FC diver replacement case cost?
Does anyone know how much a service inc new replacment case will cost on a FC Diver?
Glad to see 2012 go . . .
Back in March, my urologist insisted on a totally unnecessary prostate biopsy which resulted in an e. coli infection requiring two hospitalizations and weeks of home infusions. Then in June, I suffered a Type VI tibial plateau fracture of my right leg - again, two hospitalizations followed by extensive rehab. Then this month, my wife spent 18 days in the hospital near death without a definite diagnosis.And for the first time in ten years, no Omegas (new or pre-owned) added to the collection.So 2012 was not a good year.But I'm walking again, my wife is home and improving each day, and this Thursday the new Omega arrives.Indications are that 2013 will be better at our house.I pray it will be better at yours also.
New Sub wear/wind
Two weeks ago I collected my first Rolex - a brand new no date Submariner, I've bought it to wear not to be an ornament.My job is fixing gym equipment so there's a possibility of knocks, I train before work so it's no big deal to wear my Apple Watch during the day. Since I got it I've been wearing at home after work (beacause it's new and cool) but it seams a bit daft to wear just around the house for the sake of it.So here's my question, should I,1/ continue to wear my watch in evenings and weekends to keep movement ticking over. It's a Submariner after all, built to last. 2/ put away watch on Monday morning and, (unless going out midweek) set the time on a Friday and wind - the pulling out of crown once a week won't wear seals or cause any long term damage.Or3/ buy a winder, leave watch in it so it's always good to go.Thanks all for any advice.
Would you wear your WG Daytona whilst swimming?
As the title states, have a few pieces that I wear daily, but primarily my WG blue Daytona. I normally swim at least 3-5 times a week with my watch on.Would you wear a WG Daytona whilst swimming in a pool? What's your thoughts guys?Cheers.
Is there a waiting list after new watches come out at Basel?
If a new sub comes out at Basel, will it be possible to walk into an AD and pick it up? or will the demand be very high and you have to be on a waiting list for a long time... thanks.
