Omega warranty repairs
My Omega watch requires a repair under warranty. I am currently working overseas and my warranty cards are at home. I am trying to get it repaired locally as I won't be home for months, will an AD accept a copy of my original sales invoice as proof of purchase for repair or do I have to have my warranty card before they will do work. Any ideas?

Is it the 233?
Greetings friends. I have had numerous Panerai references over the last decade. Enjoyed them - then sold them for someone else to enjoy. I am looking to settle down with one watch. Then concentrate on straps. I am not a multiple high(ish) end watch guy - so says she who must be obeyed - so it's just one single watch for me. I am pretty much decided that the one should be a Panerai. But which one? Have had multiple times the following references...000, 005, 111, 380, 372, 1000. Very much like aspects of each one. The 000 and 005 and 380 sausage dials are sexy. Have always liked them. But ~4k for a basic movement and closed case back always left me a little bit lacking. The 111 is nice, but kind of regular. The 1000, meh.The 372 I have had on 3 different occasions. I believe it is one of the best watches in photographs - but on the wrist it frequently didn't sing to me. Not sure if it's too large, or that a ~6k watch with a plexiglass dial turned me off. Perhaps if it was 45mm...Tha
