removing buckle from AP novelty
Hey everyone, So I recently bought a white rubber strap for my AP 44mm novelty. I also bought a AP bands changing tool, and I was able to easily remove and reattach the straps. Where I ran into problems was with removing the buckle. Anyone has any advice on this?I followed these instructions:.watchprosite/?page=wf...803&pi=6846988But was not able to remove the buckle no matter how hard I pushed it

Does this movement look mouldy?
I was wondering if this looks like mould to any of you guys.. it's a vintage sea master and I'm not too experienced with these and am wondering if there is anything about this that would be alarming to anyone in the know. Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please help in identifying vintage Omega
Hi guys. Just getting in to high end watches and don't know much about Omegas. I was able to buy a Rolex 1550 at a great price and now I have the bug. I found the watch pictured below at a shop while visiting my parents. I took a pic discreetly to not show I was interested. It looks like a sea master, although it doesn't say it on the dial like they do. Comes with original inner and outer box. The outer box even has the original price tag on it. I tried searching what I believe is the reference number in google but couldn't find much. Back of the box said Omega 6028R/3 17jOne pic below. Any info would help

Let's talk about 5270
Hi TRF,Please share your thought about 5270G blue dial. What do you like and dislike about this watch?For me, it's just perfect. I love it since Basel world 2014.The chin at 6 o'clock or other changed details don't bother me at all.The only thing that me think again and again is markers and hands. From the pics in the internet, markers and hands are not contrast with the dial. Sometime it's easy to read time, sometime it's not. Anyway, I need to see it again to make final decision.Should I go for it or there are other Pateks more interest to buy?What do you think?Thank you guys.

Grail watch dilemma
I'm new to the watch collecting game and I recently picked up a couple a new explorer 1 back in December of last year and more recently a sub nd in February - both to mark significant milestones. I sneaky wear the Explorer at work under the sleeve and the sub is my weekend warrior. I love these watches to bits - I think they are close to perfect and am super happy with them. But I would like one more to complete my Rolex collection �C a BLNR - even though I bought 2 watches from my local AD they more or less told me to forget about getting one until at least next year and then they 'would see' what they can do for me.Under normal circumstances I would not be in a hurry to get this watch - but understanding that my local AD is my best shot and is really just blowing me off like this (even after me buying 2 watches recently) makes me realise that it's going to be difficult to get my hands on one some time in the foreseeable future...If I wait for my AD, it might get discontinued in that t
