Hi all, it’s the long weekend and I see a Seamaster deep black that I really love and want to purchase.
Sadly, the person that I want to purchase it from is about three hours away. Most places are closed for authentication. He has the full kit other than the metas card. He does have a service receipt. But I just wanna make sure that it’s authentic before I make a 3 Hour drive and waste my Sunday.
With pictures, cereal, and a service receipt is there any way that someone can help me…

Hi,

As I have been roaming the forum for a couple of years, with the latest snoopy thread I decided to finally sign up. I have had several omega in the collection in the past, but the last years the speedmaster (yes again…) has become a primary subject. Hope to learn and enjoy more of it through the forum.

I am happy to share mine, each has his own little story but that's for later.

Korean Redial vibe in a new watch.

Having experienced numerous bright and boisterous redials seemingly centered in Korea clogging up my eBay searches, I am mortified to see them go mainstream. It appears Orient has brought the style mainstream. You may want to avert your eyes.
