Nightshade1

Ok looks like I just need to get it lubed then. And also get an auto watch winder. Phew I thought the watch was dying on me already! Where's a good place to get a nice watch winder? I've been looking on Ebay but there sure is some cheap looking tat on there!

Since wearing the Omega is has got very noisy I can feel the watch vibrate as the rotor spins too. And if I shake the watch up, hang it by its strap, the watch jiggles around as the rotor spins. Also the watch stopped last night after leaving it for 5 hours. I only wore it for a few hours yesterday but am sure this should happen. I'm not sure if the two are related. What's going on?!

Well I found a cheap jewellers and had the links removed. I told him it was a rep, and did he mind working on it... did he heck. It feels great on Great weight to it. Much more of a sense of occasion wearing it than the B&R. Overall i'm very very happy with the watch. The only thing that bugs me is the orange numbers on the face don't look as 'bright' an orange as I remember the gen looking. I am going to stop by an AD and check out a gen to compare. If you look at this pic you see what I mean. But it's only a minor thing.

Ignore my last post - I managed to fix it - I just needed to push the crown in further before screwing it in. Better to be too careful with these things I guess. Want to treat it right! Going to find a jewellers later... can't wait to wear it RE: The Bell & Ross - yes agree it's probably not to everyone's tastes, but i'm a graphic designer, so suits me quite well. Think the Omega for the day time is a bit OTT imo.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I will find a corner shop jeweller to do it for me as I don't have the tools. One more thing. I noticed this morning that the date was set wrong, obviously still in China time and 12 hours out. So I unscrewed the crown, set the time forward 12 hours, the date changed to the correct date, but now I'm trying to screw the crown back in clockwise and i'm meeting some resistance and hear a winding noise - I daren't go any further - what could this be? Yesterday when I adjusted the time, it screwed back in no problem. It's the Asian 7750 chrono movement btw.

Well after floating around on this board for a number of months I finally took the plunge and ordered: Omega UPO Chrono, black dial, orange numbers, steel bracelet Bell & Ross BR03-92 black with rubber strap I ordered them from Puretime and they came today. Took a bit longer than expected to arrive (17 days from payment to delivery) but arrived safe and sound by EMS and I'm REALLY happy. Being my first reps I wasn't sure what to expect but the quality and feel of them is nothing short of amazing! I love having the B&R as a stylish day-watch and the Omega for a smart night-watch. Now please excuse a really stupid question but I need links taken out of the Omega to fit my wrist, and I'm not sure where to go. I don't want to take it to a cheap watch shop as I want my Omega(well, rep ) handled carefully. But then I took it to a branch of Goldsmiths today, they said I had to leave it with them for the afternoon, I got a bit panicky and left with the watch as I realised they are an official Omega dealer, might they get funny about it being a rep? I imagine they'd be able to tell. Where's the best place to go?
