Omega SMP - First Service after 16 years
Got a recommendation for an Omega UK service centre off a member of another forum I frequentMy trusty Omega SMP started to run 5 min's fast every few days so after 16 years - it was time for its first serviceThe cost of the service was 25% less than I was quoted from 2 high street ADs plus the recomendation from somebody who had used before - was good newsI put it in for a movement only service - no polishing\ no cosmetic refinish. Reason being if I wanted a new looking smp - why not buy a new one. All the scratches over 16 years (& there's not that many too be honest) all mean something & add up to what the watch means to me\ been with me over the yearsAnyway - took about 5/ 6 weeks & arrived back last Thursday.Well packaged on returnOmega service pouch inside the hard plasticj boxmore bubble wrap inside the pouchFinally ..........Should have wiped the dust from the watch before the final pic. No marks on the glass - just dustNot had off my wrist since !!

Alternative to 5167
I love the Aquanaut and will own one some day, but I've been looking at the GO Seventies Panorama Date which is about half the price of the 5167 and has many similarities IMO. I'm not going to say that the GO is nearly as amazing a watch as the 5167, but it is still a wonderful piece. And the gray dialed GO on rubber especially seems very similar to the Aquanaut IMO. Similar case shape, simple design, sporty yet classy aesthetic, very versatile. Am I crazy in thinking that the two pieces are similar? Do you guys think it's a worthy alternative for some time until I decide to move into a much higher price range which the PP is in? Thanks guys.Sent from my Nexus 7 using TapatalkPics from the interweb

Watchmakers International recommendation
A few months back my 14060M Submariner was knocked off of my counter and the 7 O'Clock marker dislodged from the face. I contacted Rolex, and I thought the lead times of 12-16 weeks and cost for a replacement dial (they said they wouldn't repair the current dial and a mandatory service was non-negotiable) were a little unreasonable.I'm not very experienced with Rolex repairs nor am I a serious collector, so I came here for recommendations and Bod Ridley at Watchmakers International was sent over by a number of members.I contacted them, and their service was beyond excellent. After a phone call with Philip Ridley, I sent it in and had the watch back in 9 days with a new main spring, service, and repaired dial.I'm very grateful for their assistance getting the only watch I care about back on my wrist in a timely manner, and thought I would share the experience.
