Quality Issues on new 15400??
Hi all,I bought my 15400OR new last month from a trusted source here and have had some issues with it. Nothing major but definitely something unexpected. 1. I had 2 of the octagonal screws come very loose. I had the tools at home to tighten all of them down where I noticed 2 more were starting to come loose. 2. I was wearing the watch yesterday, and the bar that holds my clasp almost fell out. I noticed the little screw to hold the bar and clasp in place had fallen out. Is this normal? I'm glad the bar didn't slide out completely where my watch would of fallen off my wrist. Who knows what could of happened then. I am hoping the AP Boutique in Beverly Hills can insert the RG screw on site and tighten everything else up.

We Have An Incoming! AP T-3
I feel like this has been a long time coming..These days, AP has really changed their approach. The company is not producing as many limited editions as they used to. I can only assume that cut back was done so when a limited does come out, it will be very special and not another over saturated limited.The materials AP is using now are cutting edge and for good reason to. Rubber is being replaced with ceramic, The classic machined tapisserie dials are starting to be stamped in more and more pieces instead of the classic machined technique. But it's that classic machining technique that gives the dials those textures and depth. I'm sure AP will always revert back to classic techniques, but on the more main stream pieces like offshore models, things are definitely changing. Going forward into the future, AP is taking a direction to make sure things become more and more efficient, that's for sure. But there is something about the older pieces that really make me feel warm and fuzzy insi

Thinking about a Speedmaster...
Well guys this is my first post in the Omega section. As the title says I'm thinking about purchasing a Speedmaster, due to its rich history and my desire for a chrono. This likely wouldn't be for a couple years, but I like to dream. I will be going used on this one to save $$$. I would like to grab the Professional Moonwatch version. My question is what prices should I expect to find, depending how old the watch is, assuming its in average condition? That is, the expected price for a 5, 10, 15, or 20 year old piece, or older. Thanks!
