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

Breitling Callistino Crown - not sure if faulty
I have a pre-owned Callistino. The crown seemed to be screwed down when I got it. It was tight and did not turn. The clocks went back last week (end of British summertime) so I had to adjust the watch. The instructions say to "pull the crown out to position 3 and adjust the hour and minute". Then it says return the crown to position 1. Since the time adjustment has been carried out the crown won't return to a screwed tight position and rotates freely. I'm a bit concerned about the water resistance on account of this. Any advice please.

trade 15202 for 15450YG?
i think these two could absolutely live harmoniously together in the collection, but not wise on the wallet. the SS version of the 15450 never appealed to me, but in YG (especially with that blue dial) it is a stunner. tried it on at the boutique and wanted to walk out with it!is it heresy to suggest trading in the perennial classic (as well as increasingly valued) jumbo for the 15450YG (which conversely would decrease in value over time)?it's a beauty...
