AP royal oak day date moonphase
Hi all, I'm new to the AP brand and not very familiar with their full catalogue yet, but my research has brought me to spot a particular model which I think is a real beauty! The article in question states this a 1984 APRO day/date moonphase and I was hoping to get more information about the model. Would anyone know what specific model this is? Or even better yet, any members here own this particular watch? Does it have a transparent case back? How would a 30 year old AP hold up in terms of accurate and reliability? Is there a similar currently model, and what would be the pricing difference between new and vintage? Thanks!

Put it back to "original"?
One thing that I have definitely learned on this beloved forum is that what I once thought was a great thing... In fact is not!!!I am talking about getting my watches serviced by the Omega Service center.Case in point about my 2531.80 SMP that I bought new in 1998 and that has been serviced three times by Omega in that span... Including the last one where they changed the bezel that was a bit banged up (but really nothing bad) and especially all three hands (the orange tip of the second hand had faded, and the minute hand seemed a bit corroded around the tip, may be due to the luminova?). Anyhow, my point is that at time, the watch came almost as new, and I was psyched. Fast forward a couple of years, and I now realize that I should have kept it in as original state as possible in order to keep building the patina. May seem ridiculous but I am planning on passing this watch (and the other ones) to my son someday. Question for you: although this is not a rare or vintage watch by any str

Options to change my Speedmaster's dial
Hi everyone, first post so please be gentle. I picked up a Speedmaster Date a little over a year ago when the local shop was clearing out their Omega stock at a substantially reduced price. Only thing is, it was the all silver model. While it looks good, I'd prefer it had been the black dial and bezel. Is this something a dealer would be willing to swap out for me? I've read that they will not customize, I'm simply hoping they'll replace with parts from the same model. I'd considering having it done elsewhere, but I'm worried about Omega refusing to honor any warranty work if it should ever be necessary. Thanks!

Question for knowledgable members....
Looking to buy a friends 5711/1A - it's got box, papers, but is missing 2 links. Seldom worn and purchased in Dec 2008 - what's a fair price as it will likely require a service?Thanks!
