I Worried About The Wrong Part
After much thought, I decided to convert my SMP 2531.80.00. to this: The watchmaker I've used to service two of my watches, a Speedy Reduced and my 2531.80 refused point blank to do the work for me, his main reason being ordering and waiting for the various parts. So, after making enquires as to who would carry out the work for me, I ordered the following parts (which arrived the following day): Omega 064WZ3121001 Black Dial (SMP 2230.50.00) Omega 065PZ4136 Hour & Minute Hands (SMP 2230.50.00) Omega 066PZ4094 Seconds Hand (SMP 2230.50.00) ETA 2802 2557.1 Date Ring 3 o'clock White Figures on Black Background (Could not find an Omega part number for an Omega date ring) Omega 082SU1464 Black Bezel (SMP 2254.50.00) I was worried about a couple of the parts not working or fitting but these have not been a problem.

Buying first Rolex - YM?
Hello all,I am new to the forums and by way of introduction, I am a 21 year old college student looking to purchase my first Rolex soon. Every since I first began showing interest in watches when I was younger, I always loved the Yachtmaster 1 and found it to be the most beautiful watch. Now being close to graduating college and in the financial position to purchase my first big boy watch I am considering purchasing a 16622. As much as I love the new one with the SunRay blue dial, it seems to be outside of my budget as of now. I have tried doing as much research as possible, but being new to Rolex I have a few questions.First, although I plan on keeping this watch for many many years (hopefully forever), if that is not the case and I decide to trade up to something different in maybe 5-10 years where can I expect the value of this watch to be? It seems like I can pick up a really nice late year 16622 for 6-7k right now.Second, keeping aesthetics and personal taste out of the quest
