Date Issue on Speedmaster
I've recently been having an issue with the date function on my Speedmaster date. It changes the date at 8:48pm as opposed to after midnight. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks

Pretty bummed about a vintage Omega
Folks,So my father recently gave me a circa 1950's Omega that has been handed down from my grandfather to my pops and now to me. It's a pretty cool watch, plastic domed crystal, stick hour markers, no date and a nicely patina'd dial that is a yellowish gold hue. The case is stainless but does not have any markings of the model. So I have no idea what it actually is? Unfortunately it isn't running so I took it to my favorite AD where I buy most of my watches and asked them to take a look.I get a call today and the watchmaker gave me some unfortunate news, aparentely the balance is pretty much out of commission and the movement needs some work. Long story short, they quoted me a $700 dollar estimate to fix it as it needs some parts and labor. They also informed me maybe I can find a movement and swap it out. Once I get the watch back I can post some pictures to get some thoughts on it. I should have it back Friday.Just thought I would share my disappointment.

Where to get my omega polished?
Hi, I was wondering where to go for polishing and removing some scratches on the case? Can I go to any Omega AD to do this? or does it have to be the place I bought it? Thank you

DayDate40 or 5711a?
I understand that this is the Patek sub forum, so many will probably say 5711a, however a bit of background to provide context:-My AD (and longtime friend) believes he will be able to get me a 5711a white dial sometime this year. Nothing written in stone and of course with the current crazy market and shortages, it may or may not happen. The DayDate40 would be yg with sliver deconstructed romans. -This would be for my wife, she did not really know much about watches before meeting me, now she's just as enthusiastic about them as I am.-She currently wears a 116613 two tone blue submariner as her daily watch, and also has a Cartier santos, which is also two tone. -She has always liked the 5711, ever since I showed a picture to her many years ago, however we were not in the position to buy back then. She also really likes the DayDate and has tried it on numerous times. She has tried on a 5711r, but has never seen the 5711a in person.-We both wear our watches everyday and try not to baby t
