Omega quality question.
My jeweler was telling me that he doesn't like the Seamaster because he says the stem can break easily. He has had to replace some in the past. Has anyone had problems with these before?Thanks,Scott

Trade SMP for Speedy Pro?
My first luxury watch was the SMP black dial James Bond. I've since bought a Rolex sub and don't see the point of owning two dive watches. The Omega still has sentimental value, being my first real watch. It also looks better (IMO) and feels more substantial than the sub. Nonetheless, I'm considering trading it out for a speedy pro. I don't particularly like the looks of the moonwatch. I honestly don't think it will get much wrist time. However, it has history, just like the submariner, so I think it would be a good trade for my slowly growing collection. I'm just wondering what you guys think? Stick with my first love? Or go with the collectible?
