Authenticwatches is a very bad idea, you will be lucky if you get the correct watch and not a franken, then you will be even luckier if the watch you get works. If you send it back to them they will work on it and chances are they will mess it up even more. I see that John R. has given you his AD, I suggest you trade e-mails or a phone call with them to see what your watch will cost, I think you will be surprised to see how good of a price you will get, I know I was when I contacted them. And even if it is slightly more money, you will be assured a genuwine Omega. There have been people here who bought from authenticwatchs and have spent more time without their watch than with it, and when they got it back found that the problem it had was not fixed. Call John's AD before you make a decision.
