Help purchasing SeaMaster Pro
This looks like an awesome forum and I hope to get more involved. I am looking to make my first luxury watch purchase and have narrowed my search down to a Rolex Submariner or the Omega Seamaster Professional. The Rolex is a little more than I want to spend right now but will revisit in the future. That being said I have been looking for a gently pre-owned 2531.80, 2220.80, or 212.30.41.20.03.001. I am new to this so my first question is what should I be looking for? Is Box and papers the best way? Is it really safe to buy from the forums as someone has suggested?I was going through the awards offers available on my Amex and there was on offer for a $450 statement credit on a $1500 purchase from Gray and Sons in Miami. They have a watch that fits the bill but at $3300 seems very high. I contacted them and they are willing to reduce to $2950 so with the statement credit that's $2500. Is that reasonable? I haven't spoken to them yet so I am not sure what the watch comes with other

It's 5:00 somewhere !!
Looks like it's about that time !!!!

Vintage speedmaster dial...?
I was in a cafe playing backgammon with the owner last week and one of his other friends comes in and sits down and watches us.The whole time I kept staring at his watch because I knew it was an Omega but I've never seen a dial like his, so I finally asked.Apparently it was a Speedmaster he got as a gift in the 80's from a friend.The dial was all white, but it had a weird look to it, kind of like carbon fiber? I have no way to really describe it. It was white, but not like Explorer II white on a Rolex.Edit: it wasn't mother of pearl, either. Unless they used a different style of MOP dials back then. And I hate to say it, but coming from Egypt, the possibility of a fake could be considered, if nobody can find what I'm talking aboutAny ideas/photo suggestions? I want to trade my Tag for one before I buy my Deepsea now.

Patek & Rolex Conundrum ...
I can't tell if something is wrong with me or if this is normal. I own a few Pateks including the 5167 and 5296. I've owned several Rolexes over the past few years including Datejust, Sub, Yachtmaster and sold them all due to size, thickness and comfort issues with the bracelet. I now have an opportunity to pickup a Daytona but afraid I won't like it as well and not looking forward to losing money on a flip. Has anyone else been in the position of never warming up to Rolex and only wanting to wear Patek ? I feel I should own at least one Rolex !? What gives ??
