Back in town for a week! A happy family reunion:

Thinking of selling the Crepas to focus purely on vintage though. Maybe when I'm back for good in July.

nice collection :)
like the "orange boy" much.

Technically not an orange boy, orange boy has white subdials, and also far more pricey... That's why I think I settle for one more 1163v and I'll be happy, it's far more affordable!

The top left is the seamaster 120 big blue chrono. Except it's missing the bezel insert, and the crystal is banged up quite bad. I've got a replacement crystal, and the bezel insert is on it's way. Anyone has any idea what place locally is good and able to work on these vintage Omegas, e.g. bezel swap on speedy, crystal swap, etc.? I asked Mr Goh at K2 but he can't help with either case...

Rollie or Patek?

So what I gathered is those just "made it in life" and want to announce to the world buy a Rolex. Then those past that stage and want a non overstated elegance buy a Patek. Rolex is wear everyday watch Patek is a safe queen.
