Question about accuracy of 3120 movement
Please accept my apology if this question has been asked before.I had my 15400 for about a week now. I noticed that it is gaining about +2.5 ~ +3 seconds per day. I would comfortably say that it keeps very accurate time even when compared with my Rolex which is COSC certified.However, for the same movement that is housed inside my Diver, it keeps on gaining over +12 seconds per day, though the official AP website stated that this is an acceptable standard up to +15s.Both 15400 & Diver is not my daily beater and I will keep it on my winder when not worn. Both were set to turn in bi-direction with 650 TPD, so the basic winding environment is same to both.I just wonder why the same movement will perform very differently in different model. Is it due to the design and configuration is very different.Any fellow AP owners have experienced this same situation and can help to share some clues.I'm puzzled, please help. Thanks.

Omega OP: Should it be the next one.
I could use some opinions on my next purchase. I have been looking at the Omega OP (see image below) as my next purchase. I've never had one and never worn/tried one on. The orange has somehow placed me in a trance and I can't get away from the over-all appearance. I'm not wanting a daily wear time piece b/c i already have one love but I am looking to add an additional option for those rainy days. I could really use some good hard opinions from those who actually know about the watch. I plan on putting one on in the next few days from a local AD.

Incoming - Naut-E
Gents,Excited to announce the arrival of my latest. 5711 blue, I know, snore. I had the white dial last year which I ended up flipping to fund another piece. I knew I ultimately had to own a 5711 so for once I practiced a bit of patience and phoned my AD to place a deposit. I was like 3rd in line and waited about 6 months. The dial is a real beauty - stating the obvious. It's just more dynamic than the white. I'll overlook the date surround just to gaze at the dial. I've also owned the 15202 - that dial can't standup either IMHO. Enjoy some pics
