15300 vs 15450 - both OR
my recent obsession is either of these in OR, on strap, black dial.they are 2mm apart in diameter, but i do like the same-color date wheel on the 450.any owners of either (or both!) so that i can see comparison?would like to see how small the 37mm of the 450 wears relative to the 39mm of the 300.i like the size of my jumbo...so my head tells me the 300 would be preferred (aside from my preference of the same-color date wheel of the 450).however, i have a 36mm day-date in YG on bracelet...and that does feel nice, doesn't feel too small at all.

Scratched my ap...
After about 2 weeks of ownership... Got my first scratch. It being my first AP watch, I am infuriated and sad. But what's happened already happened. Any way to remedy this? Sorry I am new to high end watches. It is a very light and small scratch, not even visible unless seen at the right angle. I googled and found cape cod polish. Is this a yay or nay for the 26320?

ID Vintage Ladies Omega Model Please
One our wedding day, my wife inherited an 18K white gold Omega owned by her deceased mother. The watch had been kept locked in a safe for more than 12 years. The safe was installed in the floor of the house, and after it was opened, it was discovered that the safe had been flooded some time in the previous 12 years. The watch was taken to a local watchmaker, who was able to clean it up, install a vintage Omega movement, and acrylic crystal. He stated that he had the movement and parts on hand because some people are selling the watches to his partner the jeweler, for gold content, and he is able to save the movements, crystals etc. He also stated that although the movement differed slightly from original, it fit perfectly. The Omega logo, as well as any other markings on the dial were lost. We are happy to have the watch not only looking good, but also working again.Does anyone have any idea as to the model name or number and a possible date of manufacture. The back and bracele

Platinum Rolex/18206 and "hollow links"
Hi everyone - longtime reader, have never registered/posted until now.I own a Rolex 18206, all platinum case/President bracelet/bezel, and have been reading about the solid vs hollow links on here for awhile now.Convinced that the 40mm newer platinum Day Dates would be significantly heavier than mine, I recently visited a Rolex AD and asked to see one - and was stunned when it weighed about the same as my pre-2000 36mm.Most of the posts on here refer to the weight difference in steel and gold bracelets for pre/post 2000 watches but I assume the hollow links issue also applies to the platinum models. I assume the minimal-seeming weight difference is simply because platinum is generally heavier/denser?Lastly, my watch is almost 30 years old and the bracelet will eventually need a tune-up - can anyone speak to Michael Young's experience working on platinum President/other platinum bracelets?Thanks much.
