Cheers to Omega Customer Service.......
I own an Omega Seamaster Professional 300M, ref # 2254.50 that I have had for several years and purchased from its original owner to bought it from an Omega AD in 2003. The watch was serviced by the original owner in 2006 thru Omega AD ben Bridge and one in my possession it was serviced by Omega thru Omega AD Traditional jewelers. The watch has always run +1 sec a day while in my possession.I use the watch as a modern beater when I do not want to wear a vintage Rolex but still want a nice timepiece on my wrist.I listed the watch for sale here in TRF classifieds a couple weeks ago. After posting the listing I got the watch out, wound it and wore it for a day, intending to wear it for a couple days to confirm the accuracy or change my ad if accuracy had changed. Accuracy had not changed but there was something clearly loose and rattling inside the watch when it was shaken.Not able to sell the watch in that condition I took it back to Traditional Jewelers, explained my concern and asked t

Jomashop - PAM01392
Hi, I'm in the market for a new watch and like the Panerai PAM01392. In the UK they are $7000 but Jomashop have them for $5550. I'm based in the UK but a US friend could bring it over for me. Whats the feedback on Jomashop? How do they sell for so much less the AD?

Sub 14060 vs 14060M
OK I have decided to replace my black bay. I can't decide between a 14060 or a 14060M with 2 line text. The M seem to be about 1k dearer. Any thoughts on if it's worth the extra money for the modified movement? I guess 1k isn't a big deal if it's guna be more collectable or hold value better. But on the other hand 1700 out of pocket after the Tudor sells vs 2700, kinda hard to swallow. Also, there are a couple places selling serviced watches for a premium vs say 600 less for a watch due for servicing(or unknown last service). Do you think it's better to get an unserviced watch and have it done myself or get one turn key. Financially kind of a wash but servicing wouldn't be done by my choice of locations. This will be my first Rolex purchase. A no date sub is kinda my attainable grail watch.Any other advice on this purchase appreciated. Turtle!!!!20170411_111309 by Norcalkid, on Flickr
