What can you tell me about my Seamaster?
I inherited it from my father 5 years ago. It was his daily beater. He probably bought it in the late 50s and, knowing him, it was pre-owned. The crystal is cracked. The stem winder is pulled out and lost. Is it worth repairing, from a strictly financial point of view? It is solid gold and has the original strap. If I shake it it will run for a bit, so it's not in a hopeless condition.

Fake? Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 Limited Edition?
I found a good deal on an Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 Limited Edition white-dial watch, the seller does not have all the papers thus selling for less than it would go for with the papers... BUT, I wanted to know what I needed to look for to determine if its indeed a fake or a real one?Thanks!

My new Patek (not quite!)
He loves his 5711 too.

New Day Date & Stick/Lume question
Took me a while to get round to it, but finally posting about a new (BNIB with stickers) day date I acquired at the end of last year. It's a white gold 118209 that I'd wanted for a while, and had to give up my 3-watch SS rolex collection to get it (together more cash than I would have liked to make up the difference) but absolutely no regrets so far, and it's a watch I hope to wear for very long while. It's from around 2008 so has the newer bracelet/engraved rehaut but when I decided to change out the dial from silver to black, I ended up going with with the older stick/baton dial design, rather than the newer dials that have lume as markers. This may seem an odd choice to some but I had a old 5 digit datejust for about 10 years and there's something I really like about the classic/timeless style of the old stick dials, and also given the watch itself is white gold I though why not be consistent. Saying that I do like the presence/stronger impact of the lume on the newer dials too. J
