The Watch Thread - Part 12

[arc13]

Have hammerhead bronze, may be different from brass, my experience with no swimming, just normal usage: case oxidised fast, bezel oxidised comparatively slower, bezel notch (inner portion) still not oxidised till date

Yep, will do so.

Wanted to take pictures and ask yesterday, but forgot.

It's not super obvious, but the bezel is now a bit more rose/dark color. And of course, the crown has always been a brighter color.

By oxidize at different rates, you mean the color also changes to different degree? Interesting.

Anyways, I still can't decide if I'm ok with not having a uniform color across the whole watch case, haha.

Hi guys anybody saw Hulk at AD recently? I have a friend looking for one. Thanks!

Hey guys, just curious about something and hope you guys can answer this.

I'm concerned about the servicing for the Panda Speedy. If I send it to Omega, will they replace the dial and hands back to the 3570 ones? I read that they will unless the piece is fully converted into another. Which it is in my case.

Also, if I send it to a third-party watchmakef to service my watch, I'm afraid that the silver hands will break as I read online that they are susceptible to breaking when removing the hands. I'm afraid of them breaking as it's pretty hard to source the silver hands now.

Thanks!

I only sent my speedy to get authenticated previously so can't advise on what they will do. I reckon, it will be safer to get it in its original state before sending in though.

What exactly are you looking to get it serviced for?

I'm hoping the inner part of the bezel turns a chocolately brown, while the outer ring remains brighter

Just hope little or no green appears.

Wah thanks for sharing! Would expect him to have bought a new original hand and replace at the bare minimum..

The worst is he wasn't upfront with the mistake. How do we know if unseen parts are replaced with aftermarket parts during servicing? Jin scary...

Just maybe to lubricate the movement, keep it running tip-top since my watch was from 2003 and have not been serviced since. But I'm worried that if I change back to its original form, the silver hands will break when removing.

if the panda dial came originally with the watch, no need to fiddle with it unless it was aftermarket.

doesn't make sense to find a 3rd party watchmaker open up the watch to put back the original dial just to send it again to swatch for overhaul. can't you just bring the watch together with the original dial to prove that it has original parts?

ofrei.com may have omega parts should your hands break. just check to ensure they have stock of the hands you need. but if you're sending to the swatch, it shouldn't matter since they should have all the parts, right?
