Thoughts on the speedmaster mark 2 and 4
Hi guysLooking to pick up a nice vintage piece, either a speedmaster 2 or 4. Now I know they don't have the iconic status of the original but I quite like the retro look seventies look (basically I'm a sucker for seventies omega sports watches :-) ) What's do you guys thinkMark 2Mark 4Alternatively I might be able to get hold of a chrono-quartz, tryed one of these on recently and it was awesome, big and surprisingly solid for a seventies watch (my missus hated it but sure she will come around to liking it...actually pro ably not), but it's a quartz from the seventies, not sure about how much longer it will last!! Quite a layout for a watch that might last a month !

14060 just back from Rolex NY
A few years ago I posted a story about a 14060 Submariner that I had bought for my father for his 60th birthday in 2002. My father passed away tragically in 2015 and I received the watch back. My father had not done a thing to the watch in 13 years. I have had it ever since and only wore it sparingly. I knew it needed a service and the hands had luminous material flaking off.I sent the watch to Rolex via Registered mail (took a week from MA to NY) right before the holidays, and it sat for a week while Rolex was closed for the holidays. I had called Rolex to check on the status and to ask for another link etc. I was told that they were behind and plan on about 4 weeks.Tuesday I received a call from Rolex that the watch was ready and would ship overnight on Wednesday for Thursday delivery. I was thrilled. The watch arrived a few minutes ago from Fedex....and today happens to be my father's birthday, so it was exactly 16 years ago to the day that I presented the Submariner to him.Th

Is this Rolex defective?
Quick question about the screw down crown on a DateJust 41. When I unscrew it it turns counterclockwise. Now when I go to turn it clockwise to wind it the crown kind of pops out a bit more. It does not do this every time. So turning it counterclockwise does not always get it it to the wind position and it jumps out a bit more when I start to wind it. Does it about 35% of the time.This is tough to explain in typing but what I am trying to say is a new watch's crown sticking like this a bit just a matter of it being new? Again it does not do it every time but it is brand new from an AD from earlier today.

Am I crazy? Trading a 116710 to go back to a 16610
Hi Everybody, wondering if anyone else has gone from a GMT Ceramic or SubC back to the older versions. I'm thinking of making this trade (hopefully with some cash coming my way).I originally traded a 16610 for the 116710 last Fall and have been missing my old Sub ever since. I'm thinking that means I need to go back.
