Partially rescinding my endorsement of Swiss Service Center
In mid-January, I sent my SMP 2552.80 to Swiss Service in Illinois, the closest Omega-authorized service center. I bought it in May, 2000, and never had it serviced before. It was losing ~28 sec/day. They sent a quote a few days later, and I approved all the work.This was my first Swiss watch, and while I recently contemplated selling it, I know it should be a keeper, after thinking about all it went through with me for the past nearly 8 years.The other day, I noticed that my account was debited for the Omega service. Today, I called them and they said it was shipped out and gave me tracking. FedEx just showed up! Notice all the packaging - even my cats were curious! It was wrapped in tissue paper, then a small manila envelope, then a FedEx bubble wrap envelope, then a small FedEx box, then a medium FedEx box. My watch looks fantastic, all nicely polished to nearly new. I wound it 40x and set the time (noticed I didn't have the right date until after I took the pics). Putting

This is starting to hurt my head!
Okay so I have had my DJ 116200 for a couple years now and I love it and all but I feel that I am just bored of it and don't enjoy wearing it as much as I used to. So, Im trying to sell it locally and get an omega seamaster P.O 2209.50 42mm with the orange bezel and stainless steel band. This way, I will have a watch that I like more and also have some money left over to start saving towards a different Rolex in the future. What do you guys think?

Incoming?1st Rolex with Pics & my story
Attached are pics of my new Submariner, which I got today, along with my story. Hopefully you will all indulge me as this is quite the moment I have worked towards! I bought my first watch when I was 16, a Bulova, it was $60; I purchased it with my own money, from my first summer job. I walked an hour to the local mall to make the purchase and ever since I have always worn a watch on my wrist. Over the years, though university and marriage, I have had other $100 - $200 watches but as I have matured in life I became much more serious in wanting a watch that I could treasure, wear everyday, and eventually pass down. I signed up as a TRF member October 3rd, 2011, knowing someday I would purchase a Rolex. Over the last 6 years we, my wife and I, put our daughter through university as she did her degree and her Masters. Our daughter graduated, not owing anything, we paid it all. Making sure my daughter�s education was looked after was worth more than anything to me. So, during the la
