Possible Omega modifications...
Have you ever looked at your Omega(s) and though, "If only you could get them with this dial, that bezel, those hands, etc."Here's a thought I've had for a while, a set of Plongeur (PloProf) style hands for this...I think it would look pretty coolWell, over to you guys, any ideas or just use your imagination (QT, just try )

Sparta2
I was looking at Orbita's website at a 2 capacity watchwinder, and I noticed they only had red and green. At one time I thought they offered a traditional brown wood finish. Sparta 2 deluxe with lithium batteries as I recall. Does anyone know if they are still made? And ball park price? I was looking to give one away as a gift. The Green and red model just won't work. Thanks.

What To Do...
Next Thursday, I'm flying down to Florida to attend my brother's 50th birthday bash. Living on opposite coasts, we don't see each other too often, and there's no way I'm missing this celebration.I'm torn on what to get him for a birthday present, though. Some have said that just being there (he doesn't know I'll be there) will be present enough. I think that might be true if this was, say, his 49th birthday, but the "Big 5-0" is special.On my flight home from Toronto on Tuesday, it dawned on me that an appropriate gift would be my Omega Seamaster Professional. I know he likes the watch; he's made comments about it in the past. He would never purchase anything like that for himself, and I'm probably in a better position to eventually replace it than he would be to go out and buy one for himself.My brother and I are very, very close. It wasn't always that way. When I was younger, I did things I'm not proud of. I can't believe I would ever do things like that to anyone, let alone a member

2500c Question
Hi guys, My dad has an AT with the 2500c movement. When the watch is stopped, if he unscrews the crown and manually winds the watch, nothing happens. Even if he gives it a few shakes after winding, still, nothing. If he pulls the crown all the way out, sets the time, and then he pushes the crown back into the winding position, it will start. With my watches, I always wind them first (after 10-15 turns, they'll start) and then set the time. Any idea what's going on? Thanks,Wes

PAM 328 with P9000 movement no longer winding up automatically
Hi All,I posted a thread a few weeks ago saying that the watch wasn't winding when sitting on a winder. Now it seems like it may not be winding up even when on the wrist. I still seem to get around 3 days when I wind it manually but it doesn't seem to be winding up when on the wrist either. I actually haven't worn it for 3 days in a row to really test that theory out though. I know it is not the best thing to do but, just to see, when at a dead stop, I tried shaking it to see if the rotor movement alone could get it going but I couldn't get the second hand moving at all without manually winding. Has anyone had this issue. I have seen a couple of other posts on other forums with the same issue with the P9000 but didn't seem to get a resolution to the problem even after having it serviced. The watch is about 5 years old and could probably use a service anyway. I am wondering if I should drop $500 on the service (and whether or not that will even solve the problem) or just put it in t
