Ready to Purchase - AP ROC 26331. Now for some questions...
I am on the runway so to speak to obtain this piece (blue dial!) and I have never dealt with the AP boutique, an AP AD , or a trusted seller (e.g. DavidSW) on such a purchase. It's my first major high end watch purchase so I want to do this right. So, here are some thoughts and questions for the AP forum folks (and by the way, thanks for all of the education I've received in reading these many threads!)1.Want it shipped to avoid sales tax (so, other considerations aside, this leaves out the boutique as I live in NY). Unless the extra warranty period is worth paying the sales tax, and full retail price. Has anyone made this tradeoff specifically for their AP purchases?2.I am interested in finding the best deal possible. At least one AD emphasized (while complimenting my choice, of course) that it's a rare watch which I assume is their way of saying we can get one, but don't expect a discount (or much of one) . I'd be curious if any other forum members have had this experience. I have

Newbie to the site
Hello to all!I have been a fan of Omega watches for a long time, just recently bought an Omega 50th anniversary, Bond LE.Before joining this forum, I had been on many times to read many of the threads on all of these fine watches. I know that for the most part, the Bond, 300m has not been fully appreciated, but it is my first Omega and very proud of my ownership.I would just like to say hello, and happy to be a part of the future discussions.

DO IT! It took me about a year to finally decide have it done. I only regret I didn't do it sooner. I highly recommend LA Watchworks. $90 + shipping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Advice for picking an "engagement watch"
First off, I just want to say thank you to this forum. I just found it a few days ago, and I have read many threads and feel like I've learned a lot! I would like to buy my boyfriend a watch as an engagement gift. He is new to luxury watches, as am I, though I would love a rose gold Lady DJ. We've looked at some online as well as in a store, and tried some on. The ones we liked the most were:Blue sky dwellerBlue date just 41, diamond indices, jubilee bandTwo-tone Daytona with a white face.He really liked the date just, but I'm afraid the diamonds might make it too dressy for everyday wear. He travels for work, so he would use the 2nd time zone on the sky dweller on most days. The Daytona he liked because he likes things to mess with, and it had lots of action to indulge his ADD. I want to make sure I get him something he can wear on most days, knowing it's more likely to be an heirloom than something resold as an investment. Any men here wear diamonds daily? Any advice on getting a new
