Illuminating dial markers/hands
Hello all,Just to share a piece of info I picked up along the way and invite any similar experiences.I recently found out that if your hour markers/hands on your omega are becoming dull or almost non existent you can apparently re-charge them by shining a bright light into the face for a few seconds.I have tried with a bright torch (only thing I could think of to do the job) which did brighten the dials up a bit but did not seem to make any permanent improvement.Has anyone else got any experience or similar tips ?As always feedback greatly appreciated.Paul
Few hours to decide..... 5980/1AR
Had tentatively asked my AD to look out for a Nautilus for me, to complete my trio with my 5167A and Calatrava. I was hoping they wouldn't call too since (only six weeks or so since I picked up the 5167A) and, when they did, my preferred model would have been a 5711/1A. The blue dial, the SS, and the price (22k GBP) all feel right. So.... they have a 5980/1AR coming in, as a customer who had ordered that some while ago can't complete for some reason. Suspect a few people have been called so would need to go in today. I've never seen a Nautilus in the two-tone look, and is it a model that justifies the considerable extra price compared to the 5711?
315 series movements versus 324 series
I'm considering some annual calendars, some with 324 series movements and some with 315 series. Other than the assumption that a newer movement is improved over the one it replaced, has anybody experienced 315 movement reliability or performance issues that resulted in costly and lengthy repairs? The 315 equipped references I'm considering are 5035, 5036, 5056. Thanks for your comments....
PP calatrava... legit?
I stumbled upon a vintage calatrava the other day on a local auction site. I don't know much about the Calatrava models, but apart from the fancy lugs, it still looks a bit odd. It's as if the style of the dial doesn't match the bubble back case. And the dial looks refurbished. Moreover, did Patek Philippe ever have a gold stamp on the case back? Nevermind the text on the pics. :)I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks!
So sorry if this is a stupid question... 116234 DateJust Datewheel......
I've seen some 36mm 116234 Datejusts with the blue dial without the roulette datewheel, and some with it.Is there an option?I'm hours away from pulling the trigger and I can't seem to find any reasoning as to the difference.Am I missing something?Sorry again if this is a dumb Q to ask.
