Review Limes Endurance 1000 GMT3
When one discusses the desirable qualities in a watch, there are many potential factors to take into consideration. Build quality, looks, price, complications, etc�� And these factors can get very specific depending on one's needs, such as helium-escape valves for divers.?It's not often that a watch comes along that covers a particularly large amount of those potential needs, and the Limes Endurance 1000 GMT 3 is one such watch. At 1,195 Euros, or about $1,575, the German made Endurance features an ETA 2893-2 TOP grade GMT movement, a 1000m water resistance, sapphire crystal, an incredibly sturdy build and a unique three time zone design.

The crown stem tube became stripped and it wasn't possible to screw down the crown anymore. In addition, it just needed a CLA since it was gaining about 8 seconds a day.I went to an Omega AD (not the one I purchased from, but another that I've got a great rapport with). We shipped it to Omega in Culver City and I recently got it back.Sadly, the watch no longer winds through the rotor. After a full manual wind, and wearing it everyday, the watch would stop shortly after two days. Went through that cycle 3 times and even kept a log of when it was on and off my wrist. Also, the crown could be screwed down, but it didn't have any 'spring' feel to screw it back down; it was just flush and you screwed it in.The AD I went through took all the right steps and it's back to Omega to be fixed, but still…?what a disappointing first experience with Omega service. I really wa

Anyone havle any comparison pictures btwn 42mm PO and Rolex Pepsi?
Just curious if anyone has any side by side shots. I owned a PO 42mm (loved it) but it was a tad too large on my skinny wrists so I'm thinking the 40mm rolex gmt (non ceramic) might just be the ticket.I'd greatly appreciate any pictures.Thanks!
