Speedy Moonphase Revisited
So since I had a day to kill I took 150 mile round trip drive to the nearest Omega dealer to actually see this piece on my wrist as others have said it definitely wears smaller than 44.25MM and I got to see the black on a bracelet and the Blue on leather. Both are quite stunning in the flesh I might have went for the blue on a bracelet but I have this tremendous bias towards black watches anyway after trying it on and seeing it in the flesh I pulled the trigger on a black/bracelet should have it by Friday! Traded my SMP I just like the Tudor HBB too much to let it go.
Omega Box deterioration
I've noticed over the past few years that my Omega Box seems to be deteriorating more & more. It's stored in a dry area so I don't think its anything to do with dampness. I noticed a few weeks ago on the sales forum someone selling an omega & the watch box seemed to be in a similar condition to my own. My SMP was bought in '98 so it is a fair age but my Rolex SD box which bought in 2005 still looks brand newAnyone else noticed this ?Been wearing this now since mid October straight through to now. Rolex SD been demoted to No 2 watch at the moment

Should I sell my 5960/1A?
I need some of your expertise. I bought a 5960/1A when it first came out. I love it as much today as the day I bought it. However, I've only worn it a handful of times. It's just not getting the wrist time and I don't see that changing.And while I enjoy seeing it in it's home, it's there all of the time. So, I'm thinking I may sell it. With that, do any of you connoisseurs think that this watch will greatly appreciate over time (i.e. once they stop making it) -- or should I just sell it and I'll have no financial regrets in your opinion?Yes, I know I could wear it more, but let's assume that's not an option. Thanks for the input as always!
Can anyone identify this watch? I'm stumped!
Hello all. It's been a while since I posted last. Long story short I met with the son of a collector who has had these watches passed to him. Some really cool pieces. Patel, vacheron, zenith and Tons of Rolex including one I have never seen before! It looks like a Paneri? Can anyone advise what this thing is? I have no reason to believe it's not real as the rest of the collection was 100% solid. The back was a clear case back and had Rolex written all over it. Can anyone give me info or I.D it for me? I have my eye on another piece but my friend wants that one if it checks out and the price is right. Only thing to add is the collector lives in Hong Kong and the watch is definitely older. Thanks in advance guys!
