Longines Maxi Avigation

Anyone experienced this before??
Anywone experienced this before?? i tried to remove the watch bands links/ pins or screw tubes (whatever you want to call) to switch to a set of aftermarket leather straps i bought recently, but then one of the links was really tight to get it off, & when i finally got that out, i realized that the threads came out with it; so i called the dealer where i bought the watch from yesterday, & the sales told me that AP will not cover this under warranty because clients are not suppose to repair/ service their own watches, only auth. service center from AP can! so my questions is, does it happen often? does anyone know ap install the watch bands tubes with loctite or some sort of glues to secure the thread for backing out?& since they told me i cannot get my 2 weeks old diver warranty under this issue, which means i have to buy a set of new tubes from them, does anyone know how much it will cost? & do i have to buy the whole new set of plots as well? also i have small wrists,

~20 year old Seamaster 300: Is it even worth selling?
When I was in college, I bought a Seamaster 300 (https://.omegawatches/en-us/w...eter-25318000/) because I thought the James Bond watch was cool. I put it on a strap pretty early in its life and have since lost the bracelet.I've had it serviced (as recently as 2016), but I literally NEVER wear it. I wonder if there would even be a market for a watch like that if I tried to sell it. If it'd only fetch a few hundred bucks, I don't think it'd be worth it.Anyone have an opinion? Should I just keep it as a beater, or might it actually be worth selling?

Need some Seamaster knowledge
My grandfather recently gave me a Seamaster. I do not have much information on this watch(no box/papers). I'd be greatful for some helpful knowledge from you guys!! :) ImageUploadedByTapatalk1342686900.412871.jpg

My New Omega Dress Watch
I have been wanting to get a leather strap dress watch instead of wearing my Yacht-Master all the time. After much thought and comparision here's what I got. I do like it! I think Omega makes a fine dress watch and it has a great movement in it. Do you like it?

5204p
Greetings TRF,I recently had the chance of looking at a few pictures of a rather special timepiece made by Patek Philippe and I was tempted to post a thread about it. What I like about this watch is that it has as many good things as it has special and funny aspects (in my humble opinion, that is) I'd like to point out in order to make people think about it in the hope that this will lead to a very interesting discussion. Without further introduction, allow me to review the Patek Philippe 5204p.The case: When I started to admire the case of the 5204p, I thought it would be interesting to compare it with the watch's older non in-house brother, the 5004.Here are two pictures (which aren't mine) of the said watches to help my description.50045204pThe first thing I noticed while looking at those two watches was the difference between the crowns and pushers. Although I personally prefer the 5004's popped out pushers I think the ones on the 5204p really enhance what I think this watch repres
