Watchmaker Compares Omega Seamaster Timepieces With Caliber 1120, 2500, & 8500 Movements
As an watches-dealer guest, Hugh Taylor from Xupeswatches-dealer (a pre-owned watches and luxury goods dealer in the UK) once again interviews their in-house master watchmaker, Mickey Nolan, as he proceeds to explain and dissemble three different movements that have all found homes within Omega Seamaster watches. Like many timepieces which have been produced for a number of years, the movements inside those watches evolve and change. Here, we go inside of the Omega caliber 1120, 2500, and 8500 movements to understand what they are about, how Co-Axial escapements matter, and what Mickey the watchmaker has to say about them.Several Fridays ago, while Twitter accounts across South East England ticked away with trademark Anglian wisecracks about how an unheard-of-in-these-parts 4.2-magnitude earthquake had toppled an alarming number of wheelie bins ¡ª ¡°We will rebuild!¡± ¡ª Owen (the photo wizard) and I nestled into Mickey¡¯s watchmaking workshop.We were at Xupes HQ in a peaceful town on the f

Owners of White Dial Nautilus (5711/1A-011)
Read in another forum from another owner that the lume for the white dial is different from those from the blue dial.

This is rather weird, as the lume would be sort of useless.Wondering did existing owner experience the same issues or it is just a one-off?Would love to see some normal charging lume shots of a white nautilus.

Gift/Memorabilia from AD for purchasing a Rolex...
In terms of Rolex Memorabilia, can I get your thoughts on whether a Rolex leather Key chain will have value in the future? When I purchased a watch from an AD he was kind enough to gift me this awesome leather key chain. When I came home I put it away and forget about it. A few months later when I was cleaning my closet I found the key chain again and was curious to learn more about it. When I went to google it, I was shocked that it was going for $200+ on the web. Thanks in advance.
