Trouble with AP repair service
Heres the skinny:I bought my ROO about 9 months ago. It stopped keeping time well so I took it to my authorized dealer and they sent it to AP for repair. This was on 5/30/13. I received a call from the AP repair center stating that the reason for my watch problems was compression damage that voided my warranty. So I have to pay $2000 to repair a watch I just bought. To make things worse, they said it would take 3 months to repair. Just called them today to get an update and now they say watch wont be ready until mid September!This cant be right!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone else had similar experiences with AP and their repair services. Am I getting screwed here...cuz it sure feels like it!

Some AP15400 questions
Don't mind my asking, but I will like to ask existing owners of 15300 and 15400 Royal Oak owners some questions. 1) How's your 15300 / 15400 holding up? Any accuracy or reliability issues so far?2) Does the polishing fade over time or stays brand new? 3) Do you use it as a daily wearer? Is it tough enough for daily wear? While it is undeniably beautiful to me, it also looks kind of delicate. 4) Is it true that the Blue Dial version is more prestigious because it is more rare?5) With the polished surface reflecting light, do you find it too blinky to wear on occasions that a blinky watch might not be suitable, such as formal business meeting, visiting clients etc?6) What will be expected service cost I will be expected to pay be like once it is due for full service? And how's AP's after sales service?7) Does AP warrant availability of parts further down the road like 20 years, 30 years etc?8) If given the chance to repeat the purchase again, will you do it? Or you will choose another br

Vintage omega Seamaster
Hi, I am new to forum and am currently trying to build my rolex collection. I also have a vintage omega Seamaster in rose gold. I have a few Nato straps and a couple of leather ones that I alternate between. It would be great if anyone could tell me anything about it. Ie age and cal if possible. I really don't know much other than I liked the look. I have had it serviced and it runs brilliantly. I think it may date from around 1950/60s? Thanks!

Bracelet/Strap Ideas for Omega Seamaster Pro (2531.80)
I've been thinking about getting another strap or bracelet for my Omega because I kind of want a little change after 11 years, although after the recent service, the bracelet does look pretty nice. I do like the Omega deployment clasp with silicone strap, but I don't want to spend $500 getting it set up and not like it if it makes me sweaty.I came across this seller on ebay with some mesh straps.Option from ebay seller id = wjean28.ebay/itm/120587374735...ht_5928wt_1092I saw Dan Pierce's Seiko with Strapcode mesh and really liked it as well.i129.photobucket/albums/p...r/P1160912.jpgOptions from Strapcode, which do you think would look nice on my Omega?PolishBrushedI may post more of my thoughts later, such as NATO straps, or ISOfrane straps, etc. Just wanted some feedback on this mesh idea first.Thanks!
