Omega question and concern
I have just purchased an Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Chrono Diver and am trying to find information on what rotation rate/direction I should set my watch winder to?Secondly, when hand winding the watch, it makes a squeaking noise not unlike metal rotating against a rubber gasket. It this typical, or should I have the watch inspected.Thank you for your help.

Pepsi GMT can back from NYC RSC
Got my Pepsi back from the RSC. OMG it looks fantastic!!! I purchased this piece from someone here on TRF who sells preowned Rolex's. I had to send it it, due to the crown needing replaced. I decided to have it serviced anyway, and got it back. The RSC did a fantastic job on it! The watch looks new! I'll have to post some pics of it. Glad I made this purchase. Love my pepsi!

Which pieces better with leather strap?
Hi all,I tried searching but haven't found much direct information on this. Hope you won't mind me posting a new thread asking this.I have been thinking through what to do on a dressier piece with leather strap. Been looking at JLCs and a few others. However, I have seen a few posts about current and older Rolex pieces that could work very well with leather straps making them dressier pieces. I have also seen some Tudor pictures as well.If you have experience with this, please share your experiences and thoughts as to which rolex pieces could work well with leather straps and pictures are always helpful as well! Thanks in advance for any help!
