Serial flipper- have I gone too far?!
Hi all, firstly I would like to say hi and express my gratitude and appreciation to all contributors to this forum- you have provided me with many hours of inspiration, advice and most importantly, allowed me to admire your many beautiful timepieces.I find myself in a bit of a dilemma and would greatly appreciate some honest advice- I promise I can handle it :)I have always been a serial flipper and over the years have been slowly upgrading towards my 'grail'.Having gone through a few watches, I stumbled and fell in love with the Deepsea. Although large, I felt really comfortable with the size and before long decided to go for a Panerai- the 47mm 194. I absolutely loved this watch and it wasn't much longer the Rolex had to go and my second Pam came along- another sub, the 225. This is really where the problems started. Although the same dimensions as the 194, for some weird reason, I felt it a little too big and started to become a little bit self conscious, therefore not giving it muc

Pull the Trigger?
I have a chance to obtain a ceramic diver at 14,800 US. To be honest, I don't love the watch. If I bought it, I'd likely just trade it for a 15202st ultra thin via this forum. What would you guys do in this situation? Are the two watches of relative similar value where I could do this trade easily? To be honest, I'm a bit hesitant with member to member trades. Curious to see other people's experience here.

Down To Two AP's
Hi Guys & Gals !Here is my new addition. I got rid of the 15400 blue because the dial was too simple for my taste and I was longing for the epic AP bracelet. Hopefully the chrono dial with the great looking pushers will do the trick. I do miss the AP blue but couldn't source one. I am happy with the black face which is almost slate grey in certain light. My other AP left is the Rose Gold Rubber Clad. I've always thought any watch collection is incomplete without a yellow gold piece. I've had a 36MM Rolex president, Hublot Big Bang but nothing compares to AP gold. The copper in it really distinguises the gold and the weight of the watch is like nothing else. I was hesitant at first because of the rubber bezel and pushers but it works overall with the rubber band. Here are the pics.

Seamaster Professional case backseal
Just wondering what the position is re the case back seal. I have had the back off to regulate my SMP and would like to know if I need to exchange the o-ring for a new one each time the case back is removed? Got it running to within a second or two a day and the same over the course of a week with the occasional winder down position over night.I am not planning on diving, perhaps the occasional holiday swim. I have tightened up the case back with reasonable force, just seeking opinions before getting wet!Is it also worth changing the stem seal(s), is this a DIY job? If so does one release the stem with the winder in the winding or adjusting position? I assume there is some sort of detent spring that releases the stem. Does it simply re-insert? Am I out of my league and should I just give it to an AD.Also seem to be having a little trouble finding a OEM case seal in the UK (case ref 168.1622) by searching the web, are these seals fairly universal or do I need a genuine Omega one?

Super Jubilee on BLNR
When I see this combo I honestly think it's gorgeous. Takes the BLNR to a whole new level. Photo courtesy of Loevhagen. Three questions. Can this bracelet be purchased in the US apart from the watch? How much? Does it fit exactly as it should or is there improper spacing between the lugs? Thanks.
