Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch help !
I really don't know anything about Omega watches so don't be harsh if I say anything stupid I want to know about the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch the one with the Sapphire Crystal see through caseback.I saw it today at an AD and I don't know why but it just hit me. I was drooling all over it I always wanted an affordable chronograph watch with a decent quality and a bigger case ( I think it's a 42mm ). So far I've realised that the Speedmaster is a bit of a bargain ! I know that you get a lot of history but I really have no clue about Omega's reliability or quality.Being a hardcore rolex fan I am a bit confused whenever I think about Omega's as I always thought that Omega watches are a step below rolex in terms of quality, reliability etc. ( even though I've heard that they are great timepieces ). So what do you guys think ? Is it really worth it ? By the way what's the retail price for one of those ?I'll check the price tomorrow at the AD but I would like to compare the Greek price wi

Another Speedy and Houston Connection Thread
I didn't want to barge into the other Speedy and Houston thread, so I thought I would start my own. If you are a WIS you might find this interesting.If you read my Speedy and Archive Question thread you know something about my 105.012-65.003. But here is my Houston connection.So the guy I bought the watch from says he bought the watch from the daughter of the original owner after the original owner passed away. She says her father bought it new at the same store in Houston where the astronauts got their watches (Corrigans?) right around the time of the Gemini space flights. He lived in Houston for 30 years, moved to London for about twenty years (where it might have gotten it's .003 movement) and then back to Houston before he passed away. My seller lived in Houston and bought it from the daughter in Houston. After I bought the watch I texted the seller. Knowing the watch did not have box or papers, but knowing the watch would come in a box with a return address from Houston, I asked

Pressure test?
Hi all,Have a Seamaster GMT 2535.80 that I have been wearing for 6 years. After spending some time around trf seems folks are taking watches in to be tested for water resistance once every year or two. I have never had mine tested...... As it is in the ocean a few times a week, I better take it in to have it checked out, as hoping for another 4 years before service. What is the general thought on these seals/gaskets? Are people getting seals replaced every couple years? Or simply having the watch checked out, no leaks no new parts?Appreciate the insight!

New Rolex Explorer 11 Owner
Having been an avid Breitling fan for many years I recently purchased a beautiful Rolex Explorer 11 Polar White. I never really considered a Rolex in the past, mainly because many you see on peolple's wrists are fake!
