Hands-On: With The Incredible Richard Mille RM27-01 Rafa Nadal
This isn't a new watch, it was shown last year. And on top of that, all 50 pieces of Richard Mille's RM27-01 Rafa Nadal have long been sold. But, we had the chance to see the incredible light-weight, mega-casual watch yesterday and each time we come across one, it leaves us blown away. 2 OF 12 The RM27-01 is potentially the coolest casual watch on the planet. It is light as a feather (like, you have no idea), and was specifically developed for Rafa Nadal to wear while he plays in professional matches. The entire movement is suspended by four braided steel cables, just .35mm thick. Each cable is fixed to a tensioner that is pulled tight by the watchmaker and adjusted as needed. Because of this system, the RM27-01 can withstand acceleration up to 5000 G. 3 OF 12 The case is a grey anthracite polymer injected with carbon nanotubes that was specifically designed to take impact from both the outside and the movement on the inside itself. The case is mono

Help! Deciding which watch.
Hi all, would like to ask you all for some advice on which watch to get. I currently own vintage Rolexs, a 5164a, and a 114060. I do not wear my vintage Rolexs and I only wear the 114060 and the 5164a. I have had a few other watches, but I don't see me buying them again, with the exception of a 1680, 114270, and the 15400. My feeling is that with my two watch combo, it can handle pretty much all situations I'd be in. I do not need a dress watch as I am pretty much jeans or khakis and t-shirt 365. I'd like to ask you all if I should get a 15202, 26470, or the 26400 and the reasons as to why. My wrist size is 7, not flat nor round.Thanks in advance!

How do people deal with this?
Last night's dinner with the wife was ruined by this tiny little hairline scratch!! Aarrrrgghhh to top it off my wife was laughing... she kept saying her Daytona had more and she didnt care...she obviously doesn't understand her husbands' love for perfection! Anyways felt like I had to vent... Here is a pic of my daily 26470or with it's new battle scar...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

NY Omega Boutique
Was in the NY Omega Boutique today to see if they would adjust my Seamaster Professional as it was running about 6 seconds slow per day. They adjusted the watch while I waited and it is now running approximately 1 second per day fast. They did not charge me for the adjustment even though the watch is about 10 years old. While there I checked out the new PO with the ceramic bezel. This is one impressive watch. The limited edition version in TI with the blue dial and the blue liquid metal bezel is really beautiful, but expensive. I have a feeling that Omega is not going distribute very many of these models to retail stores in NY. You are going to be forced to buy them at the boutique at full list price if you want to buy in NY.
