Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch With "Liquidmetal" Ceramic Bezel
Why on Earth Omega would call a ceramic bezel "Liquidmetal" is a mystery to me (see update below). It not only is ceramic not liquid, but it isn't a metal. Well, it is liquid-like when being formed, but you get the idea. Ceramic as used on watches is actually made from glass as I understand it. It used to be that most bezels on dive watches were made from aluminum. Not sure why that is, but it is still very common. One approach to "luxurize" the bezel was the Blancpain approach of doing a bezel with a sapphire crystal over it. This prevented the scratching that people hate. This is really the problem with aluminum. Sure you can replace the bezels. but it is a pain, and not something you want to do when paying a lot for a diver's watch.(UPDATE): Turns out liquid metal is something else, not the ceramic part of the watch. Liquidmetal seems to be a special titanium alloy that has the manufacturing process of plastic. Thus it is very malleable. Omega uses Liquid metal at least in parts of

World Time 5110P is the most photogenic beauty, but wasn't for me
To add variety to my collection, I have wanted a world time watch for years. I have always drooled over PP's choices, especially the 5110P. In my opinion the 5110P is the most beautiful watch in photographs. Its balanced design is superb. It's a photogenic beauty. BUT, on my wrist, it was a complete disappointment. To me the blue was much darker in the real world, unlike the lovely color seen in pics with ideal lighting. And at 37mm, it got lost on my wrist. I tried it on several times over the years, but couldn't pull the trigger. One time I even tried it on and a 5130 on at the same store. It was like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. You know, I found the one that was just right. I could feel it. I continued my search for another year and finally found a great deal used, pulled the trigger, and I am SO happy now with my 5130J, and my 3rd PP in the family.Those original, heritage, world-time classic hands of the 5130 grew on me. Now I like them. The size and fit is excellent for my wrist

Datejust II vs Datejust 41 (Side by side)
I am interested in the White Dial DJ. My local AD only has the newer 41 version but I have been searching the net all day to find a true comparison of the differences. I have seen many comparisons of the 2 models but with different features, colors, dials, numerals, etc. Does anyone have both (in the exact same configuration) to post a pic of the 2 side by side. Is there a picture out there on the net that can show the difference of the same models side by side? I cant find one and want to see both next to each other to compare the differences.it seems there are avid fans for both versions so I'd like to research a little before pulling the trigger. Thanks in advance.

Anyone gotten a discount on a SS Submariner this year?
I'm gonna pick mine up from an AD tomorrow. It's set aside for me, no wait list was involved. I'm wondering if anyone has had success getting a discount in this situation since the Great SS Drought has begun. I'm in the Southwest, USA.
