That's nice. We really would like 300m (or at very least 200m) water resistance, though.

No worries, it was a good suggestion, thanks!

Hm. One solution might be a second-hand Longines Explorer, some of which come with all the requirements we need...
OK so had a chat this morning and it seems that since she saw the Armida A6, she would really like a similar watch with a white face. It turns out this is because she was once given, and loved the...
Thanks, that is nice. I think it's a quartz, though not an auto?
We generally ‘get’ each other’s taste in things pretty well. It’s not a surprise gift, though, so she’s seen the watches - she disliked the dreadnought.
Understood on the movements.
Does anyone know about seals in this regard?
The diver is spectacular, thanks for making me aware of these. Yes outside my budget for this but will consider the brand in future.
The same question as above - are these 3rd party serviceable in...
Thanks, yes that would be useful to know in general, in fact.
Yes very much like the brand combination of styling, functionality and pricing - very interesting to me. In fact, have emailed them to find out more info.
Understood re: the ETA movement - are...
Thanks I’ll check them out.
In fact, having looked at Armida, I've found a potential option I didn't know existed; a 300m water resistant "dress" watch (without numbered, rotating bezel) which doesn't look like a diver, but has...
Thanks, that does look nice!
Not personally heard of the brand - are they any good (and long-term serviceable)?
Hm... in fact though, can you get an Omega mid-size in an automatic, or are they quartz only...?
In which case the Davosa in blue looks very good.
I had hoped to spend about half that, though,...
First of all, apologies to all who replied as I've not been getting email notifications of posts on the thread so just found all these. Must be a setting, but I can't see what as I'm subscribed and...
Hi All,
Just looking for a decent quality diver for my wife. I naively thought I’d pick up an Orient Kamasu in a smaller size, but can’t find any Orient divers in less than about a 42mm - do they...
Thanks, will have a look at them!
Hi Paul,
Thanks for this, but I have neither the knowledge, skills, or equipment to carry out that procedure, I'm afraid!
I purchased the watch from a dealer approximately 3 years ago, and...
Seems not to be self-winding, or at least very reduced self-winding (i.e. I have to wind manually every few days or it stops).
I love mine!

Hi,
Hope this is the most appropriate forum to ask on! I think my Omega 2254.50.00 could do with a service and was wondering if my best bet Omega themselves, or whether there are some reputable...
Cool, that all makes sense!
That's also helpful to know it's the same as a Speedmater link.
I've had a chance to have a closer look at how to do this myself (Omega couldn't do a bracelet adjust...
Ah, that would explain it! ;)
Oh sorry I missed the end of this, so it looks like it's ok to go backwards...
Thanks guys,
OK so no changing the date within a few hours of midnight. Check.
Is it OK to turn the hands both ways when setting time/date, though, or should I only wind forwards?
Got my Phoenix yesterday and ordered my Timefactors, so it will be interesting to compare them! The Phoenix, as DarrenB says, is very thin and fine weave (which I found pleasantly surprising). Good...
