Omega PO 9300 vs Rolex DSSD
Hi everyone,Had a rather spontaneous purchase the other day, ended up trading my Omega Seamaster PO Chrono for the updated 9300 model:The idea being that the DSSD would be a more formal watch to wear to work, and the PO would be a casual wearer hence the orange colour. It's more 'fun' than having all dark coloured watches.This new PO 9300 model is often compared with the Rolex DSSD, which I am also fortunate to have in my hands. What the comparisons don't often show are side by side photos, and as I have the opportunity to do so it would be rude not to.As you can already see, they are both stupidly large watches, not just in diameter but in depth too. I wouldn't advise anyone to have either of these watches as your only watch, but in a collection they both have their place. I'll start with the boxes:The Omega box doesn't seem to be any different from my last PO model, however the Rolex DSSD box is much bigger than the Submariner's. At this price point I'd expect something pretty specia

do odd-sized lug width require wider or narrower straps?
*ahem*luminox*ahem* I've seen their lugs widths listing all over the place (23.5, 21.5, 23, 19, etc.), but never in the standard widths used by most other manufacturers. What is the recommended NATO strap width for a loomy with lugs that measure 22.5 or 23mm? Would you use a 22mm, or a 24mm strap? I've heard erring on the slimmer side can put too much stress on the lugs, but wouldn't the band simply not fit if you err on a wider strap?

Help for a newbie please
Hello All:I have a Patik Phillipe watch that belonged to my grandfather and was passed along to me many years ago. I made the mistake of keeping it in the safe deposit box for many years so the "oil" dried up and there it sat not working. Recently a watch repairman who is a friend cleaned it and re-lubed it and it runs perfectly.I was hoping that some of you could give me any information about this watch. I think it is either platinum or white gold and know it is at least 60+ years old but other than that I am a complete novice. It holds great sentimental value to me and is a great comfort to wear and I am not looking to sell it....will pass it along to my son someday. But I would be interested in knowing a ballpark value if that isn't breaking the rules.I have attached a poor picture of it.....haven't mastered the ability to take great close ups with the digital camera yet.Thanks!

Question reg. strap on Planet Ocean 600M
I have a Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M 42mm with the original rubber strap.1.jpgHas anyone any experience when it comes to adding an extra hole to the strap? Is this something that can be done by the Omega service center? I'm sorry, but I don't have much experience when it comes to Omega (this is the only watch I own from them).Also, if there's a good velcro strap out there that fits this model, please do let me know.The reason for me asking this, is that my wife asked me yesterday if she could borrow this watch from time to time. Of course she can, but I think we need to find a solution to tighten the strap a bit first. The watch, IMHO, looks a bit to big on her wrist. But she says she likes it, and that's all that matters in the end. Any help here would be much appreciated.Cheers,Joe
