Breitling Avenger II Black Dial Chronograph Black Rubber Strap Automatic Men's Watch A1338111-BC33BKPD3

Dropped my GMT2c and now
I always wear my Rolex, except in the shower when I clean it.Two days ago, while I was drying off the watch with my bath towel, I dropped it.Straight down 3+ feet....on a tile floor.....bang!I expect dings and have dropped my other GMT before, but this time it has had an unexpected result.It now keeps almost perfect time!!!!!!Since I bought it (8/07), it has been slow 3 seconds per day. I set mine daily to the time.gov. so I have a good baseline on how she ticks.Two days have gone by and it's MAYBE 0.3 seconds fast now!!!I hope that I didn't screw something up, but for now all is good!

Please have a look at this guys - thanks

Date change technique for an ESA 9162/4 movement
The ESA 9162/4 (and variants) was called the "Rolls-Royce" of tuning fork movements by Rob Berkavicius for good reason. The movements are rugged, highly accurate and used in the 1970's by brands such as Omega, Certina, Movado, Longines, IWC and others. Some manufacturers such as Omega were able to obtain Chronometer certification.The Achilles heel of the movement is the calendar wheel. Constructed from brittle plastic, great care must be exercised in changing the date or damage to the wheel will occur. Having destroyed a couple of date wheels I finally obtained some expert advise from John Schult (Budget Accutron) as to how to properly set the date. He advised..."set the time to 6:00(am or pm) then you can quick-set the day and date. After that, turn back to correct time." So tomorrow my Movado and Omega will get a date advance without destroying anything!the plastic date wheel

Advice needed Rolex versus Omiga
OK, I really meed some feedback, my daughters partner has decided to invest in a great watch (my influence) now it looks like he will end up with a greater watch than i have (lol)I pushed him towards a Rolex below is his thoughts, would be grateful for your guys opinion or alternative watch.QUOTEI think after much deliberation I have found the watch I want (still need to try it on however). Its a Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow.Interesting article here compares it to the Daytona....rolexreferencepage/ba...vsdaytona.htmlThe Daytona wins but not by that much.So really just wanted to run it by you and get your thoughts.I think I will try it on and then if I am then still happy I guess I just need to find the cheapest way of buying it.There is a seller on ebay uk offering it at ¡ê3195, which from memory you said you can often negociate down a bit, or do you think its worth while importing from the US or using the US Ebay?UN quote

Home Alone with your ROO???
Take it out to dinner. My wife's been traveling all week so I decided to go have a nice dinner in the company of my ROO. We headed to The Palm and started with a refreshing Negroni.
