Speedmaster 3523.30
Hello TRF! I bought this Omega Speedmaster 3523.30 in 2004 at an AD in Asia and was wondering what it's worth. I don't have the original boxes, but do have the warranty card, pictogram card and the cream colored leather card holding sleeve. The watch itself is in excellent condition, I did wear it as a daily wear for a while but was very careful. Ebay was kind of everywhere on pricing, some even called it a rare find . I could not find anything in the classified section of TRF. Any insight or guide to a site that may shed some light would be greatly appreciated!

Best way to store an auto movement
Not necessarily a Rolex topic. But what is the safest or best way to store an automatic? I wear my hulk on the weekends. During the week I have it in a winder. If I decide to store it longterm, what would be good for the movement? If it's on a winder, then the movement is continually running. Would this wear the parts down and still need a servicing after 5 or more years. I've also heard some pull the crown out in the hacking position to stop the movement but I would think this would be bad for the spring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
