Vintage Omega dealers?
Hey everyone,I'm a newbie when it comes to vintage Omega, and in fact my only experience with the brand is owning a SM PO that I purchased in 2005 (my first dive watch).I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a reliable and honest vintage Omega dealer? I'm familiar and have dealt with a lot of the Rolex vintage guys, but I figured I would ask here first.Thanks in advance

Omega SeaMaster Planet Ocean 2201.51.00 The Perfect Daily Wear
I wasnt usually fond of Omegas except for the moon watch. But this Planet Ocean kept calling my name...For the price, its a good bang for the buck. I was thinking of getting the Liquid Metal with Cal. 8500. But I guess this one is perfect as a starter Omega and as a daily wear.Pics coming soon my friends

help... watch stops on my winder.
Hello. I just acquired an early 2000s Seamaster 120 with caliber 1120 movement. The watch hasn't been serviced according to the previous owner. I will be getting this done sooner than later. Anyway, for Christmas, my wife gave me a Brookstone watch winder which I am now using. On about 1150 revs per day, my Rolex Sub stays perfectly wound and on time. Twice in the past week, I have come to find my Omega stopped on the winder. Both times I have hand wound between 40 and 50 turns. Within 10 or so turns, it starts up. I am afraid that the winder is not winding the watch. Everything I can find says it should be set for 600 to 800 TPD. At 1150 TPD, it is stopping. On a caliber 1120 movement, how many turns by hand is a full wind? I just assumed 40 to 50. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The 5170 photographs well but seems unusually soft on the secondary market. Any thoughts from owners of the 5170j or 5170g why this might be?I know the predecessor 5070, now considered iconic by many, also had a rather rocky start. Curious to hear from current/past owners, especially of the original 5170j, what you liked or didn't like about this reference. It's been about 7 years now since its release and I'm baffled by its seemingly lukewarm appeal.Edit: sorry, typo in the header - should be 5170

Would you accept a "brand new" patek 5990 with these scratches?
Geneva hand selected A 5990 for me and it came in. The entire reason for them to hand select one for me was to make sure I had no problems with the watch that I have previously had. But bad news before it even got to me. HSWA said that the watch had some scratches on it. HSWA NY received it, saw some scratches through the plastic sealed bag and opened it to give it some extra QC before sending it to me. Keep in mind, this 4th replacement 5990 I am receiving was hand selected special for me, unlike the others that were just sent to me without any extra QC from Geneva. HSWA NY noticed before taking the watch out of the sealed package that there is one deep scratch by the clasp which I can feel with my nail, its deep... and other lighter scratches around the clasp area. They sent me pictures.HSWA NY sent the watch to me so I could personally inspect it to see if I could live with it. Otherwise I can send it back no questions asked. There is also a very small blemish on the dial that I can
