Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 007 Skyfall Watch
With the latest James Bond film "Skyfall" hitting US theaters on November 9th, 2012 Omega has announced a new limited edition model to tie in with the 23rd installment in the franchise. This is distinct from the Omega 50th anniversary of James Bond 007 movies watch. The announcement of the new Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M "Skyfall" Limited Edition confirms that Daniel Craig will again wear a Seamaster PO as he reprises his role as 007. This is despite online rumors that Bond might have traded his famous diver for an Aqua Terra model. Planned for release in Autumn of this year, the Omega Skyfall Limited Edition is essentially a special version of the 42mm Planet Ocean we have showed you in the past and features 600 meters of water resistance, an Omega in-house 8507 Co-axial movement, and a matte black ceramic bezel with a chromium nitride dive scale. Not to be confused with a base 42mm Planet Ocean (ref 232.30.42.21.01.001), the Skyfall LE adds some MI6 flare by replacing the seven o'clo

SMP +/- seconds have changed since purchase
I purchased my SMP 7 months ago and used time.is to track the +/- seconds over the course of 60 days. The SMP ran at a solid +2. I decided to track it again recently and it's now running at a consistent -4. Nothing has changed in the usage of the watch: wind it a couple times a month, wear it everyday, rest it face up at night. I've heard watches have a breaking in period but I really thought my SMP was going to stick at +2 since it ran that way for months. I can tolerate -4 for now, but I was really surprised it deviated 6 seconds from when I first tracked it. I'll be curious to see what it's doing when I track it a few months from now. My question is...anyone else have that dramatic of a change in +/- after purchasing a new watch? Or is this normal? I have no frame of reference since this is the first time I've ever tracked the time on my mechanical watches. Thanks in advance for any comments to help clarify this for me.

question on serial number on 5980/1a bracelet
Hi Guys,First post here so sorry in advanced if i sound noobish.Just got my first patek and have some questions for the patek gurus hereI got the 5980 used from a watch dealer and i noticed that the serial thats on the back of the bracelet is on the wrong location from the pictures i see on the internet. All of the serial i see online are located on the bottom side where as on mine it is on the top side. Is this an indication of anything? should i be worried that the watch have been disassembled before and put back wrongly? is this a fake? or am i thinking too much? Thanks in advance guysmy watch:other examples from the internet:

Buying an older Patek that has sat in a safe
Good morning, I am looking at a Patek 5712/1a and have been offered a reasonable deal on one that is still factory sealed in its coffin box, but which dates back to 2008. Is this something I should avoid ? Should I factor in the cost of an immediate service ? I have read a lot of debate on the forum about the settling of oils, though I would have thought a 2008 watch was modern enough that the synthetic oils used would remain evenly coated across the train and the watch would be as good as new. As a relative newbie, however, I may be showing my ignorance. Also, are any of the Patek experts here aware of any changes on the 5712/1a between 2008 and today ? In pictures it looked to me that the dial is now perhaps a lighter shade of blue, but that may just be a trick of the light. Very grateful for the guidance of the forum.

Took my latest acquisition on a short trip
Love the different shades of the grey dial depending on light conditions, and also very impressed by the versatility of the watch with either formal or casual wear.
