2254.50: place in history
So we can all attest to the extreme greatness of the 2254.50 in so many ways, but now that it has been discontinued for quite some time, where do you think it will fall in history? Will it be up there with some of the best vintage pieces that Omega has offered? Will it be considered one of the best dive watches of its time? Will it stack up to the best that Rolex and/or Patek Philippe has had to offer? I am also curious as to what will happen to the 1120 caliber movement. I'm assuming it will be phased out, which is sort of a shame. Any thoughts would be appreciated. :)P.S. I am such a proud owner of this piece and I hope to hold onto it for a very long time. It is a true honor to own one.

Vintage Seamaster 550 getting overhauled! (movement pictures)
Here are some [large] pics of my Seamaster 550's movement that my watchmaker sent me. I bought the watch for $100 with an obviously refinished dial, wrong [omega signed] crown and a "working, but as-is" condition. I knew it had "good bones" (as my wife would say), but after turning the crown to hand wind it, I was pretty convinced the movement was a rusty mess inside. You could just feel (and hear) the filth and rust and gunk as you hand wound it (or so I thought!).Turns out there was a lot of oil that had "migrated" all over the movement, but no filth! After being completely disassembled, cleaned and serviced, the **** thing looks brand new to my eyes! I've had plenty of watches cleaned and serviced, but none of them surprised me like this!I'll post more pictures when it comes back. Right now the dial is being RErefinished. Hopefully international will do a better job than the previous owner!-James

Hamilton Boulton dial
I just sent a Boulton dial out to be refinished and was wondering what the D-90 on the bottom of the dial meant. As far as I know, the Boulton is the only watch that has this D-90, and am not sure if all Boultons have it.

Been wearing this for 24-hours...
My first Breitling I have been thinking about Breitling since 2006 or so. I always liked a 24-hour dial. However, the Transocean Unitime is equally spectacular in my mind. I love the world time function as well as the chronograph. It fits great but I'm thinking about getting the bracelet!Cheers, Eric

Dropped my AK on the concrete pool deck. I actually didn¡¯t even notice it my 9 year old son leaped into action and grabbed it and yelled ¡°Dad you dropped your Rolex!¡± across the whole pool. I guess it¡¯s officially mine now Lol
