back in omega family :D
Hello AllI am back in the Omega family and am very happy about it :)..I got the 2531.80, electric blue titanium on Ti Bond bracelet, automatic..it is a wonderful and very beautiful watch for sure...BUT, the real winner for me so far is its AWESOME light weight ..it is so light and comfortable, that I at times forget it is even there...actually, I wear my watch ALL the time, sleeping and all, so it is very important for me to have a light watch and yet a tough one, so this is the best solution I have come across as yet sorry it is almost just a tease to post without pics, but I sure will post pics soon too :Dregards,Asad

Recommend An Independant Patek Watch Service?
Hello AllI am just doing some scouting.At some point I would love to get my Aquanaut serviced. Does the crazy long wait apply to an Aquanaut at HWSA? I have other watches but I'd miss my aqua if it was gone for over a half year...Can you guys recommend a good independant watch maker for my watch? Note I do plan on having it polished so look super minty unless you guys tell me it's a bad idea.Thanks!

5053R: Any red flags?
There are several of this model on the internet (known companies), all roughly the same price: 24K or so. I realize I may need to have the one I eventually buy serviced.I tried one on in local tourneau (they were asking 30K plus for one in only fair condition, no papers) and the wife and I really liked the pre-2007 model better than the new Officer's model. I included this link and text just for inspection: I may not buy from this company, or at all if there are issues with the model. 35mm..europeanwatch/19050.htmlMore about Patek Philippe Reference No. 5053R-001This is an 18K rose gold Patek Philippe Calatrava 5053R-001.
