Looked at the Speedmaster 9300...
and there were two things that I noticed. First, when I pulled the crown out to adjust the time, I saw that the seconds hand in the left sub-dial would jump and move about 10 seconds forward as I turned the crown and didn't quite return to its original position. Then I put the minute hand exactly at the 12 o'clock position and saw that the hour hand did not line up exactly with any of the hour markers. It was only slightly off, but this was especially noticeable when I put the time to 12 o'clock where the hour hand seemed one minute ahead I where it should have been. The watch was new in the display case, but I didn't ask the sales lady about it as this was at a jewelry store and she started off our conversation by saying that she didn't know all that much about watches. Has anyone else noticed this in the 9300 Speedie? I'm just starting to learn about watches and automatic movements, but it seems to me that a watch in this price range shouldn't have this problem. Thanks.

New Speedmaster 9300 Incoming...
Can't wait!

Uh oh, the Speedy is starting to grow on me . . .
Well, after saying that my new Planet Ocean is my last Omega (for the time being), I now find myself looking at the Speedmaster. I originally thought that the Planet Ocean would be my last major watch purchace for the next 5-10 years. However, with everyone saying the moon-watch black faced speedy is the legend' of Omega, and a watch collection cannot be complete without one, etc. this even farther sparked my interest. I currently own two Seamasters (the 2531.80, and the PO), but I've never really seen a Speedy in real life, just in pictures on the net. I've never really thought about getting one, for a few BIG reasons (IF I were to get one, it would hands down be the one everyone suggests, the original moon watch) 1. It's a manual wind 2. Plastic/easily scratched face3. People do NOT recommend swimming with it 4. NO DATE 5. no screw-down crown the list goes on. However, the more I read into the posts of those that highly recommend getting one to at least have in your collection, the m

Probably buying my first and only Patek today. Looked at tons of Calatravas and these two are finalists. Aside from my aesthetic preferences, which I know has to be the final judge, is there anything I should know about comparing these two? It's from a reputable vintage dealer. Many, many thanks!!!

Prediction: Tudor will release a customization site
Perfect brand for it. They can let the consumer build their own Black Bay or Pelagos. Maybe even chose logo on the dial. They would smoke IWC in this. Just wish they offered a 38mm Black Bay!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
