Talking Watches - J.C. Biver

After 2 years I finally saw another DSOTM in the flesh.
The one thing I love about the DSOTM is I've never seen one in the flesh. This evening I was on the SF muni going home and I saw what looked like a DS. I went up to the guy and we had a great conversation about Omega and the watch. He has the Cordora band with the new deployment buckle and I showed him my calf skin from the pitch black that I added. It was amazing how I could spot one from so far away and how I just went up and started talking. His wife looked bored lol. There is no way I would do that with a sub or Daytona. As much as I love Rolex and it is my fav watch brand I would never carry on a convo about one.

So I get my new (to me) watch back...
I acquired a Seamaster 120 automatic about a month or so ago. I found it on the timezone forums for a terrific price and couldn't pass it up for a full box and papers watch. The watch was gently worn for about a year and then put in a drawer for the last ten or so years. I had it about three weeks and knew it needed a service (i knew when i bought it it needed servicing). I took it to my local watchmaker who did a full internal servicing for $125. I go and pick it up today and I was less than thrilled. When he serviced my DJ last year, I found dust under he crystal. He took care of it at the point I brought it back to him. I get handed my new beauty today and it looks good inside. I pay and leave. As soon as i walk outside, I immediately notice TWO specks of dust on the dial and hands. Maybe I am super critical... maybe I was just hoping for a different outcome than last time... I decided not to bring it back to him to fix. I feel that a servicing for $125 is still a good price even if

Omega or Breitling...
Hello all, need a bit of input. I'm looking at the Omega GMT Chrono 3581.30.00 w/ white dial, and trying to choose between that and the Breitling Chronomat Evolution747 Windrider white dial. Both can be seen on Alan Furman's site.I know, buy the one that sings to you. Well, they both sing to me. What are your opinions, which would you choose and why? Thanks in advance. Larry.

Finally......
First of all, thanks a million to all those who replied to my earlier polls with your opinions, really appreciate it. The road has been long and hard, alot of decision to be made along the way, but finally it is here...(Pardon my lousy photography skills, or a lack of)The beautiful box as seen on so many post...Watch in box...First wrist shot...My first day wearing it out...As you can imagine, i am a very happy man, with a big smile all day long.
