DSOTM or Pam 233?
OK, long story short. I've tried Rolex a few different times and after a few months, for whatever reason the brand just doesn't stick. So I'm considering selling my subc date. Two of the watches I've lusted over are the 233 and DSOTM. I've tried the 233 on before, and it sits nicely on the wrist. I love Panerai, I have a 000 and lots of straps. I also love Omega. I've tried on a Speedy 9300 before and also, I thought it fit my wrist nicely. Right now I own a Speedy Pro. I would like the date and the auto movement as opposed to my current speedy.I love winding a pam, not so much the speedy, where I find the tiny crown a bit of a chore. I've wanted the 233 for a few years, while the Omega, just since it's release (a year or less? So does anyone have either or both that can chime in? Pics are always fun, but your thoughts might help me mull things over. Cheers and thanks for reading

What is this Omega? Is it worth servicing?
So my mom was cleaning out her cupboards and she stumbled upon this vintage Omega that she got from her boss a long time ago when she started working. I have the box and all paperwork including the original purchase receipt, date of purchase, serial number, etc.I couldn't find any markers on the underside of the watch, but the receipt is dated November 20, 1977. The gold strap that the watch is on right now isn't original, but I have the original leather strap as well also in mint condition (pictured).Is it worth restoring? The watch is in pretty much mint condition since my mom has never worn it for the past 30+ years. However due to its age it obviously would need some servicing.Any insight into what it actually is would be really helpful!

First ever sighting?
The great actor Robert Culp in the absolutely brilliant 1960's TV series'I Spy' was the first person I ever noticed wearing, what I was later to discover, was a Rolex GMT. 'Till then I hadn't even heard of Rolex. Then, one Saturday afternoon in 1967, my young face pressed against the glass, I saw it, the GMT MASTER smiling at me from the local jewellers window, and I knew it was 'the one'.Leap forward to 1972, Bond St. London, and I slipped it nervously onto my wristand haven't stopped looking at a GMT face since................ Just to tell the time, obviously.What was your earliest Rolex 'sighting'?
