Royal Oak Jumbo Chrono Tourbillion
Guys,This watch is my #1 dream watch. It is absolutely stunning, with its large size and beautiful strap. This would be a no brainer buy for me, however the hefty MSRP puts it so far outside of my budget that I can't justify the cost.I spoke to a couple traders in London who said they sell for around ?75,000 (120,000 USD) almost new (1 year old). This got me thinking. If they are indicating a price of ?75k, then I think the watch can possibly be had for significantly less than their indicative price. From my limited experience, these traders tend to ask for quite high prices, so if they are starting at ?75k then I can't help but think there is still more room to negotiate.What do you guys think this watch could be had for via a grey dealer new or lightly used? I checked chrono24 and the prices were far too high. Before eliminating this as a potential option, I wanted to ask you guys.Thanks

New Chrono 44 GMT needs service
All of a sudden, doesn't hold power reserve any longer than 12 hours or so.Even if I place it in a winder, still loses reserve.Two months old. As soon as I receive my Navitimer 01 that is there for its two year service, out goes this one.

Lost a pusher on my late 1960s pre-moon speedmaster... what to do?
Soo just this week I acquired a late 60s pre-moon speedmaster in fairly good shape that I have fallen in love with. While walking around downtown this week I stopped to check the time on my watch and much to my dismay the top (start / stop) pusher on the speedy was gone. I looked around but could not find it anywhere.I've checked online and see that I can source the part for fairly cheap (its a 145.022) from ofrei. However, I am afraid I might need other parts or tools to install it (new tube? spring?, etc?). I called some Omega dealers and they suggested it would have to go to Omega / Swatch for a service which will likely run me $800. The watch is not running at factory standars (its losing/gaining 9 seconds a day) so Omega would require me to take a full service.Any thoughts on what options I might have? The watch has not been serviced since 1999 so it is due (though its still keeping decent time). Should I take the plunge and get the full service or is there a band-aid solution tha

how would you know your mainspring needs replacing
I bought a 2006 submariner and when I went to get it authenticated the AD said I need a new mainspring, is that included in a regular service? and how would i know he isn't lying just to get me to do a service, my watch seems fine but then again i wear it once a week and had it a monththanks again and this is last thread of the day for me! lol 4 in a row, im sure with experience my questions will be reduced! thanks
