7750 running (very) fast ??
Hi allI'm trying to find input as to possible cause,of a Valjoux 7750,running fast. Much faster than a matter of just,seemingly needing adjustment. I have purchased a used "Swiss Made" Diver Chrono,12 hr version,that arrived as described. Everything is as said to be,I have no issue in that area. All functions work as they should,the cosmetics,are very good. The movement is running very fast..a gain of 1sec every min...is my finding. The seller stated that the watch was running fast. In 24 hrs it's gained about 35 mins. This (I feel) is way outside anything that a standard timing adjustment could correct. I have not had the watch to a jeweler yet. I've just received it,and trying to get some ideas of possible cures/causes,for it running this fast. In two diff forums,I've seen mention of movements becoming magnetized,and causing this fast running.. However.I have no experience with this magnetizing issue,and would like opinions. Anyone with knowledge of this magnetizing (fast ru

Hi all,I have been thinking about getting an AP rubberclad for quite some time now. Today , I had the opportunity to try one on, and i wasnt that impressed. Over the last few month i have been marveling at photos and wrist shots, day dreaming of the moment i owned a ROO rubber. I dont really know what is was that turned me off . maybe it was the feel of the rubber strap that felt more like plastic to me . maybe it was the fact that i have been wearing a DSSD everyday now for a couple of months, and in comparison the rubberclad felt like a swatch on my wrist. i dont really know where this post is going so maybe you can guide me somehow. should i abandone my pursuit of an AP and turn my attention to another rolex ( I Probably shouldnt of have posted on an AP forum)? Opinions ? Any other AP references in my price range that might tickle my fancy?Below is a wrist shot. What do you guys think?Sorry for the crappy phone pics, its all i had at that moment.

Railmaster '57 Trilogy - can I swim....?
Never posted on the Omega forum (I've owned a couple of Rolex) but I currently find myself seriously considering one of:Seamaster 300 modernSeamaster 300 '57Railmaster modernRailmaster '57Firstly, I welcome any views or experience from owners or enthusiasts on any of the above. How do they compare in quality and fit & finish to a modern Rolex, perhaps something like an Explorer ?Secondly, I note that the Railmaster '57 has a quoted water resistance of 60m. I am not familiar with the conventions of Omega's depth rating - is this a rating that means you can comfortably swim and bathe or is it little more than splash proof ?I think I prefer the look of the Railmaster '57 to the Seamaster '57 but the depth rating is my main worry.

UPS is Now Showing ¡®Delivered¡¯, hmmm...
Pretty special day for me. My Patek story started 30 years ago when I was 13 years old. Growing up in Houston, my father was in the Oil & Gas business and every year he would have colleagues in town from all over the world for the OTC (Offshore Technology Conference). I loved it because there was always a large formal party at our house (perfect excuse to stay up late). That particular year I remember, because I had just bought my first watch (well parents bought half, I bought other half of the $15 watch) a Texas Instruments LED push button watch--very cool to me. I remember showing my new watch to a very good friend of my fathers, and I asked him what he was wearing and he said ‘Patek Philippe’. Now at the time that meant nothing more to me than my fathers name was Phillip and he joked with me saying it was named after my dad (and I never forgot that). Fast forward 8 years to college when I bought my first Rolex Sub (saved every penny) and over the next 20 years o

Datejust Dial Swap
Anyone know the current cost to have a service and dial swapped by Rolex Service center, including the new dial? Does Rolex keep your old dial?
