Anyone having problems with their ROO? I am....
I picked up a Jarno Trulli towards the end of last week (sorry for not having posted any wrist shots or incoming thread, thought I would keep this one low key). I wore it very sparingly on Thursday and had let it sit over the entire weekend. Just yesterday morning as I picked it up to put on my wrist, I noticed the watch wasn't moving at all no matter how much I wind it. After having it on my wrist for the entire day it still wasn't moving at all, just dead, chrono too, completely dead.....I'm not sure what the general consensus regarding the durability or QC of ROO's are but I was sure really upset about this. Very indeed. K I'm done venting now. Haha cheers Any similar experience of yours you can share is greatly appreciated.

Zeroing in on a 105.012
Hi Guys! 1. I have managed to zero-in on a 105.012. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on the seller's pitch for the item: The bezel is the nicest bezel I have seen on a Speedmaster 321. It has the correct little dot above the 90. I have seen the bezel with the correct dot sell for over $1800 on eBay by itself. The watch comes with the original bracelet, although one of the endlinks was dented pretty bad (better that the endlink be dented rather than the watch)! I bought replacement aftermarket endlinks, which look perfect. The bracelet is the correct Omega 1039 bracelet with a 3/67 date (3rd quarter of 1967). The bracelets were made by Gay Freres and often sell for about $1,000 by themselves. The bracelet is in really good shape. The watch comes with the COA from Omega, which states that it was produced August 23rd, 1967 and delivered to the United States. I had the crystal replaced with an original Omega hesalite crystal. I can include the original Omega crystal if you would like, but

Which one would you choose?
1. Patek 5146r2. Lange saxonia annual calendar in rose goldI definately prefer rose gold. Both are amazing watches. The lange is very rare.

Wife sent me a ransom note
I am 3,000 miles away and yet somehow my new to me PAM is out on the town (well at work in Midtown but still). Apparently she has no qualms about wearing a 45mm watch! Anyway, just thankful my AP's don't fit her.
