Help Troubleshooting an ETA 251.272 Quartz Chrono
Hi I have a Swiss Air Force Chronograph with an ETA 251.272 22 jewel quartz movement and the small second hand, and minute/hour hands have stopped working but the chronograph timer still works (large second hand and 1/10 second hand). My question is do I need to replace the circuit board for $20 (on ebay) or replace the entire movement for $70-90 from a supply house. What's you best guess on this?

Patek vs Audemars
Hi all, I have 2 Pateks, Nautiluses, and considered, still do sometimes, getting a Jumbo.When I saw 2 AP in real, the 15400 and the SS skeleton watch, both felt very strange to me, very very light, even lighter than my 5712, which is quite a light watch.It seems I had a little negative opinion about AP, to be honest the watches didn't seem up to the quality that I expected or that I found in PP.The ceramic diver had a very good feel of very good quality, which I lacked to see in the 2 RO's, maybe I am wrong, I'm sure that I am, and it is great quality but I didn't feel it as with the diver or with a Patek.Can you tell me if for you quality in AP is clearly below PP, or equal, or maybe superior to some¡­I have yet to see the Jumbo in real but if it's built the same way as the 2 I saw, I suppose I will also have a problem with the impression of quality from it¡­Do some of you prefer AP to PP? I'm not talking about sport watches as PP doesn't make any real sport watch IMO, whereas AP does a

Omega archive extract... Not available in U.S.?
Went on Omega's website order one yesterday on a vintage piece I picked up, and got a message these were not currently available in the US. Anyone know what gives? Is this a recent change ?Sent a note to customer service, but I expect it may take a while to get a response.

Birks @ Yorkdale (Toronto) no longer an AD
Hi, just an FYI, I called Birks last week to inquire about a 233 and hopefully get some kind of discount. I was hoping that since the boutique is opening that they'd be more willing to deal with some competition coming. However, I didn't hear back for almost a week from the sales lady as she was trying to secure and R model for me. When I called last night to follow up, I was told that they no longer carry Panerai. I inquired further to say I only called last week and how that was rather sudden. She agreed it was and stated that they got a communication from Panerai on Monday saying that Panerai was pulling their watches and that they were no longer an AD. This was due to the boutique opening in the same mall later this year. So, can anyone tell me what type of discount percentage do other Panerai boutique offer if any?TxEverett

Wanted!! Information about SubC dial?
Hello everyone,I¡¯m hoping to get some information about the writing on the dial of the ¡®newer¡¯ version of the Submariner if possible? (114060 and 116610)Whilst scrolling through some pictures I¡¯ve noticed that there seems to be a slight spacing between ¡°1000ft = 300m¡± on some, and virtually no gap on others ¡°1000ft=300m¡± (I¡¯ll add some representative pictures below.)It appears to be on both the SubC and Date version so it doesn¡¯t seem to be confined to one or either model..With everything I¡¯ve read on here about how precise and meticulous Rolex are when it comes to consistency this leads me to believe there must be for a reason for the difference?Does it denote a year of production or something similar?I¡¯m genuinely intrigued and would really appreciate it if any one of you learned people could shed some light on this for me..Thank you in advance,AlexSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
