Hands-On with the Padron Selby
A couple of years ago, we put a piece together about Padron Watch Company, a one-man show out of Minneapolis. Leo Padron, said one-man, welcomed us into his watch making studio, where he designs and assembles his line of affordable and unique watches (yes, he's a watch maker). It's worth a read to learn a bit more about the man and his brand. At the time, he was just finishing up a successful Kickstarter campaign for his Tessera timepieces, one of several such projects. Now, he is currently at the end of yet another successful campaign for an update to the Tessera, named the Selby.What caught my about this watch, all of Padron's watches for that matter, was that it's totally his own vision. His watches are unique and almost bizarre, and while not for everyone, have an undeniable charm. Furthermore, in a sea of watches that seem to be slight variants on an idea or two, his bold designs are a nice change of pace. The Selby was actually the most low key of the bunch, in my eyes. Gone were

Omega service centers
I was wondering what service center on the West coast do people send their watches? In reviewing the thread above it lists Walter Gooden, Inc in Los Angeles, but they are no longer listed as a service center on Omega's website. I have a Seamaster that needs servicing. Or should I take it to my local Omega store and have them send it in? Thanks for the help.

Screw down crown issue
Ok this issue has been happening for a while now on my 2254.50. Let me see if I can explain. What would happened is I thought the threads on the crown or crown tube were cross threaded because all I could turn the crown was about 1/4 to 1/2 turn. I take it to a local watch matcher and he installs a new crown and crown tube. First time I don't like how it sounds when I turn the crown to tighten so he looks at it again. Within a few days it is doing it again, 1/4 turn and tight and it did not seem to pop out to position 1. So I take it back, he orders another crown and installs it. This time it is a crown with a satin finish, he says that is what Omega sent him. At first it will turn 1 to 1 1/2 turns to tight then within a few days it is doing it again, 1/4 turn and tight. This watch maker is an hour away. I had been back and forth several times. So I said I will order the parts and see what I can do.I know another local watch maker that is an authorized Rolex repair. So I order a new cr

DateJust 41 blue
I am thinking of making the Datejust 41 Blue my next watch to save for. I am curious if any current owners of it have tried wearing it on a nice brown leather strap. If so, pics would be great to see. It’s a beautiful watch as is but I think a brown leather strap is either going to look amazing or horrible.
