Any less expensive options for Omega service out there?

No more Arabic number lume on Aquanaut 5167/A?? Please post your lume pics!
Hey guys,I'm on the fast track at acquiring my grail watch....the 5167/A. However, a local AD who hasn't had any inventory since the middle of 2012 indicated to me that newly produced 5167/A (after mid-year 2012) are NOT carrying Arabic number lume???Is this correct??One amazing characteristic of this watch that I truly appreciate is the AMAZING lume, far superior than any Rolex/Tudor I have owned.Could you guys post some lume shots of your 5167/A for me?? Thanks for your help on this issue, if it is true, I'm gonna have to track down an older 5167/A.Regards, David

I want something to compliment my BLNR.

After much research, hours on the forums, more hours on Youtube reviews, I started to settle on the Submariner 114060 No Date model. It has the functionality (GlideLock, timing bezel and all brushed bracelet) and clean looks I was after. Then, as we all know, availability tanked. I wasn't able to find anything at local ADs through November to present. With Basel coming up and rumors of new models and price increases circulating, I decided that in order to get the watch I truly wanted, I was probably going to have to pounce as soo
