Hi all. I need some advice on to how to proceed, especially from those of you living in the USA.

Had a watch purchased on eBay about 10 days ago by a buyer from the US. Shipped it via registered airmail with tracking and signature on delivery. Even though it has to go over the Atlantic, these don't usually take more than 10 days. By the 7th day it was delivered, with tracking updating as "Delivered to front desk/reception/mail room". However, the buyer claims that he hasn't actually…

Hi all. I've been trying to level up on my watch photography in lighting, use of props and backgrounds, and post processing. These I've posted on my IG (hence the square format), but thought I'd share them here too. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated of course.

I'm looking for a single link for an Omega 1479 bracelet. This model was produced until ~1996 for the Speedmaster Professional series, with the links tapering to 16mm in the clasp.

Hi all. I recently got an Omega Dynamic, I believe it to be reference 166.039 with a manual wind cal. 613. I'm trying to open it up, so I can check and photograph the movement, but no luck.

I've opened a few top loader Dynamics, Cosmic, and De Ville, so I wasn't expecting any holdbacks. Pushed the crown to the 2nd position (date advance), removed it, and pushed the "male" split stem into the neutral position so it would clear the tube. Tried rotating the dial counter clockwise but it…
