Hands-on with the Second Generation Anstead Oceanis
When I heard last spring that Tom Anstead was going to come out with an updated version of his Kickstarter-fueled Oceanis, I was eager to get it on my wrist. I'd reviewed the first generation piece and had mentioned a few improvements I was hoping for in a next generation watch, including some quality control. I was eager to see how the boutique brand had addressed them.The good news is, they did indeed address quality control, and a few other things too. I don't mean this to be a head to head comparison of the Gen I and II versions, but comparisons are inevitable when discussing evolutionary models. I'll keep them to a minimum.Anstead Oceanis Gen II ReviewCase: 316L SteelMovement: Miyota 9015Dial: BlackLume: SuperLuminovaLens: SapphireStrap: Steel BraceletWater Res.: 300mDimensions: 44 x 49 mmThickness: 14.3 mmLug Width: 22 mmCrown: screwdownWarranty: 1 year, limitedPrice: $649CaseThe Oceanis' case is machined from 316L stainless steel. 316L is particularly resistant to corrosion (you

Omega Sticker Shock and Discouragement for Newbie
OK folks, while still new here, I've done a little sifting through threads and haven't seen on point discussions for what's discouraging me, so, with your forbearance, I'm going to lay out my questions and concerns. Please feel free to point me toward any threads I should be reading if I've missed them.I was in the market for a new Ball watch, but got sidetracked by Omegas and dropped all consideration of Ball as I became enamored of Omega. I stopped by a Jared yesterday as they are the only authorized distributor of Omega that I know of in the Chicago area. Seeing the Omegas up close and personal was great and reinforced my desire (lust ) for one. On the other hand, the prices stopped me in my tracks. I did not see anything for less than $5k.The most I've spent for a watch so far is $750 for my Hamilton. I'd set aside $2-3k for a Ball, but there is no way the wife will let me spend $5k. So do I have "Cadillac taste and a Ford budget"? is Jared just charging premium retail pr

Cost of re-filling the 5127G caseback? (had it engraved)
I have a 5127G which was engraved with initials upon purchase.Unfortunately, I need to sell the watch and was wondering if anyone has had experience refilling engravings.I've talked with Patek AD and service center and I was told a) by AD that it might cost $1000-2000, and b) by service center that they typically refill it using laser or something to that effect and the cost is determined on a case-by-case basis.Have any of you used such a service from Patek?

One watch to share?
Happy Easter everyone. My wife and I were invited to a special preview of this years Basel release on the 25th. The event is closed to the public and is by invite only. I¡¯m sure many here on TRF will be attending a similar event in their region as schedule permits. Being so privileged to get this invite, there is no way I¡¯m not buying something from my AD the evening of the event. So my question to you all is:What watch would you recommend that both my wife and I could wear and enjoy? Taking into account-1. Size2. Ease of bracelet adjustability3. Material/color4. Gender neutrality We are definitely leaning toward precious metal. Not sure of our wrist sizes, but we are similar in height and structure but would definitely have to adjust the bracelet when swapped. I could pull off a 36mm case size, and in this day and age where women are wearing bigger watches, she could definitely pull off a 40mm case. She loves the Daytona but I¡¯m not really a chronograph guy. We both love the president
