Sad day :(
When cleaning my watch case, and bracelet... I found a tiny ding on the side of the case... so tiny that I didn't notice that it was there prior to cleaning... just what to lament, sometimes it happens without even knowing where it came from...

A pair of "oldies but goodies"
My 18k RG bumper automatic and 18k YG Rolex bubbleback automatic:Both date from ~1950.I've had the Omega for several years and refer to it as my special occasion watch.
