Steel Bracelet or Rubber Diver Strap? Which first?
I've been planning to get a rubber diver strap for my fairly new RO Offshore 42mm Grey Themes, honestly since before I bought it. Same goes for the steel bracelet but I figured I could do that down to road to spice things if ever the honeymoon phase end.So after looking into the parts, the strap, buckle and optional plots, are all more expensive than I'd expected. Although still not exactly near the cost of the bracelet, still significant.I have a couple options for pre-owned bracelets $1500-1800. The rubber strap and buckle brand new will run about $750 plus tax (without plots).So do you veterans and newbies as well, have any advice on which route to take first?Here's my watch for reference. Thanks all! :)

Anybody gotten a "partial maintenance" from an Omega Service Center?
Hey all, I have a few Seamasters that are keeping good time but have an unknown service history. Full overhauls seem unnecessary and I was thinking of going the partial maintenance route for some peace of mind.Has anybody here gotten a partial service from an Omega Service Center, and if so how was your experience/wait time? The cost is significantly lower than a full overhaul, naturally:Thanks! And here's my ragtag band of Seamasters:
New purchase today.
Hey everyone, I picked up a Omega Seadweller PO today. I actually picked it over the SS Rolex Sub Date I was originally looking at. The Sub is a great looking iconic watch, but I already own a couple Rolex and the PO just smiled at me a little more.. For almost half the price, I think it's a great looking watch with an incredible movement. I love the all brushed look of the bracelet, although I do think the Rolex bracelets do have a nicer feel to them, even though i'm very happy with the Omega clasp. The anti glare crystal makes the dial very easy to see at all angles, and even though I was originally going to get the model with the black bezel and the orange 12, 6, 9, after seeing them in person I picked the all black. It's simple yet classy, which is exactly what I was looking for. The orange tip on the second hand still adds a splash of sportiness if that's even a word :) I've only owned my PO for a few hours now, but so far I am extremely happy with it. My GMT-IIc might have to s
Aquanaut 5164 Durability Advice
Aquanaut owners (and even 5164 specifically). What cautions would you have for wearing this watch for everyday use? I wear my SS sub doing just about anything. Swimming in the pool, mowing the grass, running, etc. I'm not concerned with scratches, just movement damage. I understand they are different watches, just how different.Thanks in advance!
