Omega service repair experience
Just wanted to share some of my experience.My wife has a fairly new Aqua Terra with the new 8520 movement. Its very rarely worn. The winding mechanism seemed to fail whereby manual winding would catch on the rotor making it difficult to wind. I guess it shouldn't.Anyway, we gave it to the Omega boutique here in Hong Kong. It went through a local check with the watch master in Hong Kong, and then later it went to headquarters for a full repair. The whole time we did not receive a telephone call to update us of the status until it was ready for pickup. It took a full two months.When we picked up the watch, the sales gave very little input as to what was wrong or what was done to the watch. There was a little report, which I asked to keep but was not allowed to. It showed that the gasket was replaced, but surprisingly much of the comments were written in Chinese - so I wonder if this was the master report from Switzerland. Being COSC certified, it kind of irks me a little knowing

My first Rolex - Submariner Date 116610LN
Greetings. I just got into watch collecting this past year and finally pulled the trigger on the Sub Date this past weekend. It's the best all-around watch. I love the bracelet is all brushed so it will wear well with fewer scratches than polished links, etc. I'm afraid I won't want to wear my other watches for some time now. :) And I got a small discount at an area AD where others didn't even have in stock, so I feel confident in my purchase. Happy to be a part of the Rolex family now! :)

5 tick maxi dial
Hi all,Considering making my first Rolex purchase after a couple years of Omegas. Can someone please clarify: is the LV definitively the only Rolex ever that has the glossy, white gold surrounds, maxi dial with the 5 ticks Swiss made? I'm sure with all the Rolex knowledge on this forum, this can be concluded. Thanks!
