Mike V;n58493 said:I have no concrete evidence that it actually hurts a mechanical movement, but I do not wear them. Reason? I took a class with TAG last year. During the shotgun phase (55 12ga high brass shells) I had an ink pen in my pocket that had the point damn near blow out. Ink all over. So I know for a fact there is concussion. Question is is it enough to cause harm to the movement. At about $200 to have them serviced professionally, I would rather not risk it.

One of my favourite watches. Dial was refinished, but they did a nice job.
I have a SS Constellation and a couple old Seamasters:

Constellation could use a new crystal.
Nice watches!
Omega crystals are expensive, but at least I can still get most of them. Yours may have originally had a magnifier over the date window.
