Close-Up: Omega Speedmaster ��Grey Side of the Moon��
To accompany its highly successful Dark Side of the Moon collection, Omega launched the Omega Speedmaster Grey Side of the Moon last year. Fashioned from ceramic and platinum, the watch features several design elements that distinguish it from other Omega watches.The watch’s look is inspired by the lunar dust that captured the footprints of the Apollo astronauts in the iconic images beamed back to Earth. When creating this watch, Omega had to employ a special process to capture the color of the lunar surface. The ceramic material starts out white, but it takes on the required darker hue in a high-temperature plasma furnace. Exposed to a proprietary mix of gasses at a temperature of 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit for three hours, the ceramic emerges in a shimmering grey. This unique ceramic is used to create the case, caseback, bezel, crown, pushers and buckle of this 44.25-mm timepiece.In another first for Omega, the engraved tachymetric scale on the bezel is filled with Super-Lum

Rolex Warranty Card Differences- Transitional?
Posted on the other website, but will maybe get a faster or more informed answer here....So, I am on the hunt for another Rolex and I am noticing some differences in the warranty cards for what appear to be the same model. Some have just the serial # and model. Others have that plus the actual description of the dial color (and bracelet?) In this case it's a DJ41. Was this a transition thing from the DJII to the 41? Thanks.
