Hello, I got the new incabloc spring and it fit perfectly. Some may remember from my last post, that the other one seemed slightly too big and it was. Now there is a new problem, the date will not turn over by spinning the hands past midnight. I think its a problem with either the double calendar setting wheel (560-1559) or the date indicator driving wheel (563-1564) because I can see the date indicator wheel reach the teeth on the date wheel (the one with the actual numbers), but it stops as if it doesn't have enough power to turn it over. I also crushed the tube of sweep second hand trying to tighten it so that it wouldn't spin, but its no good now! I need a new sweep second hand and cannot find a S.S. one. Has anyone had the problem of the date not turning over at midnight like this? Thanks for any insight anyone can provide. JC

Hi all, I am new to the site and looking at buying my first quality watch. I have been looking for many months and have read multiple tips etc. I am currently very fond of the omega constellation double eagle pre 2009. I am looking at circa 2005 (automatic co axial) with the black face I will try to paste an image below. The model suits me as I feel it's a fairly subtle gentlemen's watch. I personally feel the later double eagles have gone away from the constellation values and have turned to much into a sports watch. Do you agree? I am aware the double eagle is designed slightly sport like but I still prefer the older model to the new one. As said this is my first watch of any value and I have decided to buy a pre owned as I don't want the substantial deprecation you would get get buying new. However I am not looking at making a profit if I do decide to sell but would like a watch that holds it value well. I'm looking at paying circa £1200 Is my choice a good one your advice is much appreciated. Thanks Leighton
