Omega made this 'cheaper' skin diver in the 60's for people who didn't need the 300 diver.

Most AT's cost more than a Rolex OP now… (and they are more dress-watch than tool-watch)…

You either play the game and enjoy the journey… or go find something else.

I think the people who complain about 'wait lists' and AD games are not serious buyers… cuz it ain't that hard.

To say I'm happy would be an understatement… The cost was 1/5 the price of a new service bracelet, and I keep the watch original to its 1979 roots.

Its time to show the Jubilee on my 16014 some love, and see about getting its stretch fixed.

Who are the people i should call up? I know people like Roliworks, any companies on the west side of the US (or middle.. etc)? I'll probably use Roliworks due to their reputation… but i thought i'd do my homework.

I recently got my hands on one of my grail watches.. A 16030 Buckley dial with the sweet, sweet, patina that only comes from being around since the Jimmy Carter Administration.

Its obvouse that the lume on the minute hand has been falling off for some time, because the date disk numbers are all scratched up.. and since the date disk is WRONG (frick'n closed 9's!!) i assume it was replaced for the same reason at some point.
