My journey to Globemaster
Looking back, I guess it began with this Connie I owned from 1963:That pie-pan dial was forever etched on my heart.Last year I was searching for a dress watch and after trying to love two 8500 ATs, I was looking for something a bit thinner with a classic look. The introduction of the Globemaster looked like a possibility. A test drive of the SS model at the OB proved disappointing however. The blue dial was nice but from experience, I knew I would tire of it. Plus, I had never cared for the AT bracelet so the GM bracelet sealed my decision to go with the strap. (My GM was not intended for casual wear anyway and I prefer straps for dress.) Admittedly the fluted bezel was a surprise but I was disappointed in the tungsten carbide. There was no pop, just blah. So I put the Globemaster on the back burner to simmer. Earlier this year when the GM was no longer exclusive to the boutiques, I revisted the Omega website and took a look at all the models. The all gold and platinum models were off

Nato and spring bar
Do you guys use the oem spring bars when you put on your Nato straps? Does the Nato put pressure on the spring bars causing them to bend or come loose? Thanks.

Why is 2018 going to be different?
In every SS Watches are Nowhere to be Found thread, I feel like at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the posters have a similar response; just wait until 2018. Their playbook has been excellent, they've created more demand than ever and possibly the ultimate luxury brand on Earth, can anyone who feels that the display cases will be filled to brim in 2018 explain why they feel that way?I'm in the boat that says they're going to let demand exceed supply again.A) It has worked like magic for themB) Exceeding demand will then curb itC) Exclusivity fuels demand

Hello everyone,My Rolex Explorer II was stolen on 11/21/17 from where i was staying in Marsh Harbour Abaco Bahamas The watch was very special to me and would very much like to have it back. Perhaps through social media and the internet i will be successful in doing so. My first attempt to do so is by joining this forum. The serial # is 9C1141Q4The police report has been made with the local authoritiesperhaps there will be an attempt to sell the watch in Freeport or Nassau Bahamas or on the mainland of the United States. I am looking for advise from others as to what else i can do to reach out and prevent this from being sold Should i be reporting this to other forums or directly to Rolex. Are there sites that i can post the serial # on to prevent its sale. I would greatly appreciate the advise of the forum . thank you. .
