Unusual observation with a GMT
Hi allnot exactly new, but just now making the migration to the new forum...About two years ago got an Omega 50th anniversary Seamaster GMT (2534.50) for my (surprise!) 50th B'day. It's been a great watch for travel, being one of the true GMT calibres. But after 8 months or so, it started running unacceptably slowlosing 4-6"/day regardless of positionnot enough outside COSC specs to make the hassle of getting it repaired under warranty worthwhile. So it ended up sitting in the case, benched by it's faster brethren. But here's the interesting part: three months ago while preparing for an upcoming European trip, I wound it and set the date using the hour hand advanceand the hour hand was advanced a LOT: about two weeks' worth. Since then, the watch has been spooky accurateeven for an Omega while worn it gains less than 1"/day, and it reliably loses ~2-3"/day while sitting 12 o'clock up. By wearing it constantly except for setting it on the nightstand every 3rd night or so (12 o'clock

Only 13 Days until the Price increase...<more

IWC = It Wears Comfortably! (ie: INCOMING!)
Gotta love when a watch fits like a glove. The IWC caliber 401 ultra-thin wears as if it only weighs a couple grams, and Adam's ribbon lug caliber 89 (which I wore for a day) was so well shaped it was like it was molded for my wrist. Well, the postman just rang the bell to deliver the 70's Pellation and it's a pleasure to have on - even with a brand new strap!It's a very nice profile and is well balanced. Gotta say I'm feeling very happy (almost smug for lack of a better description) about getting deeper into IWC vintage watches! This one is going to get some SERIOUS wrist time.
