Missing Omega found. Input appreciated
My dad mis-placed his old watch and we found it in my parents' house after 2 or 3 years.It was purchased new in 1973 and he wore it daily until 2005 when he was given a new watch.It's an Omega Seamaster De Ville.Any thoughts as to which movement it has?Also, he stopped wearing it because the case back essentially "wore out." There is a small fissure in the case which will allow moisture in if it is worn.What advice do you guys have as far as repairing it goes?Do I replace the case?I know a repainted/refurbished dial is not desirable, but does that apply to the case?That's my Seamaster next to it for comparisonIf you look close, you can see the crack in the case.We also found what we think is the original boxSorry about the lack of quality pics.I used a cell phoneAny input and insight is appreciated.

Finally, after a 15 year wait
Fifteen years ago in Honolulu I first saw a Panerai. I loved it. I knew one day I would be wearing one. Yesterday was that day. I took the plunge and picked up a 164. Here's my first pic of my new wrist buddy.

This Solid Gold Trench Watch Case has me a bit Stumped ! ! !

Does the MC300 adjustable clasp fits Speedmaster bracelet?
I am wondering if the MC300 adjustable clasp fits Speedmaster bracelet? Both SS or Ti.

First Panerai Purchase 114 / 630
Looking to purchase my first panerai and I seem to lean to these 2 models the best. I like the beige coloring on the 630's markers and hands, even don't mind the ETA movement in it since it will make any fixes easier down the road (i could be wrong.)The 114 is the predecessor and has screw down straps whereas the 630 doesn't, any thoughts from the panerai veterans?
