Sea Of Tranquillity. Apollo 11

Sometimes, we regret the chance we never had.

In my case, it was Apollo 11.

This watch was released in 2019, to mark the 50th anniversary of the first OMEGA Speedmaster to walk on the lunar surface.

I was not into watches in 2019 (that’s not true, …

Is the Silver Snoopy worth 15k?

Forgive me. I don’t know much about watches. As far as build and materials go, how does the snoopy compare to other watches at its price point? The commemorative value doesn’t mean much to me. I just love the aesthetics.

When did Omega stop using tritium lume?

When did Omega stop using tritium? Was it at the same as Rolex? (which I believe was 1997-98)

The reason I ask is that I own a quartz Omega 2541.80 (the GoldenEye watch) that has a serial number dating to 1995. But the lume on the dial and hands glows…

321 Ed White vs FOIS

I'm interested in the 321 Ed White. I have been after my AD to track one down for me for almost a year now, but since the FOIS came out, I thought this could be the answer to the 321 at a much cheaper price. I probably will never sell either one…

Omega Speedmaster or Rolex Daytona.

So I know this as been done in some way or another more than 1000 times, but I want to look at it on each watches own merit. History and resale value is a large part of why people buy one of these two watches, however I want to get peoples options ( I…

New watch day: 321 Ed White!

A bit of a cheer up after my troubles with the watch cleaning machine, I got the call on an Ed White! I dropped everything and headed to my boutique and picked it up.

I was afraid it would be too much like my Hesalite 1861, but frankly, they are oddly…

Planet Ocean Chrono 9300 – Rotor dust??

Hi everyone,

Noticed this on my new to me 9300 powered Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph. I’m not sure what the source is but I noticed there’s red dust in the main rotor towards the center arms that connects to the center bearing. (Not a watch maker so …

How does the 39.5mm Planet Ocean wear vs. the Seamaster 300?

I recently acquired a Seamaster 300 midsize (36mm), but I am starting to think it looks just a bit too small on my 6.8'' wrist.

I was able to visit my local Omega boutique the other day, and while they had the standard Seamaster 300 (42mm), …

Planet Ocean

Hi All

I bought a used planet ocean and I need to add links, does anyone happen to know what size the screws are, as I have nothing that small already.

T.I.A.

Seamaster Professional 2531.80 ever come w/ 1502/824 and Planet Ocean Clasp?

Hi everyone,

I'm being offered a Seamaster Pro 300M ref. 2531.80.00, with serial number 80893642, which should place its production around 2004–2005.

The watch appears to be all-original in terms of case, dial, and movement — it has the Omega 11…
