THREE AP ICONIC WATCHES Meet for Drinks!!!
Last night I met with one of our dear TRF members in Chicago to have a few beers and let our iconic watches meet each other for the first time. I brought a few pieces including my 25721ST.0.1000ST.01 and my 15300ST. Our dear friend brought his gorgeous 25770ST.0.0001KE.01 on a black strap instead of the kevlar one. Something I've always loved about this watch besides the gorgeous kevlar strap is that the case is shaped like the 'End Of Days' and the dial is just like the EOD but in blue and gray. As you probably know, it's almost impossible to see our watches in the wild, let alone having them together at the same time. I've only seen mine twice and his three times in the last 15 years.All I can say is that it was a fun night! Beers were ice cold, pork belly sliders were warm and tasty and the chance to have all these watches together was just priceless. I like his watch so much that I don't know if I'll get a Diver or one like his next. Any thoughts? Do you think mine and his are too

Ideal vehicle for the endearing McCarthy "SPY"
Until now, that is: critics say “Spy” is an inspired, uproarious spoof of espionage thrillers loaded with self-effacing performances and sharp jabs at workplace sexism. When an arms dealer identifies several of the CIA’s top field agents, desk-bound analyst Susan Cooper (McCarthy) gets her chance to go undercover in Paris. But during the course of her mission, Cooper must endure a string of indignities, from an unflattering cover story to a borderline-psychotic fellow agent (Jason Statham) who questions her competence at every turn. “Spy” is Certified Fresh at 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here:Fresh: “The busy, silly script allows Ms. McCarthy to be her own best sidekick, in effect an entire sketch-comedy troupe unto herself.” — A.O. Scott, New York TimesFresh: “‘Spy’ may not be a great movie, but it is great fun. And at times it will have you wondering if there’s

Decided to Give My SMP a New Look, Nato Strap!
I've been wanting to get the Omega Ridged Rubber Strap for my SMP for the last ten years or so since I got my SMP. But, I just couldn't justify spending that much on it.My SMP has been great to me and has been my primary watch for the past 10 years. It has a lot of memories and sentimental value. But, I've gone through two clasps on it and I wanted to freshen it up a bit. So, I noticed the trend of the Nato and Zulu straps on the forum and decided to give it a shot.Initially I had an eBay special $5 watch tool kit that included a spring bar removal tool, but the tool SUCKED. So, I spent some money and bought the Bergeon one and I had my Omega bracelet off in minutes.Here are a couple pics of the watch:I'm enjoying it. If you guys have any other suggestions on other cool Nato or Zulu straps, please let me know!

Please help identify this watch...
Good morning everyone,I walked by this jewelry store yesterday and saw this watch again. In June of 2009, I was starting my search for a watch and came across this one at the very same place. He started by saying he wanted $3500, but could sell it for $2000, then $1500, then finally $900. I of course passed, not feeling at all comfortable with their random pricing, plus I couldn't find any info on this watch. Anyone know anything about it? What would it be worth? He of course told me that he just got it in, and it would sell any day now, but about a year later not only does he have the same one, but has collected 4 more, which don't seem to be hot sellers either. The store is located in Rockefeller center. Thanks for the help.

Pic of my 'new' 2254.50
Hi all, had the camera out to take some snaps of my new-to-me Omega and I thought I'd take some of my other non- Rolex watches as well. As with most people I have a few more watches but I am far too lazy to hunt them all out! Cheers - N.
