Omega 2500d vs 2500c
Does anyone have any in depth info as to the improvements to the 2500d over the c? I have done some research and found varying info pertaining to the three tier movement similar to the 8500, but nothing as to why it was changed or what real world improvements can be expected. Also, does anyone have a definitive way of knowing which POs have the 2500d? Some are saying it can be differentiated by the serial number and the date wheel font, though I don't know that this is definitive. Thanks!!!!

Panerai Crown Guard
Question related to service...After several years of heavy use, my old man is giving me his Panerai 299. While generally in good shape, the crown guard is pretty loose and jiggles around. Certainly not useful any more in preventing ingress of water. Is there a way to tighten it myself using inexpensive tools I can buy online, or would you recommend either bringing it in to an AD for service/sending it to Panerai. All else being equal or nearly equal, I'd go with the lowest-cost option. Thanks!

My first Rolex - Datejust 41 - Complete U turn on the brand!
Very proud to say that I have my first Rolex :)It's been an odd journey to get me here. I spent years not caring for the brand at all, there wasn't a single piece that stuck out for me. The height of my collection has been around Omegas and Tags. Maybe once I became a little older and wiser, I started appreciated some models, specifically the Datejust 41 and BLNR. As time went on I started to like them even more, the beautiful subtleness of the DJ41, the detail and quality of the Oyster bracelet, the statement that is the bezel of the BLNR. It all just started to make sense why the brand is so highly regarded.I made the decision to go with the DJ41, Black, Smooth Bezel with Oyster. That configuration gives me exactly what I'm looking for in a watch at the moment. An all rounder, to be worn in and out of work, smart or casual. Anyway enough of my rambling! Here are some pics :)
