New arrival in gold and steel
A friend of mine (large public company CEO) has been persuading me for months about the virtues of the Royal Oak. I've had the opportunity to spend some quality time with his in both gold and steel. I wasn't 100% sold on either until we discussed the new two-tone 15400SR. Two-tone tend to be a love/hate thing, but I'm the exception who likes it in some watches and not others.Anyway, after getting together earlier this week, I made the impulsive decision to acquire a RO in steel and rose gold, and was able to get one here just in time for a business trip out to the Bay Area. I'll have a few days to bond with the watch and see how I really feel.For now, here's a pic:The prior owner was gracious enough to get the first minor ding out of the way which allows my OCD a breather until it goes into Clearwater for its first servicements (even if you hate it) welcome. :-)P.S. For those who may ask or later wonder about wrist size, I'm about 7.2.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just got my AP 15300 back from service!
I'm smitten again.. (Not that I wasn't before I had sent it in). It's like a brand new watch again :love:

Calling all Vintage Omega WISs, Need help
I hate to start my thread this way but I have my Granny's Omega watch and I would like to know if anyone can give me any information on it. I am told by my Aunt that my Grandfather purchased it while in Germany (They were married 70+ years so I'm thinking 1940s). The caseback has hallmarks for 18k, .750, the ladies head, Omega Watch Co, Fab Suisse, Swiss Made. I can plainly read 6 digits of the serial number and then it looks like there is a 9 but not like the other 9 in the serial number (not closed) and then a 2 I think. I have what I believe is a manual wind movement separate from the watch. The manual wind movement has Omega on it and a serial number. There is a quartz movement in the watch now. It appears that maybe a watchmaker (or not so much of one) at some point removed the manual wind movement and replaced it with the quartz movement. The face & hands looks original. I would just like to know if anyone can tell me anything about the watch. If what I'm thinking is true I w

Problem with Aqua Terra Chrono
Guys/Gals,I'm a little puzzled....my husband just got an Aqua Terra Chronograph this past Thursday. When I set it for him that evening I gave it a full wind (since I'm most familiar with Rolex I completed 40 turns of the crown).He wore it all day on Friday (about 10hrs) and let it rest on our bathroom counter overnight. It was fine on Saturday and he wore it again for about 9-10hrs. The watch stopped just before 5am on Sunday morning... I thought this was strange. Anyway, I reset it and even put it on my winder for a couple of hours....it was fine and he wore it for most of Sunday. Again, he left it on the bathroom counter overnight....Today he put the watch on around 11am and it stopped at 2:35pm.I really don't have any experience with Omega as this is the first but I'm concerned. Could the reserve be so short? Could something be wrong with the watch?I should mention that we picked it up at Macy's for over 60% off as they were having a HUGE clearance event. Don't have a box or warrant
