Another clock thread...
Took these pics on the weekend but didn't get a chance to resize them until tonight. Package was sent to me from Hong Kong to Toronto, so there were a few extra photos of the unboxing required. I'm also hoping to acquire a few more of the same to put together different time zones. Looking for 3 rather than 4 though (even though I'm not superstitious!). Thanks again Roger :).

CK2998. It's here!
Hey, Omega gang!Happy to say my watch arrived last Friday! Super busy week, as I was fortunate enough to also get my hands on a white Daytona C, as I posted in the last few days over at the Rolex section.Being a sucker for blue, I think this one is just gorgeous. Granted, it's not a faithful rendition of the original, but rather a piece inspired by the CK2998 from the past. Regardless, the result looks so nice that I really don't mind the mere throwback nature of this LE.My local AD was great and I got a nice swag package as well. The cherry on top, though, was that he gave me two tickets to watch the Olympic soccer quarter-finals between Germany and Portugal as an Omega guest. Now THAT WAS AWESOME didn't wear the CK, but had my SM300 on to honor the invite.Anyways, here are some pics of it all!

My first Rolex purchase....
Hello all, I'm a city public school teacher, run a couple non-profits where I mentor youth, and I grind the 1/2 and 2/5 seen in holdem and pot limit omaha. The first two pay me spiritually, and the later has been good the last couple months, so I have found it's time to fill the poker grinder stereotype and get a nice watch since card rooms never have a clock.Below is my first potential Rolex purchase. I know a little less about Rolex watches than I do kangaroo birth, so much so that I had to type Rolex watches because I can't figure out the plural of Rolex. Can't be the guy who says shrimps, am I right? *pics removed*The person claims that it needs the mainspring fixed on the second hand.My questions are:Does it seem legit?Who should I bring it to to fix it? Any watch smith or do they need to specialize in Rolexessss's?What would a fair used price be for this?Thanks for anyone who reads this!--

FHH, a foundation Rolex is not part of
I thought this might be interesting to know and read. In 2005 a Foundation of Haute Horlogerie (FHH) was founded in Geneva. The FHH was founded in autumn 2005 by Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux and the Richemont Group. The Foundation is committed to the needs of the historical heritage of Haute Horlogerie. Its assignment is to emphasize the art and skill of their craft through intensive public relations and to develop solutions for industry-wide problems such as the lack of young people or product piracy.Reasons why Rolex is not part of this are propably very simple. Rolex is not haute horlogerie in Swiss mind, it is everyday allday watch. Other reason might be that fee's of memberships in company unions are mostly based on turnover and volume. Rolex being bigger than all the other members together, it does not make sense to join and pay over half of the total fees.Here is a link:https://.hautehorlogerie.org/en/
