How many bracelet links on a 15300ST ?
Hi,Does anyone know how many bracelet links a new AP 15300ST has?I'm asking because I can buy a used 15300ST, but I'm not sure it still has all the links (and the current owner also doesn't know). I count 22 links on this watch (see picture), but I think a new watch has more??Fyi, my wrist is around 7.5inch so I fear it might not fit...Thanks in advance!

is omega poised to take over?
i am noticing that omega is continuously doing stuff to improve its watches and get more customers. they are in the right direction, improving movements, designs while keeping a reasonable price.but are they getting there? i mean is their progress moving fast enough?

Omega Price increase
Just spoke to my AD and Omega, Breitling are going up 01/02/09.Some are going up by around 8.5% and others by around 11% but he said the average across the board is 10%He also said he wouldn't be able to do anything price wise regarding a discount once the increase kicks in which is a blow. Especially as he has a watch I want at the moment and would only give me 10% which wasn't good enough. It will have to wait.Anybody getting more than 10% from their AD's?Si

Purchased my first Rolex
I've been a watch aficionado for years and started collecting them seriously about 10 years ago. I had a limited budget, so the richest thing I had in my collection was a 1966 Speedmaster Pro 105.012, which I've loved for years as my favorite watch. When I bought my Speedy it was still within my budget, but a bit of a stretch, at a whopping $2500. Now that it has appreciated in value 3-4x what I paid, I decided to pass it along to the next person who will value it. And I figured it would be a momentous occasion to use the proceeds for my first Rolex!So, I purchased a Datejust 36mm silver, stick dial from Alan Furman Jewelers and it just showed up today. While I'll miss the Speedy, and know it will be worth far more in the future than my new Rolex, I'm happy to have owned it and am satisfied it will bring some other collector some joy.And I'm so excited to own my first new Rolex!
