Went to my CT Omega AD today . . .
No, no new watch this time, BUT I just thought I'd share a fantastic AD experience I've had today. As some of you who live in the state of Connecticut may know, there is a VERY limited amount of Omega AD's in the state (something like 2 or 3 total). Today I visited Lenox Jewelers in Fairfield, CT. I was VERY impressed by the knowledge at the salesperson I spoke with (Glen). They treated me VERY well (even gave me an Omega Collection booklet, listing all the current Omega watch models !!). Besides Omega (they had a very nice selection, the Speedy Moon watch, two quartz SMP's (one black, the other blue), auto Seamasters, PO's, PO Chrono's, etc.), but they also had a very nice selection of Rolex, and Breitling as well. I guess my point of all this, is if anyone is in the CT area, definitely check these guys out ! They also have thier own in-house watchmaker as well ! (Instead of sending in to Rolex / Omega for service, they do 90% of the work right in the AD ! ). Anyway, just thought that

Couple questions on the 2264.50 Quartz Seamaster
I have a couple questions on the 22654.50 Quartz seamaster. Any answers would be appreciated.1) Does the date have a quick set or is the only way to set it is to move the hour hand ahead? Most of my watches I have had had a quick set feature so I am curious if there is one and I am missing it.2) It was originally purchased in 2005 in the orient from a AD with all books, war. card etc. so it is authentic. My question is it came to me with a beautiful dark wood box with the round gold Omega tag on the front and not the red leather one. I am curious if it is the original box or one from another model? I'm thinking in the Orient they came with the wood and in the US the leather.3) Is the AR coating on the inside and outside of the crystal? The book says on inside and outside but I thought I had read that it was only on the inside of the crystal on this model. If also on the outside is it easy to scratch?Thanks for any info.

8500 Movement - anyone have one yet?
Do you notice any appreciable difference? I'd like the speedmaster with the moonphase, I recently saw one at the Rodeo Drive boutique but it was the old movement. I may as well wait for the new 8500.Wondering if there are any out there in TRF land?

Zombie apocalypse watch
Hi all,Pretty weird thread, I've been watching quite a bit of the walking dead lately and one of the main characters has been wearing what appears to be the same watch for a number of series! My question is in this circumstances what watch would you want to have on your wrist, would need to be hard wearing, reliable and accurate! My vote goes to the 116610ln slightly impartial as the only Rolex I own but let me know what you guys would wear.
