I had it reconditioned at a local jeweler in Mclean, Virginia. The reconditioning did not last long and I am sure I paid too much. One of the chrono buttons is dead and the second hand has fallen off again. If you find a specialist, who does quality work, please post the contact information. Thanks
My father was an office manager and was really into nice pens and nice watches. Before my father passed from cancer when I was really young he had a nice watch. They had to sell it due to medical bills. From his pictures it looks like a Rolex Submariner. So ever since I've always wanted one. Someday I'll get one and can pass it on to my kids as a family heirloom from father to son. I've always had the idea of when we "eventually" have a child that I'd buy them a decent starter watch when they graduated high school. And if taken care of I'd pass down my Rolex when they get their first real professional adult job. Maybe some day I'll get to do that.
@Sweeperdk: is that ^ a fixed bezel on that watch? It sure is good looking! Wear and use it for many years in good health! L'chaim! Moshe ben David
My wife gave me a 1945 Atacama for an anniversary present one year. I like it a lot. My eyeballs can actually read the gigantic numbers with ease. (Not so much the itty bitty dials.)
Omega Skywalker X-33.. I just can't justify a couple months + worth of rent on a watch.. at least at this moment. I've looked up the nearest Omega shop and took down their number though, you know.. just in case I crack
I have wanted an IWC Big Pilot ever since I saw it. I have held it in my hands and with a gleam in my eye. I think it would fit me very well as I have big wrists (8.5” to 8.75” depending on the season). I will never have one because I can see no way to justify spending over $10,000 on a watch. I am still going to drool every time I see one.
