    Actually it was Beijing. It was recently in the NYTimes and Wall Street Journal. Something about a mini coup in local government. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    For the price of a gen Nomos does a rep really make sense? You get a manufacture movement in a classic watch for an amazing price. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    Planet Ocean's used to be fitted with a Omega 2500C which is a modified 2892-A2. If the case dimensions are similar to a genuine I don't see why you can't fit in a better movement. However, I really have no knowledge of reps so don't take my word for it.

    A great scent for the warm months ahead. The longetivity and sillage is wonderful on Hermes fragrances.

    Opium EDP Is it worth adding to a collection? Is this one I should not miss?

    Yes I said no more, but I needed a bit of retail therapy. The previous week was a bit tough. I may be finished now though. I guess we shall see in the near future.

    Push the crown in and turn. You should hear a faint click. Don't force it too hard.

    I wouldn't suggest practicing on this watch. I would bring it to a trusted watch maker. Perhaps buy a cheap movement and practice with that? It's a beautiful watch and a decent movement from Omega. It would be horrible to break or lose a part and not be able to wear the watch.

    Before putting the watch into rotation I would have it fully serviced. The movement looks like it is in excellent condition overall. You can't beat the value of the old Omega's for the price these days.

    I believe the stem on that watch is male/female but I am not 100%.

    There are several high yield bond funds that are doing quite well at the moment. Much better than the 3% you quoted However, the point of my post was that a watch should be worn and not hidden away.

    You've never worn the gen Explorer? What's the purpose of owning a watch if you are going to keep it in the safe? Watches are meant to be worn on the wrist and enjoyed. If you are looking at watches as an investment vehicle, there are much better choices available. While a watch may not lose value over the years, it will not gain as much as stocks or bonds.

    I can't see the pics on my phone, but are sure the movement isn't reached by removing the dial and crystal?
