New acquisition, need help.
So today I took in a watch for partial payment. It is an omega ladies 14k white gold watch. I have tested the gold and know it is real. The watch is not currently running but I think it, with a good spa treatment, work and be nice again. Pictures are below but incase you can't read the markings they are as follows: inside of case back has triangle with omega symbol and omega watch co underneath that is 14k goldThen aa8928 and the case sn after that. Movement: omega watches seventeen 17 jewels. Swiss unadjusted the omega symbol and 484 ( movement #) and a movement sn.Thanks in advance! I believe that this is from the mid to late 60s as I know the movement didn't come about until 63 and I found one similar but in yellow gold with an earlier sn from 1966.

40 year old life reflection
In a few short months I will be 40 years old and it may me realize how short life really is. I decided to get myself a 5970r. I remember just a short 15 years ago I graduated school with no money and $200,000 in student loan debt. Just 7 ears ago I purchased my first very nice watch a Zenith Chronomaster GT for 6K and I had a nervous breakdown and anxiety for several weeks. Over the years I purchased ands sold many watches until I realized it was Patek was my real love. Interestingly this purchase did not cause me any anxiety or even excitement it just felt right. I remember I was in lover the 5970r the first time I saw it years ago and I remember thinking what kind of person would spend that much money on a watch? This year I visited the Patek Museum and the really got to appreciate the perpetual chronograph and decided that I should have the watch I always wanted. How much longer will I really be on this earth. I hope my purchase inspires you to purchase the watch you always wanted.

RubberB strap on Panerai
Hi all,For some reason I feel my OEM rubber strap doesn't do a good job and my pam is always off balance. Wondering if anybody had experience with rubberb straps, I don't know why they are $100 more expensive than the OEM Panerai

WG Blue SkyD vs SS Blue SkyD - Wider SS Oyster Bracelet Makes them look different
I know there are a lot of people who don't understand why anyone would purchase the WG version when the SS version is half the price...and the watches look the same.I have stated before that looks are just one aspect.The heft and feel of the WG version is completely different and at least to me, something that gives me great pleasure over the SS one.And of course, when you look at SS vs WG vs PT..they do look different...same color white but different hues and tones as to be identifiable to a trained eye but of course not easily detectable by the public.As I stated, I am fine with that.But, there is actually a difference between the WG and SS model in terms of appearance.The newer SS model has a newly designed oyster bracelet that fits into the lugs a little wider than the PM versions. It actually looks nicer than the PM bracelet.So, as with dial color etc on other models when it comes to SS vs PM.....the SkyD may have the same dial color and sticks between the SS and PM model.....but
