheduled to arrive this coming October. *my avatar does not accurately reflect how I feel about it*Anyway....I was thinking of getting a birth-year watch to mark the occasion. Something that would be special, that I can enjoy for a while before I pass along to my son when he comes of age. The only caveat being that I would want to acquire it by October (so no extremely hard to get watches). I was thinking of the TT CHNR to mark the occasion and have as the heirloom (talked to my AD and am confident I can source by October). Just posting to hear about other members' birth-year watch stories. Also to gather some alternative opinions to the TT CHNR (maybe non-Rolex)? *my current collection is in my signature* Muchisimas gracias

Painting a dial?

Bought it...sold it......regretted it.....and bought it again

I indicated to the seller that I wasn't happen about this and they refunded me the equivalent of the cost of a polish. OK, not great, but cheaper than posting it back (from Australia).My main issue now and something I would like the opinion of any experts here is when I received the watch, I wound it, around 30 times. Nothing happened, I shook it gently, still nothing, wound it again, then it started running. So I then set it to the exact time here in Melbourne and kept a close eye on it. Later that day, it had lost half an hour. Ok, so I wound it again, set it to exact
