Mystery Dial on an AP Royal Oak Jumbo 14802
Hi All,I've recently bought an AP RO Jumbo reference 14802ST. This is the rare Jubilee limited edition (1000 pieces) that was made in the early 90's.This particular watch is number 662/1000 (marked on the rotor). The serial on the case is D-12576. I picked this up in Zurich from the owner but no papers. He claimed he was the original owner and remembered nothing about replacing the dial. He says its been sitting in a drawer for 10+ years and that he's rarely worn it because it has become too small for his wrist now. Judging from the crispness of he watch case and bracelet, it indeed hadn't been worn much.The mystery is the dial. Its not the common configuration one would see on this reference.The dial matches what I've seen on other Jubilee references perfectly (color, font, etc.) except for the AP logo at 6 and indices at 12.At first I thought it was either an older series dial, a newer dial, or a service dial but the upon close inspection it doesn't fall into either category.

Tell me about Omega SM GMT - 50th anniv 2234.50.00
Hi,Can you guys tell me something about this watch. I cannot find too much information about it online. It caught my eye as I was researching GMT watches among various brands. It seems like a cheaper alternative to the Rolex GMT II.1. Do you know when was the last time it was produced ?2. What would be a reasonable price for a excellent condition of this watch ?3. Any comment on the movement of this watch? I assume it's not the in-house one made by Omega but ETA, correct ?4. Could you post some pictures if you happen to have the watch ?5. Is the watch comfortable to wear ?Many thanks to everyone

Stainless case back for I think 6605 Datejust?
I'm looking to replace the back of what I believe is a 1956 Rolex Datejust 6605. Does anyone here have a lead on this part? The back has someone's rather sentimental engraving, which I'd like to remove.

This is how I'm sitting right now
Very happy chappyA long time in the making, and a lot of effort - especially as UK based
