Versace Black Dial Black Leather Ladies Watch M6Q99D008S009

Incoming Elgin
Bought this from the auction site, I've decided not to fight it anymore: I need a cool "new" watch to play with every week or so; I can't help myself.This is a neat one, big 35mm case, with a great dial. I added the Hadley bracelet which seems appropriate, as Hadley was a division of the Elgin co.

Speedy in the snow
Playing with the kids outside in the snow, timing how long they played.

O ring part of service or an extra?
I gave my watch to a local jeweler who said it would be cleaned,lubricated scratches removed etc. We agreed on a price ($300) which is cheaper than his normal rate on the premise if I was satisfied with his work I would give him another watch to do the same. He calls yesterday and say the watch needs an Oring which is $75. He said its a genuine omega part. He also said there was an alternate for like $20. Is this the normal pricing for an Oring or is does something sound askew?

My second Omega .... Blown away!
Words cannot describe the beauty of this watch. I'm still pinching myself and picking up my jaw from the floor everytime I look at it.I am still stoked and have the major butterflies after picking this up. I didn't imagine I would actually go through with it but I did. Walked into the local AD and after I saw it...BAM...It was love at first sight and then said to myself...Dam, shouldn't have come in here LOL.Did I mention I'm still picking up my jaw from the floor.....Enjoy the eye candy cause there is ALOT of it below :)

Speedmaster Reproduction
The person responsible for the following site has documented the reproduction of a pre-moon Speedmaster with the 321 movement:kawai3.hp.infoseek.co.jp/eng-speedmaster.htmlI have skimmed this site several times, and it remains unclear to me how this person acquired the necessary parts and at what cost.Do I correctly understand that genuine parts still exist on the retail market and that a person could build or have built a pre-moon Speedmaster with a 321 movement?A new Speedmaster (meaning, NOT a Speedmaster Professional) has a lot of appeal.I wonder why Omega has not reissued this watch and passed on the added expense of this level of quality to the customer.After all, look what people pay for a Rolex Daytona.I'd much rather have a new Speedmaster with a 321 movement (and a reproduction case back with no first watch on the moon writing).Does a market exist for a real reproduction from Omega (faithful except for the tritium)?And, does the 321 movment really represent a higher level of q
