Bond SMP running fast
I've had my SMP 2531.80 for going on 4 years and usually it runs great for about 7 or 8 months and then it starts running too slow or inconsistent from day to day. Mostly it just slows down to -8 or -12 seconds and then it's back to the Omega AD I got it from for readjustment and sealing. Now however it's been running +8 to +12 seconds a day and two months after the last readjustment I brought it back and asked that it be made to run within chronometer specs again. This AD has had this watch setup where it didn't gain or lose seconds for weeks on end so I feel pretty confident in their work. Anyhow, now that I've gotten it back again it's running about +14 to +16 seconds fast. I know the watch can be made to run great but I've had problems keeping it running great and I don't understand why. Is this something that I should have Omega in Switzerland take care of? Shouldn't I be able to expect the watch to run reasonably within chronometer specs for at least a few years before it

WTF/Watch Forum = Relief from TRF Trivialities
Having perused the TRF and their variety of everyday topics, I've found this forum to be far more practical and insightful in terms of Rolex ownership.There's no 'keeping up with the Jones', OCD issues and/or 'show-off' mentalities running rampant. Very refreshing in a world where status-symbolism often reigns supreme amongst contemporary, new-moneyed mind-sets.Though the WTF traffic may be considerably less than the TRF, the responses here are always straightforward and to the point. One can appreciate that.Once upon a time, Rolexes had sort of an esoteric following. Nowadays they seem to fall into the same mundane category as BMWs, Nikon cameras and Martin guitars, items once respected for what they were but now relegated to upwardly-mobile consumerism and braggadocio.Perhaps this is the curse of anything well-made and expensive. Eventually they become mainstream and potentially tacky (especially to the old-timers who simply appreciated them per se).

Insanity Watch
This is part of a longer post, but thought I'd post it separately because some might not want to read through the longer post:The only watch I've ever seen that would tempt me to spend $13,000.Here's a link to a video about the watch that would tempt me, even with its $13K price tag:Pierre Kunz Insanity Watchyoutube/watch?v=Wv48i1g8hws

What your favorite Auto in your collection.
I have a lot of automatic in my collection my favorite is my Ventura -vmatic. What yours.

114060 or 116710ln
Hello all, I got the itch again to add to the collection again debating between these two I already have a 116610lv, would adding 116710ln be better to diversify my stable or would adding another steel sub be to redundant. Thanks to all in advance
