Novel Omega Olympics Speedmaster Watch Is Charming: Five Counters And Classically Styled
Omega has been in bed with the Olympics committee for a long time, being the "official time keeper" for most of the events. What this basically means is that Omega gets to put their name on the clocks and such that time events. But it is possible that Omega is actually making some of these time keepers, most of which are digital these days and rely on sensors, rather than human hands for operation.Having said that, the opportunity for Omega to release special Olympics event watches is too tempting to resist, and this time around, they have something really special. Despite the thick layer of controversy which exists atop this year's Summer Olympics, Omega is able to provide a truly charming timepiece in commemoration of the event. Surely to become a collectors item as the watch so gracefully combines the five ring Olympian logo with chronograph functionality that the Omega Speedmaster is know for.

PP 5980/1r-001 MSRP?
G'day everyone... Anyone know for sure what is the MSRP for 5980/1r-001? Normally what sort of discount do PP give on these all gold model?

My Rolex story - new chapters added monthly
I was never big on Rolex due to the connotations associated with it and the fact that everyone and their mom knows Rolex - I don't like drawing attention to myself. I finally decided to give in and buy my first Rolex once my wife gave me the go ahead.I walked in to an AD 3 months ago and picked up a 114060 SubC. Great watch as it is built like a tank and the bracelet on it nothing short of amazing. Buying the 114060 was a bad idea . . . as it was an eye opener. A month later I walked in to a local jeweler that only carries pre-owned watches including quite a few Rolexes. I tried on a Polar 16570. I always thought the watch looked bland in pictures but in person I fell in love immediately. I went back home and did some research and ended up purchasing one with drilled lug holes and SELs.

While it is amazing in build quality and that bracelet is the best on the market, t
