Need suggestions! Looking for a blue dial sporty watch.
Hello all,I am scouring the earth looking for a great blue dial (preferably blue rubber strap) sport watch. I used to own an IWC Cousteau and look to find a similar watch. I had my eye on the AP offshore but found the bezel and case to be too large to wear. I recently looked at the city of sails edition but while the case fit perfectly it doesn't come with these colors. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you -T

BLUE: AT 2503.80 and Rolex 116234 DateJust
List,I have been looking for my first luxury watch for my 50th b-day/25th anniversary. I am drawn towards the 2503.33 (white with blue markers), but have never seen or been able to try one on to be sure that is is the one.Recently, however, I was traveling in another city and walked into a Rolex dealer on a whim. The saleslady and I struck up a conversation and she brought out new old stock Rolex 116234 datejust with the blue dial and stick markers. It had the most beautiful blue dial I have ever seen. I put it on and found I almost could not take my eyes off it. The shop has had it for some time and wants to sell, so she was willing to give me 25% off. This makes the price for a brand new DJ at around $5k.I know that Omega made the 2500 AT in a blue dial/silver hands version, but I have only seen pictures of it. Likewise it has not been made in awhile, so any one of these I find is going to be used and (may) need service.Question: Does anyone have experience with the 2503.80 bl

Service & Store or Just Store? - Omega Dynamic Chrono
Hey Folks,I've been organizing my safe and came across my first nice watch ever, given to me as a gift from my parents almost 20 years ago. This discontinued Omega Dynamic Chronograph has never been serviced and is definitely not functioning correctly.For starters, the timing is all over the place and chronograph will not reset properly.I stopped in the Omega Boutique a couple years ago and they told me it would be about $800 for the full service if I remember correctly. That seemed ludicrous to me, to invest that much money in a watch that's probably only worth a few hundred dollars more.So here's the thing, I never wear this watch. It's been in a safe one way or another for the past 10+ years. I of course care about it, and perhaps would wear it once and a while if it was functioning correctly. But for the most part this watch is stored in the safe 24/7.Here's my questions for you folks:Should I simply put the watch back in the safe since it's not really worn or should I service

2001 Omega Constelation "Golf Dial" Ernie Els
Morning all!Still going through a few more boxes here. I have located #38 of 1500 Limited Edition Ernie Els Golf Dial watch. Id thought Id share the find.Watch is in great working condition and looks to have never been worn. The box didnt fare so well in storage as it stuck to the instruction manual. It seems to be engraved on the back with Ernie Els; Limited Edition; 0038/1500; US Open Champion

Saw this on the WSJ page.A nice watch and advert for the service center.The only hitch is the dust. A lot of dust on the watch and possibly inside the case in the zoomed image. May be this one was pre QC!.wsj/video/patek-phili...1C2BC1B52.html
