Illuminating dial markers/hands
Hello all,Just to share a piece of info I picked up along the way and invite any similar experiences.I recently found out that if your hour markers/hands on your omega are becoming dull or almost non existent you can apparently re-charge them by shining a bright light into the face for a few seconds.I have tried with a bright torch (only thing I could think of to do the job) which did brighten the dials up a bit but did not seem to make any permanent improvement.Has anyone else got any experience or similar tips ?As always feedback greatly appreciated.Paul

In defense of the Patek E23 (on ref. 3747)
I own the 3747 and love it. Yes, it's a Quartz and not mechanical. Frankly, I don't care. The watch itself is gorgeous (I'm getting it serviced by Patek now and have ordered a navy blue stitched alligator strap which I'll post once I have the watch back). I also love the date function, which unfortunately is missing on the new Golden Ellipse models. Couple of reasons why I purchased this watch: A. Did I say it's gorgeous? I know it's more expensive than other Quartz watches, but the quality and aesthetics of this piece are, quite frankly, unmatched. B. I don't have to wind it - ever.C. It tells me the perfect time - every day.D. The service costs are considerably more cheaper.E. I can put it away and wear my Audemars automatic watch for weeks and know that when I pick up the Patek, it will be running (assuming of course the battery doesn't need to be replaced ;))If Patek ever comes out with a GE with a date function in an automatic movement, I could consider upgrading. Until then, this

Seeing before buying
Hi everyone,I've been trying to compare a 5167 or a 5711. I know the blue 5711 is ridiculously hard to come by and the white 5711 is also quite scarce in stores (but a shorter wait list). The discussion comes up quite frequently about comparing the two and everyone's preferences, but one thing I have been struggling with recently is actually trying to see these in person and finding which looks best on me.I've seen tons of pictures (thanks to everyone on this amazing forum!) and would definitely love to purchase my first Patek, but I have a hard time deciding on one of these watches before actually getting to see and compare them in person and trying them on. I went to my local Patek dealer this weekend and called an out-of-state one I visited a couple of months ago. Neither unfortunately had any of the three in stock. While traveling, I've tried to visit local dealers who always tell me the 5711 is a wait list item that I'll never get to see in stores.Any advice on getting to see a &g

Sub C or Sea Dweller 16600
I have been looking for the next watch to add to my current rotation and have narrowed it down to the Sub C (have not decided date or no date) or the Sea Dweller 16600. I know this has been asked before but I did not see anything recent when I searched. I like the idea of the updated bracelet and the glidelock clasp but I love the looks of the 16600. For those that have or have had both, what are your thoughts? Thanks for your input, below is a picture of my current rotation Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
