Advice before purchase of an Omega
Hi, Hope someone can help with following points:-Currently looking at buying an omega, it will be to wear each workday and for daytime when on holiday.Was looking at a Planet ocean 2201.50.00 as a sensible do anything/anywhere optionBut keep getting drawn back to a Speedmaster professional, the Speedmaster questions - 1) How waterproof in reality is a 50m rating, this would only be for swimming and messing about in the sea (typical holiday things with family) ¨C no diving or watersports, does anyone use theirs for this ok ?2) The price difference in the UK between a professional 3570.50.00 version and a co-axial 311.30.44.50.01.002 is about $1900, what are the practical benefits to justify the cost. (the auto or hand winding difference is not an issue for me, 100m v 50m may be a problem depending on above)3) What exactly is omega referring to when they say in the spec for the professional - Rhodium-plated finish ?4) Service intervals being quoted from AD¡¯s 3570.50.00 circa 5 years, co

Omega Deville calibre ??? Advice please
Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice on a watch I have bought please.The watch in question was bought from eBay and needed the plexi glass repolishing so I took it to my local watchmaker and asked him to check what calibre the watch is. I now know I should have asked him to take note of the ref numbers inside so I could find out more about the watch (rookie mistake).He has told me he has worked on this type of watch before and the watch is authentic.The guy has told me it is a 562 calibre, but I have noticed you change the date by pumping the winder in & out is that correct for this watch??I will post a picture when I figure out how to do'it.Many thanks for looking.

End result of my Vintage Franken-Connie.
If some of you remember back in Feburary, I posted an image of my Vintage Pie Pan Connie and a couple of members taged it as not real, with the dial having some issues.I contacted the dealer I bought it from and he said let him look at it and if he agreed he would make good on it.Well he finially did. It took two months to get my refund but he stood behind his sale. This is after I purchased it over three years ago.So that goes to show there are some honest dealers out there. He said it was a consignment piece and he missed the details that were pointed out by TRF members in one posting.Many thanks to the members who pointed it out to me. I would of gone for the rest of my life thinking I had a collectors piece when in actuallity it was a Frankenwatch.TRF is the best watch forum on the net.Best regards,Mort

Spotted this while browsing the internets. Just in case you were looking for a way to spiff up your Patek. (I actually think it doesn't look half bad.)
