Zenith Men's Port Royal Open Concept Watch

How many of you wear your Rolex to the gym, gardening, washing the car, painting,etc?
I always wear my Rolex now - even if I'm cleaning the deep dish wheels of my car, even at the gym lifting barbells. I just make sure I'm really careful with it and that it doesn't clang into any metal objects! When I'm cleaning the car wheels, I just make sure that I use my right hand to get in there deep, the hand that doesn't hold my watch (as it would get scratched). When doing grimy, sweaty, dirty yard work, I don't bother taking off my watch but try to never smash it against anything. I've been lucky so far and neither watch is gouged and the bezel on my YM is surprisingly perfect. There are alot of fine scratches on the bracelet of both watches but that's to be expected and neither watch is noticeably worn badly to the casual eye. I used to worry about wearing them to the gym and cleaning my car with them on, but I've come to the conclusion that life is too short to totally baby them. Plus, if I take it off while I'm cleaning my wheels, Murphy's Law is that they'll get eve

Omega owners! Did you get your COSC certificates?
Since I bought the 2531.80 last December, I didn't get a chance to email Omega after sales service until a few weeks ago. I asked for the Omega COSC test certificate (not the Chronometre card).I finally got it, and its a big 8.5x11 sheet with the timing tests done to the movement. I got my watch Dec 06, but the test date was Oct 05.Anybody else got theirs from Bienne?

Hi I¡¯m trying to find an original Rolex watch winder made in either the green or the tan colour can anyone help me find one

got my first rolex today
it's also my first post here.short version:it's my birthday this week, and the conversation with my wife went like this:me: i was actually thinking of buying a rolex i found.her: no.me: no?her: no, i'm going to buy it for you. happy birthday.long version:this is really more of an introduction of myself. it was only last year that i decided i wanted to start wearing a watch again, after some 20+ years.i had no idea what i liked, so i visited shops and spent hours looking online. i read some dumb article classifying watches into groups and i decided that i didn't like divers because they all looked the same (turns out they all looked like submariners, ha).over some months, learning my tastes along the way, i bought some decent but inexpensive automatics, and definitely did not want a Rolex. part was cost, part was growing up in steel mill country after the mills went bust and (to this day) maybe having a reaction against ostentatious displays of wealth.but something funny happened when i

Date change/sign of service need?
Hello everybody,Long time lurker in need of a little perspective. This subject has been posted here ad nauseam (I read most of the threads before posting this) but I didn’t quite find an answer to this:I recently purchased a GMT Master II 16710 from 1991 from a very reputable dealer on the west coast. Watch runs perfectly, very stable, not slow nor fast. I’m currently in Europe and because of the time difference I happened to be awake to hear the date change a few nights ago. When I looked, it wasn’t midnight but 12:14 and it’s been consistent every single night at the same time. Since it’s consistent and the watch is running fine, I’m assuming that the watchmaker who last serviced it, wasn’t careful enough to set the minute hand properly. My question is: despite the watch running well, could this lateness in the date change (consistent and all) be an indication of deteriorating lubrication? The dealer has offered to have his watchmaker adjust
