Watch What-If: Omega Speedmaster
"Watch What-If" is a special column on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer that asks the playful question "what if an iconic watch you know and love was offered in a different style?" The idea embraces a good timepiece's core design and has fun by offering new colors and material concepts to stimulate your senses. These ideas may be provocative, artistic, or just plain silly. This is about fun, Photoshop, and the celebration of wrist watch design and experimentation. The original design we work off will always be at the bottom of the article. The designs are brought to life by Beau Hudspeth who does the artwork and conception after he and I choose the models and styles to focus on. These special design experiments are extremely time consuming and labor intensive but we hope you enjoy the results. Ideas and comments are more than welcome. Enough response may even lead to a round two of design of the same watch - so please comment below. You are also encouraged to suggest watches that make it into

Liquid Metal offer
I found a Liquid Metal at my local Omega boutique.Whats strange is the MSRP I saw is different to that in the USA.On a separate thread, the US MSRP suggested is $5700 but the one here converted from HKD is $5243. And the HK dollar is pegged to the USD so there isn't really any ROE factor here altering the price.Need your help guys, its pricey - but should I swap my regular PO for the LM?

Something is brewing 116710LN
Reading all the SS Professional line shortages there hasn't been much talk on the black gmt 116710LN. However it seems to me even in shorter supply then the BLNR, Sea Dweller, and Subs. I recently was in 4 cities in Italy and out of the 8 AD's I visited non of them had a GMT LN, not suprising but what was surprising was what they had to say. Each of them had bigger wait lists for the black GMT then they did for Subs. They also said they had been getting a few subs in here and there but no GMT LN. All my local AD's are the same, they actually had a Sub Date they just got in in the case a few days ago. One of my out of state AD's got in a few Subs the other day along with a Sea Dweller that I picked up, but no LN's. Also when I was in Vegas for CES same talk about LN's from AD's there. Pretty interesting. I'm thinking some type of change is coming. I know we never know and it's all speculation but something must be brewin with the 116710LN.
