I sent my Speedmaster in to NJ two Fridays ago. Looks like it was delivered a week ago today. But I've received no confirmation from Omega/Swatch that they have it. Not sure if that's normal?

Thanks in advance

I have to admit it, I was the biggest critic of the 4th gen planet ocean (PO) when it came out. I didn’t like the loss of the helium escape valve, the display back and the date, and that is a pretty long list. After seeing the watch in the flesh, contemplating, meditating and pontificating, I now confess to being wrong, well except maybe about the date :)

We have to bear in mind, that the planet ocean is not a mass…

I have and older gen 1 X-33 currently residing on a leather strap. I was wondering if there were any Titanium alternatives for this watch? The OEM bracelet is scarce and pretty expensive. Since this is and occasional wear watch, I really don’t want to spend 600+ USD on a bracelet.

These seem to have come below retail price now in the secondary market (at least in the UK). Does anyone know how the availability is for new? I recall at some-point omega boutiques wanted over 100k in spend to be considered for this.

Before that, I took my wife over to a nearby shopping centre so that she could try on a new watch.

Hello, I also posted this on the clock forum but since it is Omega I put it here also. I picked this up a couple of days ago well just because I have never seen one before. I have a small collection of Omega watches and just had to have it. With that being said, I can not find any history on it and I am hoping someone here can help me out with it. It is about 3.5 feet tall, it has a battery pack with ac wall plug also. Any help or information on it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I'm a longtime member of WUS and other watch forums, but this is my first post in the Omega section.

A couple weeks ago, I had the chance to pick up a well loved Seamaster. It came with a beat up box, but no paperwork. For the past 5 days it is running less than 2 spd slow in a range of positions overnight.

I've been searching the web and looking at pictures. I'm pretty sure it is a 2220.80.

Please confirm or help me to identify the…

I've spoken to two jewellers about replacing the pins and tubes in my Seamaster bracelet and I've been given a price of about £190 from both. Does that seem right as the number feels high?
