Trade SMP for Speedy Pro?
My first luxury watch was the SMP black dial James Bond. I've since bought a Rolex sub and don't see the point of owning two dive watches. The Omega still has sentimental value, being my first real watch. It also looks better (IMO) and feels more substantial than the sub. Nonetheless, I'm considering trading it out for a speedy pro. I don't particularly like the looks of the moonwatch. I honestly don't think it will get much wrist time. However, it has history, just like the submariner, so I think it would be a good trade for my slowly growing collection. I'm just wondering what you guys think? Stick with my first love? Or go with the collectible?

5712 in stainless or white gold??
Hey guys,New to the forum. I'll post an introduction and pics soon. I've searched and read a number of old threads, but wanted some fresh and straight opinions on 5172 in stainless vs white gold.I have a Rolex Yachtmaster ss/platinum and a 5196r already. I love Patek so much that I wanted more of a daily driver from the brand. I love the complications of the 5712 and also the 240 movement with the 22k micro rotor. I'm on the wait list for the SS, but I have the immediate opportunity to buy the white gold version. As you know, wait list is (as I was told) is at least 18 months (from the PP salon in London). The SS seems to be the most sought after. Is it the more desirable piece, or is it due to price? I can always buy the 5712g now and trade out of it when my SS arrives. I have held both pieces next to each other as I also wanted to compare dial color and weight of each. The white gold has a nice heft to it.My conundrum is; I like the discreet, yet special nature of having a

First Rolex: Sub Hulk vs. DJ Dark Rhodium
hello out there so probaly my next trip will be to Amsterdam and honestly , i cant decide between 2 of the watches. both of them really beautiful for my taste. i am 28 years an im searching for the ideal watch for Casual, Dress, and gym time . 24/7 :) probaly after the purchase my next watch will be in the next 5-10 years, so i really checking carefully :)i think the Hulk is more Sportive , but on the hand more luxury deep an the shades of the green are wonderful. but maybe after a year it will be rdicilous (i dont know why, maybe because its not too formal and not too classic?)and regret that I did not take a watch that more traditionalmy concern if its really fit most events and dressing as well , the DJ classic, beautiful and should be fit to most occasions and dressing , but i find it little bit classic without a twist waiting for your comments and opnions :)pic from google:

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
