Omega Speedmaster Pro 3572.50 - The Eagle has Landed
I sold my 3570.50 about 6 months ago and was missing it. I think the Speedmaster is one of the handful of watches that every collector needs to have in his collection. Like the Submariner, it is timeless.When the opportunity came up to acquire another one, it just happened to be the discontinued 3572.50. I believe it was around 2002 that Omega discontinued the 3572 in favor of the 3573 (also known as the sapphire-sandwich). The changes were the introduction of the sapphire crystal instead of hesalite and also the inscription on the caseback that was changed from First Watch on the Moon to First and Only Watch on the Moon.One thing I have noticed is that the 3572 has a bracelet that tapers to the clasp, and the clasp doesn't have the push-button release like the newer Speedmasters and Seamasters. Is this correct?Anyways, I took some quick pics...picasaweb.google/zirotti/SpeedmasterPro#

Servicing by independent watchmaker
Hello. I bought my first PP - a 5127 - a few months ago. Unfortunately it's about 5 years old and there's no way to determine whether it's been serviced.Hearing all the service time nightmares, I'm wondering about just letting an independent dealer on the internet service it. Anyone ever done that and come through the process ok? Anything to watch out for? Thanks!

Accuracy?
I've had my BLNR for nearly a year and it was brand new purchaced from an AD. I wear it every day and at one or two weekly intervals I reset the time and give it a bit of a clean. Up until a few weeks ago it's always been pretty much running +2 sec fast per day, which is within spec and very consistent. However a few weeks ago it suddenly jumped to +3 sec per day average. At first I put this down to maybe I made a mistake when resetting the watch, but it's been a few weeks since then and it's definitely the watch...It's still well within the warranty period so should I return it to the AD or just leave it and see if the accuracy improves or gets worse? For your information I usually check the time against 'Time.is'.
