Grail territory. New Jumbo...
A lot of threads here lately on new Jumbos. Add me to the list. After selling my 15400 last year because it just didn't feel right, I made the mistake of trying a 15202 at a boutique. Game over. Meet my newest keeper. Had to let some go but so worth it. The bracelet screws are a bear to budge. Instead of butchering the screws, I'll try the NYC boutique. One word to describe this piece...PERFECT. It's a stunner.

Omega Geneve Dynamic
HelloAfter getting some great advice and guidance on my Milsub 5513 on the Rolex Vintage forum I thought I'd nip over here regarding my Omega Geneve Dynamic.As with the 5513, the Omega belonged to my old man and it was passed to me when he died in 2008.We think it was purchased for his 30th birthday which would mean it was bought in 1976. As there's no day/date function I presume it's either the 1967-1974 model (165.0039) or the 1968-1971 (ST 135.0033). Other than that I can't find out much more and still haven't found any photos that match my example.Photos below, so as with the Milsub, any advice gratefully recieved!RegardsH

question for the omega guys
hey guys recently Omega has really started to catch my eye especially the 232.30.42.21.01.001 seamaster. my questions are:1) does this version have the in house movement? 2) what is retail for the watch?3) what would be considered a good discount?i know that #3 is relative and would depend on what kind of relationship you have with your dealer. i have a good relationship with my AD so is 27% off asking too much?

Advices on 1st Panerai: automatic or self-winding? 221 vs 233
Hi, I have always been a Rolex guy (stainless subs), mostly because of their simplicity. I am really starting to like the Panerai for the same reason, I love the narrative, I am an avid scuba diver, it seems to be a great fit... but I have no experience with self winding movements. Right now the two models I am looking at, both GMT are the PAM 221 and the 233 which has the self winding movement.Are both 100% Panerai in house movements?Any suggestions. Is one movement better? Also is the 221 a very recent addition to the Panerai line. I was wondering since I have never seen one for sale on the classified?Cheers.
