Steve’s crystals are fantastic and a great upgrade. I’ve a few of them myself.

What’s the item number?

Happy New Year RWGers. Hope 2019 is a good year for everyone.

QC photos are for you to establish whether the correct watch is being sent to you and for you to ensure that there is no obvious damage, ie hands fallen off, cracked crystal. They are not for posting on the forum to get a general consensus if the watch is acceptable or not. If you have concerns then ask your TD for more photos from other angles or even for another watch if you feel things are too bad.

Very nice. It’s good to something different from the usual and the green dial is spectacular.

I’m on Andrews mailing list so any changes to their website and I’ll get an email with their new domain.

👍🏻 Just need to post up some photos now.

Indeed, happy holidays everyone and may all your wristies come true.

Yes we are a friendly bunch here on the whole. I believe That the tool you need is a mk1 air cooled variable pressure regulator. Here’s a photo, it’s what I use in all my watch related repairs. Or maybe wait until someone (anyone) with more knowledge than me comes along. Keep up the good work though 👍🏻

Very nice. One for each wrist too. Wear in good health.

Whilst I’m not an expert on these old Seamasters, there is nothing that screams rep to me. However, buy the seller not the watch. For example if it’s on eBay, check their feedback and if they have any negative feedback regarding reps or fakes then run a mile. Along with their returns policy - can you buy, inspect and return if it’s a rep?

Any chance of a movement photo?

Sorry I think I made a boob!

Not quite a wristie.......

Wow, that is fantastic. I’m looking forward to more photos.

Our trusted dealers are called that for a reason. Should your watch get ‘lost’ in transit or confiscated by customs, most TD’s will reship it for you. Relax and think about something else as @Champsy said it’s Christmas and the postal services are rushed off their feet.

I have had a gen Speedy Pro that I bought new about 4 years ago. I rarely wear it because I find it annoying to wind. I dislike the crown guards which interfere when winding the watch. I’m now considering trading it for a First Omega In Space which doesn’t have the crown guards. Has anyone experience of the FOIS or indeed the issue with the crown guards?

Now it a Rolex Explorer 2, but the earlier one - 16570 in white Well, until tomorrow when I may change my mind again. I do seem to be going through a Rolex phase again for the first time in years.

The less patience you have the longer it takes it seems! It’s a lottery unfortunately, it can also get held up in customs too. Sometimes the tracking doesn’t update and whilst you’re thinking the watch is still on route to you, bingo, it arrives. I’d say anything from 2-4 weeks isn’t uncommon at this time of year. I’ve just had one arrive from the States in 4 days and that’s a record for me. The last one I had from China was around 2 weeks.
