Changing out the blue dial
If I buy a Seamaster Professional 300m, with the blue wavy dial and matching blue bezel, what would it cost approximately to have the dial and bezel changed to black? Is this possible? (and do I get to keep the old parts)I like the watch a lot, but feel the blue is a bit bright.

Omega PO - Fair Price?
Hi all, I am new to the forum. I thought I get some opinions on price and value of the PO. I can purchase a PO w/ the rubber band for $2K. I was looking for one with a SS band but thought $2K is a pretty fair price and upgrade later to the SS band. However, I was quoted a SS band costing $1200.

EXPLAINED-Rolex wants to keep quality standard high & costs low
I think we have been cynical of Rolex. The high demand of specific SS sports models is the reason for the markets low supplyThis is why:Keep quality high: They will spend the same amt of time manufacturing a watch.

They would need lease a bigger office space for the watch makers AND buy more machines that are automated.....this is some serious $$$WE are the reason for the short supply in the market of SS models.Lastly---If Rolex were to increase production, demand would HAVE to be across ALL models...not just the SS sports ones.Dont blame Rolex.....they are not cutting production or under supplying the market......its simply

Five year old watch breaks for second time
Purchased a sub c just over 5 years ago and wouldn't even call it a daily. Two years in it stopped and was told while still under warranty a jewel had come loose and jammed the movement. Received full service at the time Today just 3 years later I've been daily wearing it while down in Florida Swimming etc but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. All of a sudden it just stopped. Tried winding but seems nothing catches when I'm trying to wind it. I can change time and date no problem but nothing will get it going. Mainspring? Lube job? Stem problem ?Really though. Twice in 5 years. I beat the snot out of my Seiko daily and still runs like a top
