Omega Museum Launches New Website
In May, 2010, Omega reopened its museum in Biel, Switzerland following several months of renovations. The Museum, located just opposite Omega’s headquarters, originally opened in January of 1984, and it is the oldest museum dedicated to a single watch brand. Now, the museum has a new, dedicated website. Find a link inside. Speaking of the museum’s renovation period, Omega president Stephen Urquhart likened it to an anthropological dig. ¡°Not only did we renovate the whole Museum but we also restored many of the period features of this listed building. We discovered things hidden in the archives which we didn¡¯t even know we had and when the Museum reopened, some of these objects were presented to the public for the first time. Extending the opening hours to Saturday will allow even more people to enjoy what is on display.¡±The museum features items representing the brand¡¯s entire history, from the watchmaker¡¯s bench used by Louis Brandt when he began to make watches more than

how to change speedmaster bezel?
Fellows,I have a watch with a case very much like a Speedmaster and would like to swap out the fixed bezel for an NOS one. In searching the forum, I see plenty of threads about PO bezel changes, but none about Speedmaster bezel. At this point, I've gotten the old bezel off (the watchmaker appears to have fixed it with glue) and wonder if there is a trick to fitting the new one. I can glue it as well as the next guy, but surely this is not the way the factory did it. Or did they?Can any of you [please point me to the correct resource? Much appreciated.

Black or white dial for RO 15300?

2500 or 8500 ?
Paid a visit to one of my local A.D yesterday with the hope of looking for a Planet Ocean Liquid Metal L.E. As you guessed, they didn't have one. On display in front of me was the 45.5mm new Planet Ocean ceramic with orange 6-9-12. I tried this on and was impressed with the quality and weight of the watch and also how the 6-9-12 reflected the light, quite superb! We talked watches for about 20 minutes and I left with the salesman's card and that he would phone Omega UK about the availability of the LM LE and phone me when he has some more info. He phoned today when he said he would with the news that Omega UK have back orders for 77 of the LM LE and couldn't promise that all will be fulfilled. He also mentioned that the 42mm version of the new PO 8500 with the orange 6-9-12 is also on back order with a total of 74 people waiting.Now comes the dilema, do I buy the 45.5mm 8500 PO which is in stock or wait and see if a PO LM LE comes up?The LM LE is priced at ?3700 with no discount due

First Patek: 5146g slate or 5711 blue
Okay what would you guys do?I have a seadweller which is my every day, every activity watch with lots of sentimental value. I'm contemplating a sportier Patek at this time. I would like to wear it daily at work. I'm a casual dressing, frequent hand washing pediatrician. I have the seadweller for activities. So would you go with the 5711 or the 5146g slate dial to fill the role as the starter sportier Patek? And why?I would like to have this watch the rest of my life and only can afford one.Thanks.
