Vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille - Winder
Hi all,I just got my grandfather's Seamaster back from the Omega Boutique in NYC after a full restore - no polish. Watch looks amazing and proud to be wearing for many reasons. I'd like to keep it on a winder and was curious if anyone knew the appropriate TPD and direction? Judging by the inscriptions on the back is dated 1971, retirement gift from the city. Omega wrote what I believe is the serial # 10517XX but not 100% positive that is the actual SN. Picture attached. The in-house watchmaker at the boutique gave an answer of four hours that was no help.Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

First Grand Complication! Ref. 5140P
Much has been written on TRF and other forums about this reference. Among things I've seen discussed have been the following:It's too big.It's too small.The dial is too busy.It's too hard to read.The 27 and 5 on the date subdial has a different font.Not much love for the blue dialEtc.Well, as a proud second owner of this gorgeous 5140P, allow me to share my thoughts by responding to each of the above niggles point by point. At 38mm, I find the case size perfect. Maybe it's not for everybody's wrist, but for mine, it's perfect! The dial is extremely readable, which says a lot because my eyesight is terrible. Its readability is especially amazing when you consider how much info this perpetual calendar packs into such a compact space. The sleek profile of the 240 Q really makes the watch. I love the calibre.Regarding the fonts. The different size numbers that Patek uses to make the dates easy-to-see while at the same time making room for 3 and 9 o'clock subdials is purposeful, it

PAM00421no love?
i have offered my PAM00421 for sale in a very respected high end used watch shop in vienna, at a very reasonable price - simply because i want to concentrate on patek and rolex (no sales pitch here though!!!!!). strangely enough it did not sell yet after three months and the owner of the shop tells me that almost nobody even takes a look at it. i am wondering what is wrong with the model (the watch itself is in perfect state)? is it indicative for the panerai second hand market or just that the gold models are not liked by paneristi? most likely i will take it back again and keep wearing it once in a while, i like the watch....ps: i should add that i bought a patek 5712R which kind of ticks similar boxes to the PAM00241, namely rose gold case on croc strap, brown dial......

newly serviced Exp II running fast
my 16570 came back from the Toronto RSC 4 days ago after a full service. it's running nearly 4 seconds fast / day.i've been wearing it 16 hours / day and have it on a winder overnight.should i give it a few weeks to see if it comes to w/in spec, or should i expect it to be more accurate immediately? i paid for it, i would like the accuracy.

Sea dwellers deep blue serial no issue
Hi. I'm a first time Rolex buyer and I've bought a Rolex sea dweller deep sea blue. The watch is beautiful and everything about it seems authentic even the paperwork with the warranty card. However the serial no of my watch starts with a Y. From what I've seen online Y serial nos were in the year 2002/3 whereas the deep sea blue was launched in 2014. Please help.
