Watchguy frustrations
I'm still fairly new at watch collecting, i rely only on the local AD for service and repair which cost an arm and a leg (almost another decent pre-loved for what they charge). A good, trustworthy watchmaker comes to mind and here's where my little adventure (or misadventure) begins.I'm envious that most of you here have a very good relationship with the watchguy. From where i'm at, they are either grumpy and secretive and will give you and your watch that look of i-will-eat-you-and-i-will-take-what-i-can-from-your-watch.Then i start with small talk of all the nice watches i like. Like magic, he has one in stock (soon) at a ridiculous price. In some places, they all have these dials and wheels and crowns, the guy smiling and eagerly showing me their "current project". It's like a jedi psych war thing just to establish rapport with these guys. Do the gurus and newbies alike here experience the same thing? How long til you found the "good guys"? So in my wish list: Omega Ploprof, Speedy

Help me pick a model.....
OK, got a small dilemma & want the experts inputsI'm looking for a new watch for my father. He'll be retiring within the next few years (probably 18 - 24 mo.) and when he does I want to give him a new watch. He's been at the same company for over 45 years & looking forward to retirement & fishing.. He's NOT a WIS-guy & won't know one brand from another. He does like gold-toned watches, but goes thru them every few years due to the plating wearing off. He wears his watch for almost everything, from yard-work to fishing to work. Here's a few criteria:18k yellow gold. He doesn't care for steel, white gold or platinum. Nor the rose gold.MUST have an 18k bracelet. He doesn't like straps, and a plated bracelet will not last.A classic round look. He doesn't like radical or short-term styles.37 or 38mm's. He can't wear anything larger than 38, maybe 39mm's.Something GOOD As this is a retirement present I want it to last.NO Complications, other than a date & maybe

I wonder if this could be done in real life...
Just a photoshop, maybe I'll have this done on a cheapie...
