Tissot Bellflower NEU incl MWST mit Box+Papieren

Newbie to this forum, but not to the hobby.
Should I start by saying "Hi, my name is Dennis and I'm a horoholic"? I've been collecting for a few years but just came across this site the other day. I think I'll poke around for a while if nobody minds. I'd be happy to share my collection, as I'm just starting to get into photographing the pieces and any critiques would be appreciated. I have a couple dress watches, a few SS sports watches, and a handful or so of vintage items.

NOMOS Zurich Weltzeit// birthday gift
hi all,What do you think about the NOMOS Zurich Weltzeit? I would like to give to my father for it's birthday (for it's 55th to be exactly).

Opinion on the Co-Axial escapement Rik?

I'm assuming you've had the opportunity to service Co-Axial escapement equiped watches from Omega?

Omega Speedmaster GSOTM chipped lug
My Omega Speedmaster Grey side of the moon watch fell from a short distance onto a hard floor and the bottom crown/pusher side lug got chipped as you can see in the following pictures. I brought the watch to the Omega service center in NYC and they advised me that the only option is to replace the entire case at a cost of roughly $7000. I obviously didn't choose that option because that is pretty much the cost to replace the entire watch.They stated that the couldn't confirm whether the watch was structurally sound due to the proximity of where the chip occurred to where the spring bar inserts into the case. Mechanically they stated the watch was 0.5 seconds a day fast. With that accuracy I could only assume the fall if anything improved the accuracy since that is better than I could have hoped for on any timepiece.What I am left with is a mechanically sound, structurally uncertain watch with a noticeable chip to the naked eye. I could live with the chip as a battle wound if I kne

OEM Leather or Rubber on SS Watches
Any theories on why Rolex doesn't put non-metal bracelets on SS watches?They save leather and oysterflex straps for PM watches. A Sub or GMT would like great on oysterflex, and DJ 41 would like great on leather.
