Seamaster Pro Accuracy
One month ago I purchased my first Omega, a used Seamaster Pro with automatic movement. The watch is nine years old with an unknown service history. After 30 days it is accurate within +3 seconds per day. I am quite satisfied.

A Balance Wheel Hairspring Question ?
This is a question about hairsprings from the standard flat hairspring to exotic overcoils and even barrel types, When contemplating hairsprings the thought occurred that although hairspring are thought to be very consistent in overall function they can't (or can they) be identical in both directions of operation meaning from at rest position and wound inwards and then springing back and from at rest position and wound outwards and springing back in terms of the amount of travel in degrees from a given source in both directions, the amount of returning force as the spring returns, and the exact elapsed time between the start of travel and back the center or zero point (the at rest position) given the fact that a hairspring is wound on a fairly tight curve.Any thoughts on this from anyone ?

"New" vintage Seamaster 300
I bought a rebuilt Vintage Seamaster 300 (caliber 552) from a dealer in Lichtenstein. It's not a Watchco Seamaster but of the same type - constructed from genuine Omega service parts. The dealer advised me that it was made by a level 3 Omega service technician in Switzerland. His view is that Omega will service it but I am not so sure. I had mixed emotions buying this seeing as views on the Watchco Seamaster are mixed - most people love the look but there have been some concerns about quality and servicing down the line. Only time will tell how my one will behave. The dealer offers a 12 month warranty at least. One thing for sure - its beautiful and I love wearing it

Radiomir wire or 1940
Hello guys, this being my first post on this forum and faced with a decision i just can not make.I have had a number of watches and found myself turn into a serial flipper a few years ago. However, over the last 2 i have worked my collection down to 7 watches which over all bases, dress, causal and just ones i love.I had a Pam luminor (can not remember model) and whilst I loved it, it just did not quiet work, size and height with work attire.Things have changed for me now and find myself drawn to the Radimor range. I know it will be either a 42 or 45, the 47 is just to big for me, but I want it to be more my casual watch.So my problem is I can not decide between having the wire lugs or the 1940 style lugs. I just keep flipp flopping on this and just wanted first hand experience on who you feel the watches wear.Many thanksBrehamI
