Face off! Not just a great movie
So I'm thinking of picking up a new watch and the new chronomat 44 gmt is in the mix. Problem is that I love the blue dial and the black one. Does anybody know how much of a pain in the ass it would be to get the dial changed in the event I grew tired of a particular color? Could any watchmaker do it or would I need to send it back to B to get it done? Any guess on how much it would cost?Anybody actually do it?Thanks

Omega Seamaster Quartz late 1970s - Plz Help.
Hello everyone,I bought this watch some time ago because i liked the strap and had never seen a seamaster with a silver dial/bezel before. I believe there were two similar models available at the time, the other in a two tone with gold face, bezel and strap. The watch was going fine until the battery ran out, or so I thought.I took the watch to a really decent watchmaker who has always been more than helpful. He said they didn't make the actual batteries anymore because of some complication with the battery content but was able to fit another with some sort of cushion to allow it to fit properly. He tried this but said the battery was not at fault, the movement is gone. I really like the watch which I must admit I hardly even wore. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do. I have been told to maybe look for another 1342 watch for sale to replace the movement or should I just advertise it for spares/parts. If so, what would be a reasonable price, I don't think they even sell

5711 vs 5167. Anyone prefer the 5167?
Evening guys.Onto the hunt and I usually like to take my time, see my options, try on the watches a couple of times etc.Now I know I could never justify both the 5711 and 5167 together even if I could afford it.The same shape on the face, same movement, and same complications (time/date).I do love the rubber strap on the 5167 and the sun burst dial that looks like a globe.Also love the smooth bracelet on the 5711 with the beautiful blue dial(which I have yet to try - only tried the 5711 so far and she's a stunner too. I would rather the blue though.). The only advantage IMO on the 5711 is that it works very well dressed down and up. The 5167 imo is better casual and dressed down. The rubber wouldn't look special in a suit.Does anyone prefer the 5167 over the 5711?Which would you pick in this case?

5170 vs. Duometre a Chronographe
Yes, I know, I know, there is no comparison between the two in terms of finish and shine, plus the Patek will retain value better.Mechanically speaking, which of these two beautiful watches is going to be more accurate chronographically speaking? Does the dual-wing design add additional accuracy that you will not get in the clutch design of the Patek? I know that JLC pushes that idea, but do you all think this is true?Which one do you think is more of a collector's item mechanically speaking? Which is a more robust design?(I'll keep in mind that this is a Patek forum...)
