New Year Eve Incoming Offshore Novelty SS
So after much deliberation I finally zeroed in on an AP Novelty Offshore in Stainless steel... This is the only AP I have currently but have had the pleasure of owning the 42 mm Panda and the Novelty Forged Carbon in the past.....I was also looking at the All ceramic but somehow could not justify paying the huge difference for it... I'm really digging the colour contrast on the dial of the Novelty Steel and after having owned the FC which I loved for its light weight I now find myself also enjoying the extra weight of the steel...I think this watch will be perfect for regular wear and can be worn both dressed up & dressed down for weekends...Here's some quick shots of my new love :-)

Show ddaly12 your Speedy on Leather
Ddaly12 has a new Speedy Pro on the way (3572.50) and I told him he should stock up on straps to swap in. Mine's on the bracelet right now, but with all the Speedy owners here can we get some Speedy on leather pics going for inspiration?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Silicone balance spring
This should be good for a laugh,,,,,,I went to an Omega Dealer yesterday to look at a Planet Ocean and the salesman told me that one of the features of the co-axial movement was the silicone rubber balance spring,and when I asked if he meant silicone rubber,not silicon steel,he said yes and also that it was non magnetic.I didn`t try to correct him seeing as we were getting along fine up until that moment so I ignored his statement and it wasn`t until I got home several hours later that I remembered it and burst out laughing.I think that has to be a new record for absurdity and misinformation from salestaff.

Noisy rotor
Well it’s been 7 years since this 116610LV went from David SW’s hands to my wrist and it hasn’t stopped once. I did the math on this one last night. The balance wheel has oscillated 1,716,960,000 times since then. These little pieces of mechanical genius are quite amazing. On the other hand my rotor has become quite noisy as of late. I figure since it is keeping almost perfect time that it doesn’t need a full service just yet so I ordered some PML and decided to take matters into my own hands. After all, I did play around with the 3135 a bit at Lititz when I was there for the day on my interview. upon close inspection of the rotor shaft I found no wear or jewel dust so I popped it in my ultrasonic. I didn’t have any oil to re oil so I used a piece of thread with 90% alcohol to run through the rotor shaft jewel on the winding mechanism. Upon inspection it looked A OK. After blowing the parts off with mildly compressed air I added a needle tips worth of PML
