Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer 38.5 mm Red Gold

Rolex and Omega
A few years ago I completely fell in love with a watch I found in a old pawnshop in Villach Austria.This was the watch..:DI had it fixed and bought me another one from ''The Bay'' and had that fixed too..A WIS was born..:D:DAfter this it only got worse..Sold both the Omega's to raise funds for a mid size quartz Bond Seamaster, no pictures of that one I am afraid..Had to sell that one though because I needed the money for the babyroom...When my daughter was born I thought it would be nice to mark this important event with a nice watch..Bought myself a nice pre-loved Speedmaster.Before I knew it I had a trio of Speedmasters...I sold the two on the left to raise funds for another brand...:D:DYes, the Rolex brand...When we found out my wife was pregnant for the second time I was so happy that i bought me (my son) a nice pre-loved Submariner.Two kids, two great classic timepieces..Well, what I am trying to say with this thread that although I thought I changed from a omega guy into a Rolex

shopping for a big pilot
Hi guys, I have been shopping around for a BP recently. I just wanna check if there are anything to look out for ? like say a Panerai with their series.Also what should I be get along with the watch ? I know thats not a worry if I were to purchase from an AD, but recently I just can't argue with the prices of the secondary market.Also would it look too big for a 6 and 3/4'' wrist ?your input will be greatly appreciated.For those of you with a BP, would you guys kindly post a photo of the whole set of times that comes along with the watch.Thanks!

Would you spend $20 for this...
I have an overwhelming urge to purchase a cheap quirky watch to add some balance to my collection. After cruising the internet I've come across this....For some unknown reason I want this. It's around $20 on most sites. So here's the question, would you buy it? If not, any other similar suggestions?

It may look simple...
But man it's a piece of art and engineering! I was looking through my camera and found these shots of a manual Vacheron that belongs to one of my uncles. I believe his father passed it down to him, and it was sitting in the safe for a while! I really wish that I could have gotten a movement shot! I figured Dennis might like it...It's insane how thin it was! I think it was about as thick as a quarter.

Love/Hate Relationship with AP
I seem to developing a love/hate relationship with AP and maybe even haute horology in general.On one hand, my favorite all-time watch is my 25860 ROC. There¡¯s just something about seeing that bracelet and the hexagonal bezel screws on your wrist. Nothing quite like it to me.On the other hand, there is service. As chronicled here (), I had some service-related issues with this watch after a full movement service in late 2014. Then this fall I noticed some slippage of the crown while winding and eventually I could not wind via the crown. So I sent it back in to Clearwater. Today I got a call from Betsy to go over the $3100 estimate. The hairspring was out of place and they say it needed to be replaced and well as the rotor. They asked me if anyone opened the case and I said absolutely not, because it just had a fairly recent full service. And I said that I thought they put stuff on the screws so they can tell if someone opened it anyway (I didn¡¯t really get any acknowledgement
