Hi everyone,

I went to my AD today to get my Omega De Ville tested on a timegrapher. This watch was dead on accurate but has been losing 2-3 seconds a day.

The AD said it’s keeping great time. They were extremely busy and explained quickly the results but I didn’t understand all of it. If anyone can interpret the attached photo, it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I just thought about asking ChatGPT. Hah. Impressive answer:

Would like input on how read Timegrapher results on my Omega

Hey all,

I'm sharing my experience on ordering my first custom strap from Delugs in case it would be helpful to anyone.

I'm a simple guy and usually the off the shelf straps are good enough for me since I don't care about contrast stitching colors and other minuscule features. However, the options were limited for a Cartier Tank XL.

The lug to lug dimension on this watch is rather short so my former strap did not fit as well as I wanted to. It was sitting on the 3rd hole from the end of…

My experience ordering a custom strap from Delugs

Hey guys,

I'm posting this here because most of my watches are by Omega (even though this does not pertain only to them).

A local AD that is pretty well known said they use ultrasonic machines to clean watches. I asked if they put the watch head inside the cleaner or remove it prior, the person I talked to said they put the entire watch in the machine.

I have a Speedmaster Racing that gets worn the most and thought about taking it in for cleaning. But now, I am a bit hesitant. I read…

Input wanted: AD using ultrasonic to clean watches

Hey all,

I don’t wear my AT at night often so I want to inquire with members who own an AT as well.

You can see the date wheel is in the process of changing since it’s near midnight. Is this normal for the movement rather than a swift change at 12am?

This watch doesn’t get worn much admittedly unless the date that’s on it is close enough to the current date because the hacking hour hand function.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

The Zenith Defy Revival A3642 is on my radar. The red dial looks amazing. I also think the gray dial (which some say it is brown?) is also attractive.

I'd appreciate any input from members who own/owned this model, EG how easily does it scratched, what is the precision of your movement, etc.

I like the unique case shape, and this would be my first Zenith. Admittedly, the step ladder bracelet does not appeal to me much so I will probably put it on a leather or rubber…

Thoughts on Zenith Defy Revival A3642?

Hey guys,

I picked up my first Rolex today. It's a (very) early 40th birthday gift to myself. I was inspired by the photos @Lucky_Craft posted on his recently acquired OP: https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/the-unexpected-call-my-first-rolex.5620696/

A sunburst blue dial was on my list. I was not sure if I wanted to get another Omega Aqua Terra or IWC Mark XX or venture to Zenith. Rolex has never been on my radar because I did not want to play the game…

Picked up my first Rolex today.

Hi all,

I am turning 40 this year and using this as an excuse to inquire on my first Rolex. I am eyeing a blue OP in either 36 or 41.

I would appreciate if anyone can suggest AD's in Southern California they've had good experience with.

I can visit them all and asked to be put on the list and hope for the best, but figured to ask for input here first.

Thanks!

edit: went to run errands at Fashion Island and stopped by the AD here. My first time visiting and it was a good experience. The…
