Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono

My new ceramic Submariner
I would like to share with you all my absolute pleasure in becoming a Rolex owner again.In my 16 years of watch collecting I have owned a non-date Sub for 7 years, an Explorer II for 3 years and an LV Sub for 6 years.I think I will be owning this perfect realisation of a true iconic timepiece for a lot longer than all of these put together. This truly is a keeper because I could not think of anything else I would do to improve the Submariner, although the jury is still out about the ROLEX engraving on the inner bezel.Well done Rolex for listening to your customers and updating the elements of the Submariner that were needed for it to remain at the pinnacle of Divers timepieces.The Cerachrom bezel, blue lume, new micro-adjustable clasp and maxi dial are all aesthetically pleasing and practical improvements.I've been following all the details of this brilliant new addition to the Rolex catalogue on this very forum since last year's announcement and I could not be happier now that I have

Need help identifying / How much to get it in working condition?
Hi everyone,My dad has an old Omega Seamaster sitting in his closet that he says he hasn't worn in over 10 years. I've never been much of a watch person but I figured I could put it to use Can somebody help me identify which model it is? It's not terribly old. From what I've read about the the serial numbers, it was probably made in 94 (so I think that predates the bond series models, right?). It has a blue face, says "Seamaster" in script. "Professional" in caps below that and then "300m/1000 ft" below that - All white text. I've seen some with Seamaster written in red but that's not the case with this one. I'd upload a picture to help but I can't seem to find the camera cable.The battery appears to be dead but that's about all that's wrong with it. I've read that the waterproofing gaskets or whatever needs to be replaced every so often. I doubt that my dad would have ever taken it to get serviced so is that something that I would have to do? How much would getting all this done cost?

Longevity of chrono watch movements?
I'm generally a big fan of chrono and chrono-like watches. I'm a sucker for the added dials and buttons.Question: on such watches you generally have a choice to allow all or most of the chrono movements/complications to be on or off. For example, you can have it set to the chrono minutes and or hours options "on" all the time, or off, etc.Does the settings here have any effects on the longevity of the movement? Is it best to leave all complications on, off, or does this have no bearing on the issue of longevity?
