Persistence pays off yet again (aka: Incoming!)
I really like the whole group of watch nuts I talk to on a regular basis, whether they're part of the NYC gang, local Joizey WISs, or members of the VΩBT (vintage Omega brain trust) that live too far to visit. However, I feel bad for them when they grab a watch that should be in my collection instead of theirs. They'll be incessently pestered, harangued, persuaded, and begged to sell it to me. I'm as relentless as the change of season..and it worked again. Can't really blame the seller of this watch for needing the funds though because he's snagged some incredible Omegas recently - two or three that even the most experienced collectors were in envy of. But that made it necessary for him to part with something I bugged him about nearly every phone conversation we had since he grabbed it out from under my nose (and made sure to publicly tell me HERE). So I'm stealing one of the original seller's pictures for this thread until I can shoot a few of my own when it arrives:This wo

Question about Hamilton BelowZero H785550
Good Afternoon All,New to the forum and so happy to have found this community. I have had many watches through the years, but as I get old I have moved away from having uber expensive trendy brand names and decided that for me quality, uniqueness, and functionality are the most important things. I have divested B&M, B&R, and a few other recognizable names.I found the Hamilton BelowZero H785550 out of the blue, sold all of my other watches, and this has become my favorite automatic time piece I¡¯ve owned to date.

I bought the watch from ashford . com where they assure their watches are direct from the manufacturer and 100% authentic. When I look at the watch face in the image attached, between the SWISS__6__MADE there are 3 numerals:333. I looked at the watch on the Hamilton web site and there

15703 Diver Bezel
I was wondering if anyone happened to know the cost of a new steel bezel for the 15703 diver. Has this been a scratch magnet for the Diver enthusiasts? If so, would like to see some banged up pics

Help for Seamaster Chrono Purchase
Greetings Omega lovers from a TRF member who mostly is in the Rolex camp.As I am not an Omega expert, I need help regarding the purchase of a blue 225.80.00 Seamaster Chronometer. This purchase will be completed on behalf of my boss's wife who asked me to handle the details regarding a gift for his 40th birthday.My boss is a real wakeboard fanatic (as well as many other sports) having purchased a special boat manufactured solely for this water sport. He has indicated to me he really liked the Seamaster Chrono which he tried on in a store on Rodeo Drive in his last trip to that area.The question is - do you think this style of Omega watch is a good everyday wearer or is it strictly for water sport occasions? I handled one at an Omega AD and the sucker weights a ton!! I also believe this model is not available with the heavily touted Co-Axial movement - do you think this would be a deal breaker??I checked the thread regarding the Seamaster, and although I gleaned a lot of mostly positive
