Dial replacement on 15400
Hi everyone,New to the watch world. I have recently taken interest in a watch.. it was a royal oak 15400, and was originally a black dial. The previous owner had sent it to a AP authorized service dealer to have the dial switched out from black to blue. Is there any cause for concern over here? From what i've read it's not too common, or even at all, that they switch to blue dials from white or black dials, as they are 'boutique' or special editions. The seller has sent me the invoice/service report outlining that they did do a dial swap from black to blue and I contacted the service dealer as well in order to confirm that the report is authentic and it was.I'm just a little worried because of what i've read. I just want to make sure that it's legitimate. The store I am buying from is very reputable and have been in the business for a very long time. Also, previous owner had apparently paid significant sum for them to switch it out.I appreciate your help!I've attached a picture of the

Premium ($ or %) for tropical dials?
Is there a standard premium $ (or %) for valuation on tropical speedmaster dials?I know Tropical is very subjective. One person's tropical is another person's degradation, aging and mildew. In my eyes, attractive tropical is uniform dark brown / chocolate color on the dial, and hands that match or complement that dial

PO 8500 w/MESH
I know some don't like it, but I changed it up and went with the mesh. I bought the watch this past weekend and ordered the mesh the next day. When I got home (to about 4 inches of snow) it was waiting for me.So I threw it on.I ordered it from Otto Frei. It may not be as hefty as the mesh that comes standard on the PO or on the Ploprof, but I like the look. Its a touch tighter than the one I had on the 42mm. I may need the extension for the one notch.Rob

speedmaster professional moonphase:3576.50.00
Is there any interest in this model? .omegawatches/index.ph...000&no_cache=1 Its a professional, manual wind, sapphire sandwich with moonphase and date. I know its not the watch that went to the moon, but in reality not even though sapphire sandwich went up. I really would like a watch with date, so I think the moonphase and date are nice touches considering its a moon watch. I also like its a 42mm alike the original and I know Omega makes a 40mm with date only. So here is my dilemma, considering that the 3576.50.00 and 3573.50.00 are not that much different in price, which one would you get? I think I really like the moonphase? From a collector's point of view, do you think this a bad move? How about the 3573.50.00? or the original 3570.50.00? Thanks for all your help.

2nd Patek joined the family
After 5550p, I needed one that I can wear casually, well actually I need one that can wear at all So, picked up my favourite nautilus to date. 5726A! I had a little debate between this and 5712g given that the little price difference for the case difference, but the balanced dial and looks of 5726A just got me.Here you go with some photos, not very good quality, sorry about that. Will try and take better ones soon.
