Speedmaster Lume Question...
Hi. What Lume is used on the Speedy Pro? When was the last time Omega updated/changed said Lume?
DeVille info
After doing a fair bit of searching on this forum, I have not found much information on this particular Omega De Ville watch.It belongs to my grandfather and it eventually will be mine. All I know is that it was purchased some time in the 1970's and is 18K gold. The original strap was replaced due to wear and tear.If anyone can shed some light on this particular model of watch, it would be greatly appreciated.
Incoming Tomorrow
Since I sold my 2 APs, I needed a daily beater. 5522 is a ways away as is the 5524. So got a call from my AD that he had a piece that my brother wanted but my bro decided to bail. So it looks like it's mine.It's not a Patek by rhymes with Gorex. :)Not a planned purchase but I'll take it.
Boxes
Quick question - Have the PP's always come with the fancy wood-grained box? I've seen many in the traditional cardboard case with all paperwork; was wondering if the fancy box was relatively new or not. Mine came (from a trusted seller) with all paperwork and manuals but not the wood-grained box. Thanks!
Rubber B strap install on PAM 233
Last night I took some time and installed a new Rubber B strap (black rubber with sahara tan inset stripe) on my (stainless) Panerai 233. Overall a straight forward process, and easy enough. I don't think I scratched anything. :)Noticed that the Panerai supplied leather and rubber straps have a steel pin tube, and that the clasp screw is in the band really good. Had to pull on that one to get it out and over to the new band.What I did not know, and could not find reference on, was IF the steel pin tubes (2; 1 for each side of the strap) were required to be put in the Rubber B strap or I could just leave them out (the Rubber B seems to not take the pin tubes). Can anyone confirm or provide guidance on this?Thanks. Lovin' my first Panerai! :)
