they are much less here in the US of A.
An excellent example can be had here for about $1500US.
I think that's because they are so abundant here.
What I will say is get a Speedmaster Pro. The...
You are thinking of the Planet Ocean who's HE valve lines up differently than the SMP Chrono.
The SMP has a 7750 movement and you can check yours against the pix of one I used to own.

I always prefer a NATO, usually nylon. Watch is safer when swimming should a pin fail.

a 3 jaw case wrench. They gave me a box large enough to hold a TV!
I offered to check my ballpoint pen, but they declined.
Stupid is forever…
I wouldn't risk a strap tool. Put it in your...
I was very excited about getting my 3536 aquatimer.
Once I wore it, I was disappointed. Moved it on the next week!

I would use acetone or nail polish remover that contains acetone.
Be careful, it shouldn't hurt any thing.
Or, pop the bezel off to be safer.

I had one of those. Fine watch. Flipped it after 2 1/2 years.
Since so much paint is already missing, I'd remove the rest. I think the look of a plain steel bezel might surprise you. Then if you...

<QUOTE>He asked me what it was worth and would I be interested in buying it. That rather put me on the spot so I told him that Rolex only made one quartz model and it wasn't a "Precision", I also...

that the serial number on the movement matches the one on the seven o'clock lug.
When I bought mine, the seller opened the watch and confirmed
that the numbers matched.
I've seen several with...

Then it will be the buyer's responsibility to

Good luck… Joel M

I almost sold it.
Tried it on a blue NATO and it
is quite comfortable.
Without the weight of the bracelet
it's just right for me.
Very glad I didn't let it go.
That is the hairspring stud "holder" and is used to hold the stud end of the hairspring and to adjust the beat of the watch. If you put the watch out of beat, or if it is already out of beat, a...
You probably won't damage back if done this way.
I open Rolexes the same way with a Rolex type wrench.
Make sure to press down FIRMLY on wrench.
Practice on an "unloved" watch first!

This is a go anywhere watch, and it's tough as nails. I wear one as an everyday watch for weeks/months at a time. Then I switch to something else for an extended period. That's my watch wearing...
Congratulations on quitting. I'm off them for three years.
