bump, the date change acts like this: Video link: http://vimeo.com/79497065 password if needed is repgeek Starting at the 29th. 29 @ 6 29 @ 12 29 @ 12 29 @ 12 29 @ 11 date change Then at 30th. it just keeps on going several times before the date changes.

Im having some issues with my Diver v3.5 with both winding and the date change. First of, the watch does not seem to wind as it does not start when Im winding the crown. The characteristic winding sound is present, but the seconds hand does not move. The watch runs when I give it a shake and wear the watch. Second, when setting the time the date does not change at 12. The interval of the change can be anywhere from 24-36hrs. Sometimes it changes at 5-6am (or at least I think its after when its supposed to change), but frankly I have no idea whats what with this atm. Its very confusing and such a shame as this watch is indeed the most beautiful piece Ive owned. The date change mechanism on the crown works as it should. Please, some advice would be appreciated. I have also made an enquiry to Domi asking if this is something he can adress. Thanks alot, and have a good day and weekend everyone! Cheers

I made a similar thread on my vintage seamaster over at RG. http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=209581 Serial number should be printed to the movement, and you should be able to find the production year (+-1) on the database mentioned above. I recently delivered mine to my watch smith to have the movement overhauled, case polished + new crown, crystal and strap. Should look pretty awesome once its done. Good luck with yours!

No hijacking, but is there (or interest for) a league at premierleague.com ?

16610

wow, great write up. I myself own the WM9 v1, and this actually enlightened me alot. thanks alot!

Having bought an Omega PO 42mm as my starter rep and a WM9 franken 16610 later of, I have gotten the feel of this game and I want to explore the opportunities of the APs. I have had my eyes on these for a while now, and been reading alot both on here and rg. I have gotten the impression that the v3.5 diver is a good starter, I will definitely get one of those down the road (as well as the FC diver as soon as all is sorted out with that one, lol), but I am hopelessly in love with the ROO safari right now. Can anyone please enlighten me if there are different versions and makers of this? If so, which is the better one? Im also interested in some input regarding the rep strap, and if its a good investment getting another higher quality strap. This thread, http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/153234-ap-royal-oak-offshore-safari-the-review/, had me interested. This safari looks absolutely stunning, and is somewhat what Im looking for. Is this the piece the TDs are currently offering? The hornback strap displayed there is also magnificent. Is there a way to buy straps from mr. Jacob strapmaker? How do I get in touch with him? Are these the same watches from the dealers?

All replies are appreciated and welcome. Thanks alot in advance!

yeah Im really glad I got my hands on a WM9 as they are imo the better 16610 rep out there. And the gen insert compliments the watch also replacing the WM9 pearl which I think could have been better. As I never wore an Oyster bracelet before I have now learned about the feel and how light they are. Thing is its very snugg and I have no spare links so Im looking to buy another one. Preferably a TC or WM9. Anyone gots?
