    D Bill have a good reputation but another refinisher I have heard of is V Soni. As already noted above, refinishers can't work miracles and even a good redial might differ slightly form the original....

    Got a link? I just searched on "Omega 2264" and I got 1£1,887 as the cheapest Japanese one. I may be doing something daft!

    Including tax? You are seeing 2264s advertise in Japan at £1,250? I am not I must say. Cheapest Japanese one on there right now is priced at £1,887 plus tax. So around £2,300 landed. They are cheaper...

    Near impossible if you bite your nails or engage in manual work. Damned hard to wind too.

    Nonsense.

    At the current rate of price increases, we'll hit that in 4 years!

    No this one is sapphire only. I think even Omega are a tad embarrassed by offering a plastic crystal on a £6K watch so all new Speedy editions have sapphire now. I guess it is only anchoring to the...

    It makes sense that an Olympian would have one I suppose, perhaps received as a sponsor gift, but as you suggest these were not big sellers it seems, over here at least, mine was originally supplied...

    Yep I did exactly the same with the Ultraman. And I too can't get over how downright jealous I am of those who didn't sell out and watched its value climb to near double. It's enough to make you...

    Gonna go with this. Happy to be proved wrong if anyone else has one but I suspect not. Not everyone's cup of tea I am sure, but it has a lovely enamel dial in the flesh with a kind of mash up pocket...

    Rude or not, if you don't think at least one of those I showed is a ringer for the Pro I give up. Stick to Zenith if you must.

    Sorry for the delay was OTP watching the rugby most of yesterday. Granted the Grail is a bit pricey but the others are not. As you infer, there are also 2 register designs and the other smaller 7750...

    Keep up. Omega have offered about 5 different kinds of automatic Speedmaster (in the Moonwatch case and similar) and have been doing so since around 1985. The fact is the manual wind version outsells...

    Yep it's nuts. And yet you can still buy a 3313 movement Broad Arrow Sapphire Sandwich model which uses the same case as the Pro (and a rather more upmarket movement) for less than £3K all day long....

    I suspect it is a way of ratcheting up the price of existing stock so that when they launch the white dial Speedy then can do so at around or slightly above the level of the sapphire sandwich model...

    My thoughts exactly. If you only buy when you know you can sell at 20% over your outlay, this isn't for you, even at this level of discount. But then as you say that applies to 95% of the watch...

    These are decent pieces and offer Omega quality at half the price or less. No I wouldn't pay £2K for one either but in the low to mid teens they are a sensible proposition. They use a 70 hour...

    This is perfectly normal now for a Swatch group brands. Omega domed sapphires are now £600 plus and have been for a few years. The flat or less domed ones are approaching £250+. It’s obscene but it’s...

    Nice work. Looks good with what looks like Shimano GRX stuff so a cut above the basic version. A similar in fact better spec than mine. You need to strip off that demoralising sticker though in case...

    I’ve got a Ribble Gravel Al. It’s fine on the road and pretty good off it but it’s no mountain bike. I use it all year round, on 37mm off road tyres in winter and something narrower in summer. What...
