AP ROO-Chrono New 42mm winding
Hello all- I recently picked up a new watch after wearing my other new watch, the ROO new navy 42mm as a daily. It's sat in the safe for about about 4 days now. I don't keep it on a winder but wound it about 55 times. Before I wound it, the chrono looked as if it didn't have much of a reserve and was stopping.Generally, whats the power reserve on these?Was I right to wind it 50+ times like I did?Thanks!
Loving my new 44m AP ROO Chrono
Between the weddin, honeymoon etc i haven't had a chance to put many wrist shots up. It's totally different tan Rolex. I LOVE this watch. Super comfy and big. Here are some pics. It perfect for my 8 wrist. Much better than my DSSD.
Fair Price of a serviced / rebuilt 321 Speedy
Hi all,Just wondering how much is a fair price of a serviced / rebuilt 321 Speedy?I have a '69 speedy 145-022 ST with 861 movement, and I got an offer for almost like new 321 Speedy with 1161 bracelet. I got a chance to meet with the seller face to face to inspect the speedy.Looking at the dial, it is new dial with batons etc. The hexalite crystal is also new (with the omega logo on the crystal). The case also looks pristine.The caseback doesn't look shiny with worn scratches but seems to be either a new or a replacement. My '69 is shiny but full of scratches.It looks like somebody bought a 321 movement and rebuilt everything with parts (maybe from ofrei).I know 321 is a holy grail and I want one too but what is a fair value / price for a not so vintage 321 speedy here. Sorry no pictures yet.Thanks in advance for any advice from all of you
