Rubber Strap for my SMPC
Hey guys, just bought and fitted this today. Sorry for the quality of the photo, just a quickie to show the strap.I'm very happy with it as it dresses down the Seamaster a tad which goes better with jeans etc plus I can always put the bracelet back on when needed. For those interested, the strap was bought from an Omega Boutique and is the 98000085 reference number, with Omega pin and buckle ref 94512012.

wobble bent on a 752,000$ Patek Philippe! #Patek Philippe USA
noticed among others that the second hand's axle was bent. Surprising and shocking for that price tag.Thought I could share that sequence with our community to read some opinion/explanation.Cheers.

324 SC Issues
So I went to wind my 5711 Nautilus this morning after a few days of not wearing it (It's been worn and running continuously for months btw) and after 30-40 winds it runs for 10 seconds and stops. I shake it a little to the rotor spinning and nothing. I put the watch on and nothing. So I put it down and come back in 10 minutes and it's running. Needless to say this was not confidence inspiring and now in wondering WTF happened ??! I've still got some warranty left on it but really don't want to send It in for 6 months. Any ideas here or is this normal b/c it doesn't seem normal.

Finally!!! The eagle has landed....
Guys, thank you so much for your comments in my previous post (You know who you are). After a year debating, I am happy to report that as of today, a new PP has joined my collection. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Buying Frustration Vent...
Here's the scenario I find a grail. I have the cash. I'm ready to buy. I talk to the seller first. We agree on a price. Just as I'm about to pay, another buyer appears and offers more. I'm short the additional $300. I lose the watch. It's not the end of the world. I buy a few fun pieces and lick my wounds. I then notice the buyer flashing his new purchase in every forum. Mildly annoyed. Read some of the buyers posts and see that this person is a serial flipper . Nothing wrong with that. Then I notice the serial flipper lists my grail-for a damn bargain-well under what I was willing to pay 2 weeks back....Nice Gent!!!!!!However, my cash is now gone from buying a few fun pieces to cheer myself up. I see the grail sell within minutes. In real time. Drag. I won't get into specifics because it's not anyone's fault and all involved are good people. Timing just wasn't on my side. Vent over :)
